I have been thinking about doing some cut out work on a fashion piece for my final show using a pattern I have made to cut cut from and showing my image/illustration (in digital print)peeping through the cut out work....I came across these images from Print source of some dresses that had been made similar for one of there previous collections. I have also worked on a couple of scarf designs over the weekend too..

Well this week or so has been an extremely tough and tiring week, working through to some god forsaken hours, my arm aches from drawing and painting and the only thing that is keeping me going are over sized cans of red bull, but have just got to keep going at the pace I have been... I had a review of my work last week that went well, and up to now are pleased with the results. There is so much to think of with, what feels like, so little time. I had been asked to develop my images further and also introduce more flowers/trees etc to start layering my images and bringing them forward into design. I have currently started to put some of my work together and hopefully by the start of next week have my designs ready to work on... 

Here are some of my latest drawings.... Some are done for background images.

 This dress has been featured on a poster on my daughters wall for some time and I have to say I have always admired looking at it.... It's a Vivienne Westwood dress featuring the works of 17th Century artist Peter Paul Ruben. This dress goes to show that such fine detailed artwork from the Renaissance period can travel all these years and be brought right up to date printed onto a very contemporary dress from a very contemporary designer.....

As promised last week, here are the starting illustrations of my body of work....I have tried to create surreal like images collaborated illustrative drawings in pen and ink or graphite pencil incorporating digital imagery to give a secret mystical look to the garden... Hope you like them, there will be more to follow next week.....

Ok so I felt a blog was needed for this one......... I have currently been working on my drawings but have recently got very excited for the window displays currently in Harvey Nichols that I have found on a visual Merchandising report on WGSN. Take a look..... As I am wanting to do some window decals as my final design, I found these very appropriate to my theme. My drawings will be added in the next couple of days.
