Booooooooooooom


I came across this website www.booooooom.com and went into the art section finding some inspiration.


Luca Mantovanelli


Isaac Salazar
Possibly the most insane piece of work i've seen today.


Jose Lerma
I thought this was interesting as it's similar to the work i produced for my previous drawing module.



Jacob O Rolfe


Thomas C Chung
Okay, maybe this is the best piece of work i've seen today.

Yoko Furusho


At the moment, this Japanese illustrator is actually the best influence ever. I love the way that you can imagine being in the image with her work and the only feeling you'll get is a warm fuzzy calm feeling. Her attention to detail is so incredible, and the colours she uses with her work compliment the mood instantly.

This is called 'Marriage'





I don't enjoy umbrellas at all, but I enjoy this.



This illustration reminds me very much of my childhood as I spent the majority of my time in the garden making and drawing weird made up flowers and little creatures. I think I was quite young.


beautiful sketchbook work.



The Fine Art Section


Tactile work has to be a favourite of mine as I love touching piece of work as, when used appropriately can say so much about a piece of work. Handmade works I see as more personal and really cared for.
Favourite artist at the moment!

RESEARCH

So i've decided to look into portable vinyl players as for my final piece for the D&AD brief for Diesel I want to promote my chosen tracks in this format, not just a vinyl but I will make form scratch a fully working portable vinyl player. I want to be able to take a really professional approach to this project by researching into advertising and contacting the band, etc.

This designer http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/06/18/turntable-gets-a-makeover/ of this simple lino portable vinyl player, the only reason he is unknown is because I searched for it in google one day and it was there, the next, it was not.



Obviously, mine won't be as advanced as this, I want to aim more towards the appearance and style of the item itself.

Some new work

New Brief - New Semester
Okay, so I fluffed up a little bit last semester, but I am finally out of my sickness hole and am ready for a challenge. For this new brief we were given about 7 or 8 to choose from. I decided to choose the brief, 'create an illustrated interpretation of a musical track that is experienced by the viewer in an unconventional and pioneering way'.

I've decided to focus on the band Animal Collective as their music is experimental and some people say it comes across over the top and vulgar. Personally, this is one of my favourite bands to relax to and I feel that they aren't as appreciated as they should be, their album art work is fantastic already but I want to draw more attention to the viewer/listener so that they will be more heard of.


I've focused on two songs so far. These two images are for the song 'Leaf House' which is one of my favourite songs at the moment. Below is a Photoshoped version of the original.


The next track i've focused on is 'What would I want? Sky!' which is pretty much exactly what it says in the title, sang a hell of a lot of times, but is a beautiful song nonetheless.
Very simple design for this one, I'm going to get on some new ideas and experiment with collage.
