The Sacred Hoop - Picture Book

 I finally got to see the finished book so here are a few photographs to give you an idea of the end product, which will be put up for the final show exhibition of my extended diploma course together with the work of 500 other students.
I am not completely satisfied with the job the printing company did and they charged a ridiculous price on top of that, so I am now looking out for online companies which are cheaper and more reliable. If you have any suggestions I'd be very happy to read them! c:
I am still looking very much forward to the opening night of the exhibition at the 23rd of may which also will be the last time for all the people of my course to get together. I think it will be a nice endling of those two years.

 

 

 

You can find the whole book on animexx or bookrix if you're interested in reading it. :)

The Sacred Hoop W.I.P. III

 

Okay, last w.i.p. post for this project. c:

It's been some pretty stressful weeks but now all the pages are done and lettered and at the print office already, just waiting to get transformed into an actual book. I'll be collecting it on monday and really can't wait to get my hands onto it.

  

 

 

 

 

The Stuff of Nightmares

 

The playthings of the innovent can be rather creepy at times. I created those drawings after visiting a exhibition called 'The Stuff of Nightmares' in the V&A Museum of Childhood in London, which is a really recommendable place to go. For the exhibition the Front Room Gallery had been transformed into a sinister forest by local schoolchildren working with artists. It became the dark setting for a re-telling of the Brother Grimm's Fundevogel and explored the darker side of the child's  imagination.
It was very interesting and gave me a lot inspiration for my latest project.
