MY LONDON MAP

As a part of the London book project I've created my personal London map.
It's got a lot of detail so make a cuppa, you'll be here for a while ; )
I've really enjoyed the journey, hope you do to.

COLLAGE: MODS VS ROCKERS

This is a collage I've just created and I plan to screen print it when I get back to uni. It's gonna be red, blue and b/w. It is the 2nd one in the Mod series, portraying the on going clashes between Mods and Rockers. Can't wait.

Oschon Wespi-Tschopp: Breton Brut

I like it. It's got something that's been forgotten in time, a bit dreamy, retro with nice colours. You can check the artists blog for more cool stuff.


























It might have something to do with my affinity to starry skies and colour halftones, as I also
like Midnight Juggernauts" Dystopia album art designed by Small Studio.

SKETCHBOOK

DeAR Whoever you are,

It's summer time! Uni's closed for the season so I'm left to do whatever I will.
The only thing I really miss is the printing studio : (
But nowadays, I love goin out in the sun, sitting in a park or a cafe and just doodling away. It's sooooo relaxing, very meditation like.
Here's some stuff from my sketchbook, one's not finished yet. Taking it e-z....

MOD SCREEN PRINTS READY!!





























You remember when I said I'm gonna screen print Mod poster (the collage I've created in Photoshop)? This is it! It was a bit of a process as I had to print 4 layers but next time I'll do it much faster. Things I need to be aware of the next time:
- get the first layer straight ( I just did a random print without any pre-consideration)
- use bigger/straight acetate
- make a decision where exactly layers fit on the image
- be less messy

Besides the above mentioned, I am super pleased with the outcome as it looks exactly (well, better) that the one I have generated in Photoshop.
More to come!

WEST VS EAST LONDON














Double exposures representing the differences between wealthy West and poorer East London.
(West - Old Bond Street/ East- Kingsland Road, Bricklane)


JELLY BABIES INVASION






London can be amazing but so bloody stressful and hectic as well. This is why I set this project - to bring a smile on your face and/ or to fill your mind with positive messages. Simple as that.
I have done round 1, Shoreditch area. Coming to Bricklane and other areas in the East.
Why Jelly Babies? Because they are cult British jellys and because they were first called Peace Babies (to announce the end of World War One).
