my new favourite photographer

i came across Rosie Hardy in a blog and i looked at her flickr page and her work is breathtaking. shes from england and shes only 18. i think theyre awesome.

works on display!

so this is what my work looks like in the display case at Pepe Hall. im super happy about this and apologies for the awful camera phone quality. YAY!

one last piece of old work

this is a piece i made for my boyfriend kyle's birthday. its a drawing of this photo he loves of his dog back home and i enclosed her in an ogee filled with dog tags, treats, leashes, toys etc. just something i did for fun that i thought he would enjoy for his birthday.

more old work

for this project we were given random 'nostalgic' themes, such as toys, or tv shows from when we were kids, like legos, or the jetsons, and we had to create 2 patterns based off of that theme we were given. i got tamagotchis [awesome] and i focused on creating repeats using the pixelated creatures. theyre all hand-drawn so that it didnt look so computer genetrated, with perfect lines etc, i wanted them to look like a human made them. this first one was the one that i had, and it's the baby version of the chicken, and i remember i gave it to my mums boyfriend at the time to take care of while i was in school and he killed it, in its little chick prime. i saw this piece as a memorial.

work dump

so here is some work i did in my first cad class, its been sitting in my external hard drive and its about time i put it on here.
this project i had to combine 2 fashion styles; hip hop and country club. and i came up with these designs. i like them, but i wouldnt say that it's my finest work. i did them more as comical pieces.

this one went off on a bit of a tangent, i was thinking hip hop - graffiti - banksy, so i computerised spray paint splatters and paint rolls over a 'no diving' sign, that, i guess, would be in a country club pool. and banksy's most recurring motif is a rat, so that was my thought process with that. it's a 5-star pattern, and the rat and no diving sign is hand drawn.

this is a traditional stripe using the cream and beige from the 'country club' colour scheme and the purple, teal, orange and red from the 'hip hop' colour scheme. after this work was printed i went over the yellow in gold paint.

this one uses predominantly 'country club' motifs, and the background is a stylised pattern you would see on a cable knit sweater. the colours used are more on the 'hip hop' side and the horses were hand-drawn. same goes for the yellow, it was covered in gold paint after printing. this was a directional 5-star.

this was my take on an argyle, and the crossover yellow is meant to look like gold chains. everything is hand drawn and i wanted the lines to not look so perfect. the yellow was outlined in gold aswell after printing and it's a straight repeat.
