House for Christmas

Going to be selling christmas cards with this design at the camberwell christmas fair, so everyone can make themselves a little old house.

Lady Gaga Felt Doll

This was a present to someone who is a big fan of the mother monster. Be warned, recreating an Alexander Mcqueen in felt is no easy task!

Large Scale Model.

The house now has a hinged front and all I need to do is paint it.

My hands are very sore from all the sanding!

Experimentation with Walk Project

Have decided to make one large scale model of the Cock Lane House.

It's of mdf and im making it a bit like a dolls house

Another Model

Fanny Kent of Cock Lane

Another possible illustration, this time for The Cock Lane Segment.

This is depicting when Fanny was disturbed from sleep by the scratching

in the wall before her death a month later.

Mother Clapp's Coffee House Illustration

I want to intersperse illustrations throughout the text

so by making them stand alone i think theis should be quite simple

The Fortunes Of War Tavern for Holborn Project

It is my intention to produce a small book part on Holborn's unsightly past.

I will focus on six buildings that all have a story to tell.

Each building is gone so i will be recreating all of the buildings as well as creating a map for them all to be placed within.

This building is The Fortunes of War Tavern.

The Inn was built after the great fire of 1666 and demolished in the 1900's.

Finished Image for The Cock Lane Ghost

Scanned Sketchbook pages

These two images are the most successful of my development pages for Walk.

Im still focusing on the 18th century set true story of The cock Lane Ghost.

Experimenting with depicting various rooms of, and scenes happening simultaneously in, the same house.

Draft of 'The Cock Lane Ghost' Part 1

This image is for a story called 'The Cock Lane Ghost'.

Its quite a complex story of the supernatural, fraud and 18th century London Life.

The decoration in this image is inspired by a decorative piece of early 18th century wood carving.

Some more work for walk

Continuation Of Research For Walk

After researching various historical events and fictional stories that occurred in Holborn I decided to map the locations of these tales. Many of the buildings that these stories took place in are gone so just to see where they happened is useful.

The map is from a 1930's London Guide book published by Ward Lock and Co.

Walk, preliminary research

This project is about taking one area of central London and through independent personal research trying to develop a slant on an area. I have chosen Holborn as its a place that feels quite modern especially as most of it was carved up to make the one of the longest straight roads in London, Kingsway. The truth is very different and I've started by making a model of one of the oldest surviving buildings from 1557.

Finished page of 'The Old House In Vauxhall Walk'

Have been meaning to Illustrate this interesting little Victorian ghost story for a while.

The story concerns a young man who falls on bad times and is offered shelter in dilapidated townhouse with a disturbing history.

Really relishing not having to do structured Uni Projects,

hopefully ill have time to finish illustrating the whole thing.

Double Page spreads for 'Charley May'

'Unknown London'

This is a submission for adult Jigsaw company Wentworth. the brief was 'Unknown London'.

The scene shows a typically busy London street in South London

Homegrown Shop Event

On Sunday the 12th of June myself and 6 other illustration students put on a one day (pop up) shop. The store was called 'Homegrown' and was situated just one minute from busy thoroughfare Brick Lane.

The theme of the store was markets, and each of us made handmade products inspired by products you might find in a food market stall. We made two wooden market stalls to sit in the shop to enhance this effect.

The weather wasn't on our side and we battled with torrents of rain all day.

Luckily the shop space we used had two floors so we were able to set up a cafe downstairs (selling cakes we made ourselves) for people to shelter from the rain.

On the whole the day was a brilliant success and we made £420.

Here are some photographs of Sunday taken by Andrew Jones .

Screen printed Bag I made for the Shop

This is a bag i made with material I'd screen printed onto.

Pegs for our shop

Summer's lease has all too short a date.

View from my flat, apparently we're in for a heatwave this weekend.

Screencaps from Make Up

This is a short film I've made as a teaser for the film i want to make next year.

It will be about an actress and the mythology surrounding famous screen sirens. Hoping to incorporate animation and puppetry into the final film.

Having troubles uploading it onto the internet so for now heres some of the best shots

Mural In Camberwell College of Art

This is a mural i painted in the student bar area at Camberwell that Rosanna Morris and co have rejuvenated in the past term. This mural is of the outside of the nicest building of the uni.

Macmillan Children's Book finished Page

This is the visual direction i've decided to go with. The story i'm illustrating is a bit of a mystery so i'm making quite moody background for the settings. This one of St Pancras station was done in oils with the figures made from plasticine.
