FACE OF FINN

As a collective, Paper Jukebox decided to produce portraits of each other to put onto the website, as a way to showcase the diversity of our styles. This was the first time I had done a portrait in this fashion, using detailed pencil drawing alongside naive colours, so I found it quite a challenge to make the different aspects come together. However, I think that I managed to find a way for it to work:

(A4 size - pencil, graphite, fineliner, watercolour crayon)

BIG SPLASH

On 25th September I took part in The Big Draw's Big Splash. The launch of the annual, month long festival was at the King's Place, London and opened by the incredible Quentin Blake, who went on to do an impressive drawing infront of the crowd. Amongst helping out with other bits and bobs I had a great time assisting Joe Berger, Linda Scott and Nina Chakrabarti with their workshops. There were all sorts of activities going on including life drawing, making comics, fashion fanzines, bubble writing and making tin foil boats. Being able to work with such passionate, renowned artists is a brilliant way to get children inspired by art, giving them creative opportunities they may miss out on at school and home.

DUBBA JONNY ARTWORK

Given a very quick turnaround, I produced this cover for Dubba Jonny's next release of 'What Have You Got/Space Blasters' on the new label Liyan Records, unfortunately shortly after the tracks for release were changed so my artwork won't be used. I am currently building a website for Liyan Records, which should hopefully be up and running in the next few days.

BA YR3: EMP FINAL OUTCOME

These Illustrations are my final outcome for my degree, they are to be viewed as a series showing the beauty of the creatures as they are being tortured. Portraying repression, selfishness and inconsideration for others, showing how dark and twisted the world we live in is:





Massive thanks to everyone that's helped me along the way!
