you know what they say, once you kill a cow

I thought i had already put this up but parently not! Finished a while ago, its the first zine i've ever done.  It's just a narrative and the shots from Lady Gaga video 'telephone' because i do love the cinematography and fun outfits. It makes for an easy and fun project. I wanted it really low-fi, just double-sided photocopies

Va va voom- Paris 2011

Jolie le taxi- Sketchbook cover- it took me so long to remember

I dont usually draw buildings but quite like this one- it was next to moulin rouge and above the shop was the outside wall of the building with nothing behind!

An artist in the square at montmarte :)

French Pigeon
I'm always drawing pigeons in London too, this is one of my favs- with its shape and character. Usually they're hard to draw cos they are constantly moving

I was loving all the hats and long coats the guys wore in France. This guy wasn't quite so squat and disproportionate in real life!

JE'TAIME- i got these leopard print bad boys in the HnM

This is my friend with her awesome polar bear hat- i was always trying to draw and capture her but never quite got it. Here she looks about 6.
I did about a sketchbook and a half of drawings, took a while to warm-up because i was quite lazy and apathetic over christmas with drawing. There's loads more but these are the ones i like more (at the moment!)

i miss the 1900s!!!!!!

Some letterpress work, type over magazine images/collages. 'I ate civilisation' said by the Savage in Brave New World.

frankly my dear .....i dont give a damn!

Letterpress on a page of my old calendar , nice retro 1950s dancing image.  Cant find the final one of it i used, where i tweaked colour slightly to suit rest of images for concertina book on soma (drug from brave new world, gorvernment use it to pacify the masses and keep them docile and distracted)

From Gone with the wind, playing with the infamous line from the film  and 'a gramme is better than a damn' quote from brave new world . My teachers didnt get it

O micky ur so fine!!!!!!!!

McDonalds golden arches used for soMa.

Christainity is mentioned a lot in BNW  'Christainity without tears, that's what soma is'. This is  in reference to it and the quote 'religion is the opiate of the masses'.

A Handmaid's Tail

whoooo havent updated in a while, 2011 happened!this is some of the final images i used for my project on dystopias. I made concertina book on a handmaids tale/womens role using quotes and repitition of hands and eyes and the icon of a red hood, which covered/half covered the womens faces to represent loss of identity.

'Being seen as a sex object is so incredibly dull' Scarlet Johanson being.......sexy!crazytimes, she was reference for lenina crown from Brave New World.

Offred thinks about ghds teehee

'A distorted shadow, a parody of something, some fairytale figure in a red cloak'

Lil quote in the background of a drawing of a Handmaid. I used ink and colour pencils. Did it on marc jacobs advert. I like

'I have viable ovaries....i have one more chance' omnious quote i left my book on

Lara stone again, from sexual advert for calvin klein jeans.  Hands grabbing

Lady gaga!
