Pablo the business card/concertina holder!

So it's my Masters degree bash this evening at the Canal Museum in Kings Cross. Hopefully Pablo will do his job without getting too merry on all the free wine.

A lovely post of my book by rudzki.wordpress.com!

Please follow the link above, here's some pictures from his wonderful post!

Pages from my final project

Here's some pages from my book I wrote and illustrated for my final project 'The One and Only Pablo'. Obviously, they still need developing as I did a whole book in 3 months (!!!) I'll try and sum up the tale briefly...
 Pablo has a love of hats, he's just bought a new one and when he gets home sees a flyer for the circus that evening, so he decides to go so he can show off his new hat.
 He gets mistaken for one of the clowns and gets marched off to go on in the show! He tries to explain the mistake to Chico the dog but ends up performing so badly it makes everyone laugh.
 The Trapeze family begin their act but Baby Trapeze's act goes wrong, and so Pablo rushes forward to save him from falling. Chico tries to hold Pablo back but his hat pops off to reveal Pablo is really a unicorn!! Pablo shoots a magic force field from his horn and catches Baby. Chico finds out why Pablo has been hiding his identity and makes Pablo see that it's nothing to hide being different and he ends up joining the circus and lives happily hat free ever after.

                                  

An almost real life Pablo!

Not content with finishing my visual summary two days before hand in, I decided I might as well make a sewn Pablo. Here he is with his mane half finished and I need to either sew or paint his face and his dappled legs as well as make a lovely pom pom red hat. He's going to look very pretty as he's doing that thing when horses go on the bit!

My final project outcome! Ta da!

Long overdue post!

I've been in the thick of finishing my masters, but here's something that's pretty much finished, the covers!

Here's my best chum Gav and his printing partner in crime Mika on Style Bubble no less!!

So chuffed.

Final page...

I'm sure there'll be a million things wrong with it, but deadlines drawing VERY CLOSE for my final major... *UGH! Like Ringmasters epaulettes! //sakes!*

Handmade wedding card

Knocked this up this afternoon for Pedro's cousins wedding Friday :o)

A possible finished final page?!

Need to work up the poster, but could work...

Coloured up sketches

Need to remember its about my line for my final imagery!...

London Olympics

We rocked.

My first attempt at bunting!

It's for Pedro's cousin's wedding a week Friday. Not the best colour scheme, but used up my scraps :o)

Horse sketching for George...

...so he looks slightly more like a horse than a moomin.

Weekend in Elan Valley

We camped up near Aberystwyth after driving through the damns at Elan Valley. Picked the most perfect weekend for it! 

First final image!

I'm sure it'll probably get changed again before the end though, but at least I've one down.

some circus sketches altogether!

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES!! It's tomorrow!! *so excited!*

latest rough...

Going to finalize this rough layout as IT'S WORKING A TREAT!

Bat love.

Just been to see a back to back Batman at the Curzon in Wimbledon. Far too giddy about friday... THIS WEEK NEEDS TO HURRY UP!

Working on George...

As he's a grey, I'm seeing what he'd look like dappled.....Doesn't look like George is so sure!

Beginnings of something new...

Rough sketch... as I've had enough of the circus for now.

Feel I might be getting somewhere..

...but I've felt like these 3 all week. *huff!*

.

choosing colour still....

Still fannying about with colour *sigh* I'm starting to think I maybe colour blind, I'm finding it so tricky!

still trying things out...

Thought I'd throw this up so I can look back and track my progress. This is super rough, but trying just coloured lines....

final image mock up...(work in progress!)

Kinda thinking the pages will look something like this maybe?...

Thinking of where George would live!....

Just drawing up various locations. Need to think what the town and the circus would look like now....

Half way/beginning point on the town.... (based on Church Street in Hereford!)

Version 2.12. "George Likes Hats"

An evening at Wimbledon.

Only queued for less than 30 mins, saw a womens single I forget at court 18 and then Jamie Lee Hampton against Daniela Hutchova in court 3. That was a good game, but now the young Hampton faces the british Heather Watson next!

Cycled up which was a good idea, so quick to get up to the tennis and home again, just in time to watch the sky go pink.
