Having done more research into what I'd like to do for my final project I've narrowed down on 3 things I'f like to do.....
Summer Show Poster - Mad Hatters Tea Party Theme
I think this is a really great project to work on, as the deadline is coming up quite fast, meaning I can put my attention to my other projects later on in the month, this will work out on my timetable quite well. My design will incorporate the mad hatters tea party theme with influences from alice in wonderland e.g. playing cards, pocketwatch etc.
Make & Sell - i enjoyed this from my last project I really love doing indy practices, so in some ways is a continuation from this but homing in the theme more. I will still be looking at tattoo designs, but I want to develop the theme more centered around 'The Hare'. I created a tattoo design called 'The Hare and the Eye of Providence' I think it was one of my more stronger outcomes, and need to develop it more, I'd ideally like to print designs on tees, large prints and other media, but using phillip harris as an inlfuence I'd like to limit my colour pallete or just do 'greyscale' imagery. (or black printing ink)
Mini Comic - Unsure as to whether I'll do 1/2 comics, but I have two themes either following on from spiritual chickens, it would be good to create a novel with my final image, as it's been one of my more successful illustrations, or the other theme 'Spirit of the Forest' I think this could be a really beautiful comic if I illustrate it right, I found an article in National Geographic magazine about rare white coated black bears in canada, and the image was just of this pure white bear (almost alike a polar bear) in the lush green forest, they call it a spirit bear because they're ghost like. I considered the Pylon press but unsure whether I'll be able to achieve 24 pages, I think it could be doable if I possibly develop pattern pages, title page etc.

Choices, Choices...
I think the projects that I most enjoyed in the last module was the short comic and the tattoos booklet. I think they are two aspects I'd love to continue with, I do want to find a theme however that will create a full body of work and tie in together when creating different products. That's NOT because it's 'lazy' to do it this way, I just want my attention to soley be on a big project with similar themes and different outcomes.
INDY/MAKE AND SELL: A couple of ideas have sprung to mind: Recently in a photographic magazine there was a beautiful picture of a 'spirit' bear, I won't deluge to much at the moment as keeping the idea close to my heart for now, but it's definitely a project I want to take on. My idea is that I'd like to create a short comic, and from that can form all sorts of indy outcomes, such as large prints, tshirts, bags, badges etc. It's a simple story about a bear and i think it's a versatile story, given the illustrations go like what I'm imagining in my head then I think this will be a successful endeavor.
ADVERTISING: I've been working closely with a contact who I've helped with several illustration projects mainly for advertising purposes, from this I've been able to get further work with some of her contacts including doing logos, and banner designs. I think it's really important to be versatile, and advertising is always going to be a popular and reliable source of income with illustration if you have the right contacts. Luckily I have some of these contacts, particularly in advertising and graphics. When I worked on the 'We Love Our Locals' branding it was a great project, very fast flowing but I think that's when I work best as an illustrator, there tight timescales and at the end of the day you're doing work for a paying client, so you want to get it right and want to give them options asap. My designs ran as flyers, leaflets, banners, bag and t-shirt designs for the company. I've been working with them this year too, but more so with the creator of WLOL on other illustration projects.
I'd love to find some poster competitions or a way of feeding some of my work outside of university in to my illustration work. Maybe looking for local bands or local events that need help designing, it's just so important to create the right contacts and get an understanding of working in the world of illustration, even if it's for the smallest projects. It might be interesting to see if there are any wine labels, beer labels or beer mat competitions up for grabs?!
ENTREPRENEURIAL PRACTICE:
setting up my own branding for my accesorries business might be a good idea! I've been creating extravegant dark curio fascinators and it might be a good idea to set myself my own brief: i.e. Logo, Banner, Posters, Advertising ideas, then getting those printed and go to various markets trying to sell my items. From research the best places to sell alternative accessories are things like the Alternative Market in London, I've got a friend with a pitch there, so could always go halfsies! THat way my items are getting sold and my illustrations are being seen, which in turn raises funds to get more illustration stuff printed etc. I think initially the main thing is not to pay out too much because you might not sell it. Get the 'fan' base and interest in your work first before paying out masses on printing costs.
PACKAGING:
Music plays a massive role in my life, my alternative interests and image feeds into my love for the stranger and aquired pieces of music! I think it would be great fun to approach local bands, smaller bands mainly focusing on the alternative so Rockabilly bands, rock, metal indy etc. I know a few rockabilly bands around bristol and plymouth, maybe that would be a great place to tie my tattoo designs into that? As well as getting practice of helping to brand the band?
SUMMER SHOW:
I'd love to enter the summer show, some ideas of what they might like include Alice in Wonderland 'mad hatters tea party' this is my absolute favourite animated movie and if I did designs things for the show with that theme I wouldn't want to do it because it's been suggested I feel as though a lot of people might enter with that idea, so maybe something more like a vintage tea party? Not sure yet but something I'd definitely like to explore, not sure how this would work, but looked into popular animations and I was thinking Popeye? I know he's a sailor I know plymouth is a Navy city and maybe my tattoo design styles could fit into that not sure yet!
CARD DESIGNS:
I think card designs are a really great way of getting to grips with various themes and ways to fill the space and there's likely to always be a competition going on. From hearing the positive outcomes from my housemate about hallmark and creating a card design I think this might be a good direction to go in, thinking about the work I'm doing, cards are a good way of expanding my style and range of things to work with. Tattoo designs/one piece designs could apply here too. Also I want to get into typography more, I do love hand rendering text, so maybe that's something I should be focusing on a lot more.
All in all lots of ideas, I just need to think of solid themes and choose what I really want to be doing for my final project... should I go for my digital style or my hand rendered tattoo outcomes?
Considering I'm applying to various tattoo apprenticeships it might be an ideas to continue with tattoo designs in some shape or form, or at least applying designs to t-shirts etc that could be accepted as a tattoo style?

I wish I'd done that!
These are just a series of artists, illustrators and photographers who I admire completely. They're work is so unique and wonderful half the time I have no idea how they cook up such brilliant concepts. I'm starting with an illustrator I met in Bristol. Bristol has art trail days where you can visit the artists house have a chat look at their work etc. I was lucky enough to meet Tom Percival...
...Tom Percival: He'd recently just published a children's book called 'Tobias: and the Super Spooky Ghost Book' for children of course. The illustrations are so charming, and the use of colours and how he's created the illustrations are beyond me, but it's something I'd aspire to be like if I followed the path of a childrens book illustrator. I'm intrigued by the weird and wonderful so the fact this is a ghost story for kids fits perfectly with the various projects I've taken on including: Spiritual Chickens, Ghost Cat and my Death by Kitchen Collage. The book was published by harper collins, but all illustrations and text was done by Tom in 2010. When I bought his book from the art trail he left a lovely little illustrated message for me inside the book, it's something I'll definitely treasure! What's really lovely about the book, you can see that he's used mixed media, and also the way he plans out the pages is great. There's a really lovely combination of full bleed pages and smaller comic like pages, which represents the flow of the story well.
Victoria Frances: This has probably been one of my favourite artists of all time especially when I was growing up, although I wouldn't say my work reflects any realistic drawings/illustrations, the gothic mood and darker images are definitely what I like to look into for my work. I'd say it was my inner goth, for as a long time I was clad in black gear and loving these illustrations for the dark and moody feel they'd give off, it was quite romantic looking too in a way. Almost a modern/gothic pre-raphaelite creation. However as this artist grew with her work so did her imagination, this is when she came up with 'Misty's Circus' a beautiful victorianna/steampunk esq comic with the character named misty the characters in this book were a lot more animated, all kept the digital qualities of her realistic work but really showed testament to her imagination and versatility. It's definitely something I'd aspire to be able to do. I just need to work out how to get that quality to my digital work, I really don't know where to start with it at the moment!
Older work:
Later Work
Ulorin Vex (aka Christiana): Ulorin is an alternative model who also does amazing illustrations. She's a successful illustrator and using the networking she's got from her modelling has vastly helped the success of people buying her artwork. Here work is so beautiful, I've noticed a theme with the artists I've chosen, I seem to be choosing people as focal point to artwork, and in general I'm not great at drawing realistic people so it's definitely something I want to improve on, or at least to find a way of stylising people, especially women as they're a lot more fun to draw! These series of original drawings/finished pieces done by her have a mixed element of tattoo design, her modelling and overall pieces that work as framed/one off outcomes/t-shirt designs. I think the way she approaches her work gives it such a beautiful finish, I think this quality is what I'd like to achieve for my tattoo designs. Again quite dark moods and themes to the images.

Alex Lee Johnson Photography: As a photographer myself I can appreciate other photographers works, I think some of the illustrations I do feed directly off the creative model photography I do. One of the photographers I'm forever in awe of is Alex, his work is moody and ethereal and that's what I strive to create when I take a photo. Here's some of his work.
I'm forever striving to improve, with my illustrations and my photography, I'd like for some future projects to really bring the both worlds together or seek more influence from some of my work such as my 'Woman of the Wild' project, it would make a great illustrated story, and I would have all the reference imagery too.
Here's one of my latest photos as a part of that project:

Older work:
Later Work
Mr Mead: Another Bristol based illustrator, the first time I saw his work was in a family friends publication. A free magazine given out in Bristol called Crack magazine. It's an indy publication with current and local artists, supporting upcoming designers and musicians etc. This was where I first saw Mr. Meads work. Again his work can be very dark. When reading interviews he said a lot of his characters or the ideas behind them have to him from quite graphic and dark dreams. So it's amazing that something so dark can be quite beautiful and intricate. He mainly uses biros to create his artwork, I've been lucky enough to on numeroud occasions go to exhibitions of his, he uses the style of his work not just to create on of pieces of artoworks but to also apply it to more accessible forms of buying artwork like his deck of cards. All characters were different but the suits followed different animals for example hearts were all bird based creatures. When creating characters myself I think on the same wavelength as a lot of these artists in terms of eyes or the lack of them. Having a lot of space where the eyes should be is a favourite way of drawing for me, it creates an absent darker feel to the image, as eyes are the thing that everyone looks at the way which people emote, when they're gone it feel cold.
Phillip Harris: Another illustrator who I've admired for many years even prior to starting uni, again his work follows sometimes a more darker or victorian feel, I just love vintage or victorian things, so the combination of both is pretty amazing sometimes. Phil is also a really great illustrator to have spoken to as alike me he's following the path of becoming a tattoo artist. Although his illustrations are a lot more successful than mine, it just shows that having versatility and being able to do more than one thing in illustration is a good thing. You're more likely to have a regular income and job, and enjoy it at the same time too. I think his work has progressed really well and has hit a niche in the market and a brilliant target audience. At the moment vintage things and tee's and indy businesses are booming. It's really popular to get hand printed tee's and to support local artists. So the way he's managed to apply his illustrations to t-shirts, badges, comics as well as to print is a great addition to his work. It opens up a lot more doors. Networking is so important these days so being able to do more than one thing is going to give you an advantage.
It ties into some of my tattoo designs I'm currently doing, I do need to finesse how I do my illustrations so maybe looking at phillips work is a good way of progressing mine.

Clockwork Comic, Tattoo Catalogue and Octo design in Context
Although I've set off for this to be a submission for the offlife comic competition, if it doesn't get selected my plan is to make a front and back cover and some pattern pages, I'd like it to be a decent 12 page zine to take to ideally try to get into a few shops. I've had an idea as to what kind of place it would be suitable for, and I'm hoping the style of the comic will appeal to a wide range of ages. In terms of where it should be housed I would love the opportunity to talk to the No Guts No Glory guys to see if they'd be interested in featuring my work. Also alongside with the taxidermy/Steampunk fascinators I make it would be a great idea to maybe take it to alternative/steampunk craft/clothing fairs, people are always trying to find unique goodies there, and it's a great way to network with the type of people that would be interested in my work.
This would be an amazing event to aspire to get to one day!
http://www.alt-fest.com/2014/steampunk-experience
other alternative events like this (below) will also benefit my tattoo zine, it's the type of place where people want to get ideas for tattoos, the alternative world admires the beauty of tattoo designs and maybe a little booklet for a fiver would be better than committing to a tattoo too soon! [=
http://thealternativeandburlesquefair.com/
Also in Bristol where I'm from Gloucester Road has a whole host of individual businesses, some of which would be really happy to feature local artists work. Iota is a shop who seeks alternative art prints/booklets to sell instore amongst their vintage/quirky gifts, the tattoo zine would work really well here, I know they already have a few things like traditional tattoo wrapping paper. Also various cafe's and galleries there are so many places to ask in Bristol they're really friendly and keen to help people out especially on gloucester road,
In terms of agencies, these two outcomes have been quite different. However I do feel like I'm developing two strong styles. One being the more 2D digital outcomes, and the other being the more traditional tattoo designs using colour pencils, I think my love at the moment are the tattoo designs, as that's an aspect of illustration I'd really like to look into, having spoken to various tattoo artists already it's a good place to start practicing my ideas. I hope this translates well with illustration agencies, I know that phillip harris retrained as a tattoo artist but that was after he'd been in the industry for a while so managed to develop an amazing style, I really aspire to be a great illustrator like him - I know tattoos are a part of the western culture a lot more, so I hope this style can start fitting in to more mainstream and commercial style illustrations/collumns etc.
I feel as though http://www.lemonadeillustration.com/ fits in with my more quirkier style. They seem to have a nice variation of illustrators, a few of which I think my style can apply to. The digital side I think works well alongside these illustrators, funnily enough one has done an octopus drawing!

This agency seems quite good for a more story-children friendly artwork, maybe for the clockwork zine
http://www.sylviepoggio.com/
I like the style of this agency, there seems to be a good varied collection of artists, varying with different practices, I can see where I could potentially fits in here,
http://www.goodillustration.com/
really love these two artists:
http://www.goodillustration.com/portfolio/Andrew-Fairclough-177/
and http://www.goodillustration.com/portfolio/Phil-Wheeler-31/
he seems a really good mix of styles, I love the pattern, the symmetry, the animal and the fact it looks painted but is digitally done (I think!)
And finally it's always good to aspire to be with the big guns!!! Once I've developed my style more and settled on something I think I'd be more confident to try and submit work to them. The Central Illustration Agency!
Adore this work! I can see how I could try and adapt my work to make it more commerical and accessabile for others, this is a perfect example of a beautiful pattern design, maybe that's something I should try more ofhttp://www.centralillustration.com/illustrators/ray-smith

And finally it's always good to aspire to be with the big guns!!! Once I've developed my style more and settled on something I think I'd be more confident to try and submit work to them. The Central Illustration Agency!
Adore this work! I can see how I could try and adapt my work to make it more commerical and accessabile for others, this is a perfect example of a beautiful pattern design, maybe that's something I should try more ofhttp://www.centralillustration.com/illustrators/ray-smith
