Goodbye England, hello Bulgaria!

So this will have to be a quick post, but I'm working on some cool art whilst here in Bulgaria! Check back in September for some real good sketchbook drawings! Here's a quick sneak peak at some of the kind of things I'm doing...

Emotional Update

Doesn't it look good all set out neat? I love it. I'm proud of myself for creating this work & for coming so far in the 3 years i've been here. I'm really going to miss my times here and all the lovely people. A big thank you to my tutors Gary, Ian, Jo & also Rick for helping me out with lots of last minute things and guiding me for the years i've been here. Thank you to my classmates for being really awesome people & amazing illustrators, you made my time here really enjoyable! Thank you to Kieran for helping me with screen printing & teaching me loads of new ways to have fun with my work. Thank you also to Jane with my critical work in the previous years too! And a big thank you to everyone else!

Creation Animation!

TODAY! I finally made my animation. I wish i would have started earlier, it could have been better, but with everything that went wrong it was hard! Anyway, the whole story of my animation is that there is this person (which is you!) and you are a beautiful unique individual, and you are so powerful and confident that the wildlife around you creeps up to you and blossoms when it reaches your body, because you are beautiful. Take a look! :)  

The video is showing you how you could be if you believed in yourself, it's part of the campaign.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the animation on here right now, so some screenshots will   to do until i figure out whats going wrong!

The sound track I have chosen is the beginning of Karsk Kale's 'Milan'. It is serene and eastern, perfect for creating the perfect atmosphere for my animation.

Final Major Update

The last week I have fallen sick and not been able to get much done, so after many horrible tasting pills to make me feel better (Yes, the ones the doctor prescribed!) I feel a bit more energetic and able to get some stuff done. I've finished mostly everything, I've yet to print out my Zine, poster & business cards, and some of my creations over the past week. I really wanted to have this done in reality but right now it really can't be done.

Mug Designs

I want this mug in real life.

And my T-shirt designs 

The T-shirts are going to be tie-dyed in blue.

I have also got down to making some versatile greetings cards. These products will be used to help fund the arty campaign & ways that the audience can show everyone that they are an 'Arturselfer'.

And these have been actually made, not mocked up!

I plan to have the mock-ups of this ready for the show.

Turner's Gallery!

This week Turner's has opened their gallery to show off all the 7x5 submissions! I unfortunately have to take mine down because i need it to hand in for my Final Major Project, but it did go in their gallery for about a week! Having seen everyone else's canvases I feel like we all thought out of the box, there were so many different styles and ideas and they were all equally eye catching. It felt like stepping into a gallery where snippets of art from each time period were taken and put onto the canvases. It was very nice to see that people from the community had come together to make such a lovely exhibition for a good cause! So well done to everyone!

There's mine!
