Drunken Animals

Ok so decided to do a second photo litho this time using ink instead of pen just to try something different need looser lines I think. The results worked well and yes they have no heads yet but thats another reason I made them loose my drawings will be added to the prints and as my ususal style is so tight I said I would make the prints loose for a contarst. Oh yes and these are drawings of my drunken friends.

Photography (Animals acting like animals)
















These are some of the photos I have taken from Dublin Zoo sadly I don't have access to wild animals in their own environment so this was the closet I could get. It was very helpful to just observe them and get images that work well on their own and that will later be used for drawing purposes and digital work.

Pigs in Pubs



So self initiated project finally gettin off to a start. As usual I end up back with animals but really do find it a great way to show human behaviour well rather the sides of it that have flaws. This work is based on words that have been used towards me in the pub. I'm not exactly sayin the men are pigs but rather that their dress would appear to fool you they dress well suits ties hats and yet when they enter the pub their behaviour changes and is somwhat rude. I am basically saying they are civilised pigs. The text willl leater be added to this work. Text like... "Monalisa, Monalisa, with lovely lips".

Drawing Project




For the drawing project the alive artist I chose to look at was Micheal Craig Martin as I never use colour so saw this as a challange.. The dead artist I chose was Piccasso I used one of his early sketches as it was very loose again very different from my style. I decided when continueing this project forward the loose ink drawings were best to do as each one seems to come out different yet improves each time.. What was also good about this was I was able to give myself one person to draw everyday and keep a sketchbook of all these.
