So I have this illustration blog, partly to help with my studies but also to help gather my thoughts and arrange them out in a way that makes logical sense. I thought I'd carry it over to bluelight, since some of you may take an interest in the sort of stuff I do and the different influences that inspire and motivate me. I've long since learnt that bluelight isn't just good for drugs. This forum has educated me in all manner of ways, and has broadened my fundamental understanding of the world, and of the people living within it. As a way of giving something back to bluelight, here is my small contribution:
(6/10/11) For now I’ll have to make do with typing to myself like a madman and leaving an illustration I made of one of my favourite men. As a side note, today I spent two and a half hours in a lift drawing the buttons as people crammed in and out, sharing snippets of conversation about LSD and phonetics. I love arty students. Perhaps one day I’ll stand in a lift and take notes of every conversation I hear, and publish them on a blog for budding eavesdroppers to devour.
(10/10/11) Here is an animation I created last year during my art foundation. Intended to be an imitation of a psychedelic trip, each frame was created on Photoshop and then animated on Final Cut. The entire project was very time consuming, and the quality of drawing reflects the size of the workload involved. I passed the animation module of the course with it though, thank god.
The Trip Project
Transforming a block of resin into a turtle. Actually didn’t take that long, only an hour or so of drawing. 18 frames total.
Resin Into Turtle
Amazing animation of an interview with John Lennon. The way in which the graphics morph and twist perfectly capture the meandering imagination of Lennon’s message, creating something that is simultaneously nonsensical and understandable. Insane, yet rational, whilst all the time beautifully flowing. Just brilliant on every level.
I Met The Walrus
(11/10/11) Observational drawing of a skeleton at the British Museum. Fine pen on cartridge paper.
(12/10/11) "Blood, Sweat and Tears"
(17/10/11) "The Hospital"
