Shadow man

This morning began witha couple of warm up sketches. one being a scene fromthe filme The Dark Knight and it being the joker.....who would have guessed?
and the second is from the film munich. and amazing film.
the purpose of the joker one is i'm practicing drawing this joker for a short comic strip i want to draw revolving around him. and the muich sketch was because of its strong shadow. i like drawing highy shadowy scenes as it gives an amazing and dramaic look and i just genrally like it.

Its been a While

Wow its been a good while since i last posted. in the time since my last post a lot has happened.
finished my Assement for my 2nd year at Fine art. and i have my tutorial feedback for that on friday. i think i pulled off some fair decent stuff for that. typicaly i managed to find a comfortable area to work in just as the year closes up but i supose the anser to that is to keep at it in my own time.
also lately ive just been given a new storyboard job from Bernhard. i had a meeting with him on friday morning where we threw some ideas around and brain stormed. he has an amazing wonderous mind haha. constantly full of beans!
also whilst i was at his studios he showed me the rough cut of Human Assembly. its looking nice. i cant wait to see the final film. very proud!
also startied thinking and doodleing work for an exhibition thats been brainstormed by some of my fellow art students. its an amzing idea cooked up by my housemate dom and my friend Laura, (Note* ive just linked laura's own work page in the top right) were going to ut on an exhibition sometime next year that runs around the theme of robots. anything goes really but it has to relate to robots in some form. hopefully were going to involve some of our friends from special FX and applied arts. some good ideas being kicked around. cant wait to see how this turns out.
And also my mind has been wondering into the realms of my future.....dun dun dunnnn!
i'm thinking of starting to work on my comic drawings and try and pull togethre a portfolio of work taht i'll work on from now on till the end of nexty year and then send off to companys to try and get something through there. fingers crossed. it is a long shot i guess but its worth a try and i've always wanted to give it a go.
anyway meanwhile i'll leave you with some pics of my final show for this year. enjoy!

Human Assembly

finally Bernhard pucher's film Human Assembly has just announced that they've made a wrap of the filiming and its now gone into post production for editing and all the things that entail in that stage.
he recently posted up videos and photos of the set designers working on the main body of the set. from what you can see i think it looks amazing. very retro sci fi!
i cant wait to see the final film i'm very proud to have been part of it.

Ugly Skull

working like a well oil steam boat at the moment. ive been working on three paintings plus managed to finish a portrait last week and had then topped it of with a positive group crit of said piece so its been going well.
the portrait i started id been fighting with for sometime. id worked on it against my will last week just to try and make something out of it and see where it would take itself. then came around my group crit in uni so i took it along feeling it was half finished. half expecting abit of a down grade from fellow students on handing in something half done and fairly differnt from my usual work. they gave me really positive stuff and told me to leave it be.
so happy with the style and path i was going down ive tried out a few more works like it and one of them has even amanged to make its way onto the masive canvass ive had dooming over me in the studio. so far its going well!. have to say thanks to my housemate Dom for talking and bigging up me get started on the big piece!anyway heres the finished portrati and the two i'm working on right now.

Exhibition

Just got back from our opening night of our charity Exhibition held at our university. its pulled togtehre really nicely. mainly put together by us students. it has such a mix of diffenet personalities and feelings displayed in it. theres definatly alot of talent in our year i think. i managed to get two out of the three paintings id planned for the exhibition done in time. but thats no problem the two i put up where good enough for me. i havnt displayed my work in an exhibition sort of fashion in over a year so it was quite fun to do it again and this stime more involved in doing the outcome. id love to hold more. if anyone of you hang around the hatfiled areas or general london and fancy a free look at our work be sure to check it out this following week and weekend all the work is on sale if we can tempt you!

view of it all

heres a quick thing i did in abit of a break from painting. just a quick multi angled idea of my home workspace.
messy i know bit its organised chaos...........

Stream
