Working from home

Kabang

Quick sketch drawing from an image I found online. It was supposed to just be an outline, but I found myself really enjoying filling the boats with abrupt lines and scratchy colour. 

Use a thread to tie the pieces together

It's been a while

The last two weeks have been about lino cutting. It was a process I was initially scared of, what if it went wrong? I had spent £2.50 on this piece of lino, what if I made it look rubbish?! After speaking to a tutor at uni who made me cut into it a bit more fiercely, I've decided I really, actually quite like it. So for the last 14 days  I have been happily hacking into lino. It smells a bit funny, and makes my hand ache but the finished result is worth it.

I needed to scan these drawings in because the ink pen I used is making the ink blur, and turn a blue colour, they were originally black! Sorry for the bad cropping on the last picture, I believe the term is called 'laziness'.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel

Images produced after reading about 'Rapunzel Syndrome' a condition when a person twists their own hair, pulls it out, and shallows it. A 'Trichobezoar' is formed in the stomach and will have an extending tail into the intestine. The images are for a project focused around fairytale and folklore.

First in the series of three. I scanned my head into the scanner (I suggest it, it's quite fun) and then edited the images in Photoshop. This is part of the fairytale and folklore project.
