Ink and Paper!

Hello,

Life is somewhat calming and getting back to normal this week. We finally have sorted out internet for our house after over a month of sitting in coffee shops and pubs with my mac. So i'm back on the web properly now!
The last few days i've been working on my submission for the new Ink and Paper. It's coming along well i think. I'm excited to see it in november! Here is a sneak preview of one of the 4 pages to my piece. It's about different people's perception on situations. Based on a short looping story plan i storyboarded roughly last year. I have yet had the chance to do something with it, so it's nice to finally have a place for it.

Below is a flyer for the exhibition in Israel that my piece 'Hidden' is in. It's starting in September! It's really exciting to see the flyers, it's a shame i won't be able to see the actual show.

The flyers are all in hebrew apart from our names, who are me, Catell Ronca and Agata Duda which i find quite amusing.

The image to the right is from 4AM. I have to get a move on with it's completion! I need to get it printed in time for the end of October. When i will be launching it at MCM EXPO in london with any luck! 

So just a short update!

Have a good week guys,

Busy Busy.

Hey!
Just a quick post as an update.
So 4AM pages are rolling on in between commissions and such like. It's hard to find time to do everything! (The above image is another finished spread for it...spoilers?!)

I posted my previously mentioned painting 'Hidden' off all nicely framed to Israel on tuesday. It was exciting and scary. I've never sent something so far away before.


Look how far it's going! Google maps makes the world seem so vast yet  so small at the same time...

In case anyone wanted to know, i have a short paragraph explaining the piece. Which is something i never normally get to do. My brilliant friend helped me write it (she's amazing at getting the point across with words...i'm too stuck into my visual language i think!)

'Every person has an appearance they assume and an identity they keep secret, like bright birds fighting to escape. The girl is moving into a world where she isn’t sure who she is, or how she ought to behave. She doesn’t know how big the difference is between how her true self acts and how she is expected to behave in terms of her place in society and thus don a facade.

Inspired by the conflict between how we see ourselves and the demands of society. An idea personal to me especially at this time as i graduate from university and move into the working world.'

In other news!

I will be in Shoreditch, London this coming sunday selling my art stuffs on Pittville Press's Stand at ELCAF.

It's hosted by NoBrow, it's the first ever one and i'm really looking forward to it! It sounds like it's going to be amazing. If you can, do come along and enjoy it with me.

Anyway, that's all folks! Have a good rest of the week and thanks for reading!

June is Here!

So the month of june is here. Its the month where i want to get my comic, 4AM finished and printed...maybe. Which is scary since a few weeks ago i did a revised version of the pages left to do and a proper count up of the book and it came to exactly 100 pages. Which would be neat if it wasn't so daunting! It's 50 double spreads including all the end papers and title pages. I have been saying 40 all this time!
But it's going...okay....just can't wait for it to be done. Will be such an achievement!





Anyway, last week saw the final year show at my uni. The private view was on the friday and it was a really great night! I took some pictures during the week of the illustration exhibition. I think it looks really good considering it's our first year in this space. Our tutors worked really hard to get what is actually our desk covered studio space looking like this. I painted some of the boards and helped hang some things! but yeah...
The picture on the left below is my space :)

At the moment i'm looking into printing and framing for the painting below. It's for an exhibition happening in Israel (yeah exciting!) that me, 2 other students and my tutor (who got us into it) are taking part in with the theme 'Regular'. I'll write a bit more about it next time, but this is my entry entitled 'Hidden'.

June is also the month in which at the end of it i have to be out of my uni house. I'm going to miss 71, it's been a mad adventure with some classic moments :) This is a picture of our coffee table that i had to take. The sight made me laugh a lot as i was greeted by it in the morning. I think it sums our house up quite well...

Lots of doodling of characters has taken place lately. I want to tell more stories with them.

 I also saw the new Wes Anderson film, Moonrise Kingdom on wednesday. I really enjoyed it and want to see it again! So pretty and lovely. I love his characters.

Both my laptop and external monitor have pictures i took of the sky at the moment. It makes me happy. I love clouds.

 Thanks for reading! Have a Great bank holiday weekend britain, and an equally great weekend everywhere else :)
