Half Term

This half term I've got several aims:

1. Work up my grades, focusing on the units that need the most attention

2. Help convert the Oil Painting room into a Gallery for our final show

3. Amend FMP

4. Visit Halls

Halls of Residence next year

I've now got my halls and mananged to secure a little £325 wedge off my Nan & Grandad to pay my deposit which is a touch. In all honesty i cant wait to get up to london and start my new Higher Education.

Pretty Good

DAL

DAL is a chinese artist born in 1984. He works on very different medias, but this wire-like graffiti series is outstanding. Here are some examples:

Oil Painting Prep

We're using the oil painting room for our final show, and as you can see it needs a lot of work so I've taken some photos for a little before, middle and end.


These are the before:

Time to work up units

Ron English

Is the creator of the new Chris brown album art, which caught my eye when i was browsing itunes
He's an American contempary artist, suprisingly born in 1959 which makes him ermm...52
52 years old and he's knocking out art like that.

Joe Fenton

Her personal work, executed in pencil and ink, are inspired by some of the early Surrealists like Hieronymus Bosch and Breugal.

Inspiration

I'm going to start uploading anything inspirational i come across during my wasted hours just browsing the internet.

First

Marco Klefisch

Is a German illustrator who is quite illusive, but also was a part of the ad campaign for carhartt, he's raw and talented when it comes to pen work.

Dave Decat

Dave Decat was a tattoo artist until Carhartt approached him to create campaigns for Carhartt worldwide. He's a very individual illustrator, whos work i find very interesting in that he has a style in which he stays with even though it may not be to best of his ability.

University Progression

I'm currently in the stage of UCAS Extra. The process is that I can now submit individual choices to Universities, 1 at a time. I'm currently applying to LCC (again), this time for  FDA in Design for Graphic communication.
