Old Ladies and Business Men






I made these dolls for a short 3D illustration project in...February or something. The guidelines of the project were to create a piece of 3D illustration based of research we’d complied from observing London’s beautiful public. I had ideas to make many many different dolls. A tall lanky student or a round mother with identical miniature children for example. But the time constraints of the project restricted me (to ten days). So that was a stretch. I chose three of my favourite envisioned characters.

The first is a business man. He is tall and skinny. He is stone blue, because blue is a colour that blends in; A colour that everyone agrees with. His attire is a clean cut suit (it’s from Marks and Spencer). The business man doesn’t have a face. Therefore he doesn’t have any facial expression. He stands on the tube with glazed non-existent eyes. He is a human piece of tofu: he mixes well with everything but doesn’t really stand out.



The second and third are two little old ladies. The kind that live in deepest rural England (where i come from), and decide to exchange, for a day, the Cotswold stone houses and single carriageway roads for vast London. The kind that come up to London for a coach day trip. They bring packed lunches and go to Covent Garden and have tea.
