uhm, more! - yes more work ^^


this is a small piece i did a while ago for acrylic paint workshop

the maiko is only about 1" high on the actual painting, detail here

here the only digital piece ive done in colour; was for conceptual studies last month; the brief was to have a city gentleman in a bowler hat with a open umbrella
it was only a one day project, so i did this overnight, hence it being a bit crap

larger version here i got lazy, the sea is just a photo put thru a few filters but other than that its all hand drawn with my pretty pretty wacom ^^
i like the man with the unbrella oout all the one u posted keep up the good work

ok so i seem to have lost the files for what i *was* going to post; so I'll Post this instead...

this is work from last term; Book jacket design; I chose to do Haruki Murakami's The Wind Up Bird Chronicle
I chose to do the Cover in Japanese foramt, the text is directly translated, so i know it probably doesnt make sence, but this was an exercise in design and layout more than anthing, so i'm not so bothered

the front Cover:


the actual image...
(larger copy here)

with the cover i wanted to illustrate some of the main factors withing the novel; the wind up bird itsself is always hidden; never seen so as an analouge for this i used the statue in the abondoned house's garden; another is the main character (Toru Okada)'s affinity with going down the well in said abandoned house's garden... i tried to bring the two images together. the fact the grass line makes a cross ist intended and not supposed to be symbolic of anything...

hope that makes the image a lil more clear...

we also had to produce two inside Illustrations, but as teh novel is split into three 'books' i did three:


I chose to use the cat, Noboru Wataya (later renamed Marcrel) to illustrate the different sections of the book; the first with the cat leaving, symbolising Toru's fall into the obscure, the second with the cat walking, symbolising Toru's search and the Last, with the cat returning, symbolising the conclusion to the many stories and threads within the book.

hope ya like 'em
if anyones read the book - please do comment to tell me what you think of my interpretation

oh yea; the Cover illustration was done entirely in photoshop over about 5 days; the cat illustrations in pen and ink on cratridge paper; about 30mins to each pic
the cat walking away is my fave ^^
