So little done, so much to do

These are a series of images i created to help advertise a new app - Kolaybook. I was given a folder with a series of headings and was asked to create a storyboard for each sheet. 

These are some work in progress pieces for my final major project looking at Lemony Snicket’s A series of Unfortunate Events.I am creating a series of book covers for the project.

Every once in a while, my manager at Waitrose asks me to create some artwork to be displayed in the corridors at work. These are mainly promotional or inspirational images to help motivate the staff. Sometimes certain members can feel a bit un-motivated to work so to have some art to look at to help them believe in themselves can help. I was given an A5 image that my boss wanted to paint on the walls leading up to the staff room. I wasn’t sure as to how long this would take me as I had never worked this large before, but I was up for a challenge. It was done using black paint and took a total of 4 hours to complete. Even after finishing it, it does feel a bit strange to walk past it every time I work so see my artwork that big. 

Artwork inspired by L.Frank Baum’s ‘The Wizard of Oz’. images created using collage and photoshop.

To continue my love of buildings, I decided to paint an image of an old gatehouse in beaulieu. The one struggle I found with this was the horse, as I haven’t really painted horses before, it provided a challenge for me to overcome. i am happy with how the building came out but the horse not so much.

As a child, I loved reading the Harry Potter books. This idea of somewhere magical just captivated me, so when the films came out I was in awe of how they transferred this from page to screen. In March of this year, i had the chance to visit the Harry Potter studio tour and obviously took this chance. The sets were incredible and so detailed but the one that I loved the most, was the Hogwarts scale model which they used for aerial shots of the castle. This inspired me to create another paper cut, and see how far my talents could be pushed. I am very happy with how they have turned out.

After visiting Mottisfont Abbey with uni, it inspired me to create a paper cut of the building. I hadn’t done buildings before so i knew that it would be a challenge. The most difficult bit, was to see how i would create the windows and how they would attach to the building.

Final images. The story is based on a robot called Rob. Its a story of finding your place in the world and realizing who you are.
