Almost finished this one, one more doggy to go! Taken me quite a while

Finished portrait, took approx 17 hours

Final outcome of the second papercut design: I think this is my favourite out of the two, because there is a lot of detail and the shadows on the first image look really effective, but even with the plain block colour background I really like it.

These are designs for another papercut, I really like all the detail on this and how I have included literal suggestions of love in the piece, but hidden them in the pattern.

Final Outcome of the Papercut: I like the different combination of the twopaper craft techiques I've used, but I think I could have pushed the folding one further to add more detail.

Design for a papercut: Using the word "Always", I wanted to portray the idea of love and in this design I have decided to use it more literally rather than subtly and I wanted to create some small, intricate details.

More Development For Final Piece: This time I have used photos of me and my mum to experiment with, transferring my mum's wrinkles onto me.

Development for my final project in ABC: Experimenting with combining images using Photoshop to make people older, in this case I have used a picture of my little brother and his Dad, and used the wrinkles from his dad and applied them to my brother to make him look older.

Commission for a friend for her bosses wedding present, it's their children :) Really enjoyed doing this, the photos was very clear so i could get really clear definitive lines. Used charcoal pencil, and 6B-4H.

Frank the Rabbit Commisson; This was for a friend, it took approx. 8 hours really like the style of detail and shading and the overall outcome. I used H Pencil, black biro and fine liner.

http://weedfairy.deviantart.com/ (source) - I really like this piece, I just like the whole idea of it and I'm a real fan of tacky, girly, decorated things like this. This has inspired me to do something in the style of this, and I was thinking along the lines of decorating shoes; which I could also take further and develop more ideas.

This is an experiment exploring film; I really like this technique and the variety of ways you could explore it. Here is just a quick example, as we didn't have a lot of time.

Jason Mercier - This is a collage artist, who uses unusual materials to create his pieces. I really like these few I've selected, because the materials work so well and relate to the image he has created.
