Course Bits

Here are a couple of pieces I did during my time completing a 2 year illustration course a few years back:

'Australian Identity'

'Australian Identity' is an acrylic painting that along with 'Wind' and a handful of my other pieces featured as part of a group exhibition called Illustré. In the bottom 1/3 of the background I applied paint thickly enough so that it took a while to dry and also enabled me to blend chunks of colour in a somewhat fluid manner.

'Comedypic'

'Comedypic' is a rare example of my digital art (rare because I don't have the software). First a line drawing, scanned, built up in Illustrator and then finishing touches in Photoshop. It was made to a brief about a comedy festival. Digital art is a tool I still haven't thoroughly investigated and while I don't know if it could replace traditional methods for me I still plan to explore its potential. I just wish I had bought the software when I was a student and could buy it for about a quarter of the price. I think it's easier to take risks in a picture while having the safety net of an undo button.

'Wind'

'Wind' is a small acrylic painting, I think about half of an A4. A self promotional piece simply about the word 'wind' (obviously not a breeze but more of a wind up).  

I have a few other pictures from my course which I may post in the future but thats it for the moment.
