Terraces.

Following on from my Bright Starfish post, here is an illustration I made, also based on Bright Star.
It is based on the idea that they shared the same house and uses the motif of the butterfly to signify Keats's passing. More symbolism exists but that is for you to find.

Bright Starfish.

I have been working on an artwork based around the pun of 'Fanny Prawne' being in Bright Starfish. The images are my own but drawn from images within Jane Campion's Bright Star.

First, are some images I drew as preparation, most are drawn directly from the movie.











Secondly, Fanny Prawne (a rough version in paper and then a digital illustration) and John Dory Keats.






Finally, Bright Starfish.

Guitar pattern.

A recent pattern I made after seeing someone's top on a bus. I thought it was a guitar pattern, realised it wasn't and so decided to make my own.

Group tartan and six details.

I've become a little tartan obsessed. The first is all put together and then there are six detail tartans.

Spaces.

Some recent experimentations, made after seeing the amazing work of Paul Topolos - although these are only scribbles compared to his breathtakingly amazing matte drawings.

After Matisse.

When still at school I was 'introduced', as such, to the art of Matisse. I became particularly infatuated by his later works, especially his paper cut outs. 
Inspired by his work, I created some floral-based images.
