Playing on Photoshop

Final print; edition of 6

Prints from last week

 

A few bits from sketchpads

Mind mapping

My brief; "New and headlines: blending politics and news stories.

I first made a mind map, and opted not to work with a current news story as it was of no interest to me and could have been too heavy.

I've started looking at how women are portrayed in the media; and how desire and seduction draws the masses to the media in most regards.

Finished print

Edition of 14

Lithography print

Just realised I never actually posted the portrait of my mum and I.

Here it is

Painting into prints

I had two prints which I had used as proofs and messed up, so I decided to paint back into them and see if they were any bit salvageable! I ended up going off on a rant in one of them...

 The colour came out best in the one above; the smaller picture to the left shows the print signed.

The picture the right is a bit too girly for my liking, but it worked... All it needs is a pony in it now...

:)

Sketchpad for "home" brief

Almost ready to be bound!  yay! 

Here's some snaps of a few pages

MRPVC drawings

Random sketch of my lips on the left, and on the right the bleed through onto the next page.

Lithography

Our brief was related to "home", requiring us to design an image around objects or reminders of our home, be it geographic, cultural or personal.

I chose to do a portrait of my mum and me as a baby, framing it with a chain gifted from my grandmother and a birdcage.

Print assessment, March 22

Picture book, and 2 finished pieces.

Box progress!

I filled the box with dead broken twigs from a sampling which didn't thrive in my garden because it was overcrowded, cigarettes and empty packets, broken glass, receipts, chewing gum, used U-bahn tickets and an empty plastic bag.


On the right is the box filled with these items with and without the window panel, which is a dry point plate I used during the week.


The plate currently just holds black ink within the cuts, but tomorrow I'm going to apply ink onto certain areas so the image stands out and can be easily recognized in front of the array of found items and rubbish.


Everything that has been placed on or in the box is relevant to my study of the squat. The box shows how it is self contained.


Below is a clearer picture of the inner contents of the box.
