Initial Hobbs Work/Ideas

20 or so students on my course have been asked to come up with some ideas for Illustration for a new Spitalfields branch of the Clothing store, Hobbs. My Concept is about looking at the architecture of Hampstead where Hobbs first began and creating work informed by the brand's connection with the atmosphere and connection to Hampstead. Below are some early fashion illustration sketches. Im quite interested in creating work inspired by images of girls on summer rooftops and balconies.

WIP Stop Motion Puppet

Have been sewing the stop motion puppet for the animation I want to make. Started with a wire armature (skeleton) of the body made of twisted wire. I've then stitched felt over the wire to create the body. Its stuffed with cotton stuffing from a cushion. Right now the stitching has quite a beautiful quality in its rough state so thought this would be a good opportunity to photograph it.

Assessment.

Finally handed in all the work I've been doing this term. Quite a relief and now for the next hurdle
