August

So I did have a summer project to do prior to the start of my course. I’m now with UCA Maidstone, doing an illustration BA. The summer project was to drawn one’s personal space. But I was doodling in this book before I got the letter so here are some ambient-mind type doodles, and a few sketches;

I got totally obsessed with lines...

Max is easy to draw because he stays still quite often.

I also have these sweet rubber alphabet stamps which I love a lot. I know it’s kind of cheating, because if I want to use stamps so much I should probably make some, it would be more original. I do plan to do that this year. But I really love these, I think they are beautiful, so I used the stamps to record things I was over-hearing people say that seemed interesting to me. I like listening in to peoples’ conversations. It’s so interesting, getting I little bit of conversation and trying to think up the story behind it. Like, for example, yesterday I was at the cash point and a little way behind me there was a man on the phone having a heated conversation and he said “you’re a coward, and if you do this I won’t ever speak to you again, and that a promise.” Shit.
