Photography

Here are some more photos of animls I have used... I used a combination of these and photos of drunk people to create my drawings and prints

Colour (I know shocking)

So as you can tell already I love just black and white and while it works for me I decided to experiment with colour to help create layered prints make them more busy rather than just plain black and white

So it may have started kind of subtle but more colour did happen

Finding use for digital

This is just a test of what I would like to do with my digital work either through chine cole or printing woodblack on top of a digital print

Getting the hang of it

So after 3 plates I think the most succesful was the one of the bear I think in the others I left too much white and didn't apply aquatint to the background.

Digital

So digital work would not be my strong point mostly because I see nothing wrong with just a pencil.
For this digital print I wanted to combine the natural and unatural behaviour I am focusing on by using an unatural object such as a syringe and making them look like leaves.

Start of etchings

As my project is mainly drawing based I want to have  series of etchings done and apply aquatint

Just a monkey doing heroin you know the usual

For this woodcut I decided to keep the animals fully as animals and apply the bad habits of humans to them using the poses they were already in the find similar poses accosiated with bad human traits.
