Pieces Done Recently- January 2013 onwards

I thought I get around to sharing some of the other pieces I have worked on during this year. The above image was based on a exercise, in which I felt the object, but didn't see what the object was. My guess was correct, but I was able to illustrate the description of these cookie cutters in a conceptual way.

These images were done off-the-cuff back in January, based on a negative experience of packing for a popular toy company that have a local warehouse. I written a piece about the experience which uses the notion that I was 'orchestrated by red-tape'. So I guess it was natural to revisit this striking imagery of myself, as a puppet, with red tape as my strings. I loved how it came out.

 

I loved how this image came out during an exercise done this month. Think Akira Kurosawa (Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Rashamon) meets Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab), as I created this samurai illustration.

Loomis' Fun with A Pencil Studies- Doohinkus Manikin and Action Figure Studies- Last Week's Batch

Same drill as before from last week's epic entry, but this time the drawings and photographs were done during last week.

Loomis' Fun with A Pencil Studies- Doohinkus Manikin and Action Figure Studies

Just to explain why there are photographs, drawings that look like, and do not look like, the figures in these photographs, I am currently at the chapter in the book, which encourages me to learn from a movable figure. Hence, why there are shots of an Action Man figure in those positions, and a live drawing of that figure, to understand this position the other manikin- the one with the moustache and markings on their torso and hips- has been placed. All of these drawing were done between December 2011,up to the present day, being January 2012, and I was encourage to start posting again on a Facebook group that encourages you to draw something everyday. So this post will keep me up to date with that for now.

Snow in January 2010

No we are onto last year, back in January, and some of these shots were re-creating, unconsciously, some of the shots I took several years ago.  Having some new items out there, like the garden tables, made it a bit more photogenic for the shots in the garden.
