Seeing Double Development

Here's part of a page I'm working on. On the theme of identical twins, the idea behind this one is twins having to share their possessions, and these two identical boys are fighting over a Teddy.
I'm thinking I may try out digital colouring and adding textures.

Tommy Lee Edwards

I like his colours and tone use. These are from Turf, a book he illustrated for Jonathan Ross.

Lucinda Rogers use of ink

Well, I'm back at University now and back into a heavy back breaking workload. But to get to the point of this post; I've been looking at Lucinda Rogers after Monday's lecture.

I'm liking her use of varying line thickness, it's quite expressive. Also on Monday I was made aware that she's been influenced by Paul Hogarth.

Sneaker Freaker

I've been focusing on sneakers lately, the culture, the looks, the style, collecting. etc. All in aid of our latest, and last of the semester, brief. I've been trying to work out an aesthetic for my exhibition poster and banners.

Here's the resulting work so far.

Heels and Ribbons

During my week researching shoes, I found 17th Century Men's shoes quite interesting. Why were men wearing high heels, and why were they decorated like women's shoes?

Early in this period, heeled boots were the fashion, but after the French King Louis XIV, men started desiring shapely legs. (as clearly shown in his portrait)

Here's a link to an informative website. http://www.headoverheelshistory.com/1600.html

Footwear

For the current brief we have been asked to conduct primary research on shoes. One aspect of our primary research is photography and here are some of the photographs I have produced.

Olivier Kugler

After Tony showed some examples of his work in Monday's lecture, I sampled more of this fine gentleman's artwork.
