The making of:

Lou Roll and The Tubes

In my unit assessment last week, I spoke with David Callow about ways to work with/ photograph bland objects like toilet roll tubes to make them look spectacular, and more valuable. Today I came across these characters by Itchy Animation. In my opinion, they're a little bit epic!

 

   

Roald Dahl and the Royal Mail

As a child I grew up reading Roald Dahl, and now as an illustrator, i've come to love Quentin Blake just as equally. Not just for his illustrations for putting faces to such well-known characters, but also for the way he has changed the way that people look at illustration.

This is a selection of stamps featuring his work from the BFG, commissioned by the Royal Mail to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the book! 

I met the Walrus

One of my favourites, beautiful hand-drawn typography and imagery, really nice flow!

ToOoo long.

it's been a long time I know... far too long.. I am very sorry! Nonetheless (fun three-words-in-one-actual-wordness!!) 


I am here now.....KABOOOOOOOOOM!


ha! well... news for today: 


1)a nice lady bought my mum a book called "You Are Special" by Nancy Goudie and it's FULL of pretty, continuous line-drawings by Charlotte Cooke. Check out her website via the link :o)


2) Charlotte Cooke has contributed to an AMAZING project called "They Draw and Cook" (good food + great illustration = WOOHOO!)
Check them out here:

         

(p.s. they also have great type in their logo :P)

3) I stumbled (literally, thank you StumbleUpon!) across the most incredible short film. It's called The Butterfly Circus but more on that later. If you have a spare half hour -no matter what mood you're in- follow the link and WATCH IT. :o)

Be blessed. x

Toms

I love Toms Shoes. Not only are they beautiful and comfy, but Toms have a One-For-One policy, where for every pair sold, they give a second pair to a child in a third world country. I think this is AMAZING, and everyone should buy Toms! Toms also take inspiration from everyday inspiring people, like the quote above from a teacher. This is great, and the normal, down-to-earthness of this is something that I want my work to have.
