BA YR3: CIRCUS
I have been continuing with the idea of using animals as a metaphor for repression, looking at circus' and the way in which animals are forced to live outside of their natural habit, and in some cases abused, for the amusement of others. Here's a couple of examples:

PAPER JUKEBOX: CUPCAKE CAMP
On 2nd April I headed down to 'Cupcake Camp Bournemouth' with some of the Paper Jukebox team to create a crafty collaboration of cupcakes! Surrounded by literally thousands of cakes we had no end of inspiration to draw from and came up with this:

PAPER JUKEBOX: 'OFF WITH THEIR HEADS'
On 30th March Paper Jukebox had their first live art event at Sherbet Lounge, Bournemouth. We themed the boards around the night, which was based on Alice in Wonderland, making the boards into playing cards of various sorts. I was doing a collaboration with Sophie Rae and we took the idea of using the two heads from the playing cards combining a cockerel and zebra to fit in with the entrancing, weird world of Alice:

'TOSS OFF'
On 9th March I played a big part in the organisation and hosting of a pancake themed fund raiser event, ‘TOSS OFF’, for my 3rd Year Final Illustration show. The night was a great success, we packed out The Winchester (Bournemouth) and managed to raise a very respectable sum. The event involved a pancake tossing competition (hence the name), pancake eating, a pancake themed burlesque act, various DJ’s, an art sale, a spray on tattoo stand and vodka jelly shots!

BA YR3: 'TOADS'
I have been working from the poem 'Toads' by Philip Larkin, the general theme running throughout it being about how society represses individuals and the expectations in place which cannot be broken so those living in such a society can never truely be free. I have taken these ideas as inspiration for imagery.
These are also some of the first images in which I have begun to experiment with combining my two styles of working:
