What is oil spray?! These questions are still unanswered in my brain

Just some hand drawny stuff (i fear i am beginning to get typecast) of overheard conversations. This is nowhere near the finished piece which will remain under wraps.... However it is a glimpse. Some definitely work better than others



"Whats oil spray?" Yes, what is oil spray, such questions in life i fear may forever go without an answer. Or its just oil in a spray can. Who can tell?



I dont know, would they look pimp? What is it that could look pimp? I'm imagining maybe white loafers. They could look awful, or pimp. Or both, something that looks pimp has a high chance of looking awful.







"Oh sweet Boddingtons" I haven't uploaded the Boddingtons bit, but i have gone for the colours associated with it. I will have to try it in order to comment on whether such a phrase is applicable. I'd guess it isnt.



Again, What is oil spray? but this time with a darker H and L. Because the L and H are crucial.

Explicit type is rude

Next step is to create an explicit type face...

I like old movies

In particular this one...

If you haven't watched it, then your life will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be complete.

You don't have to thank me straight away

Just 2 days left as a teenager

So i thought i would draw something which i hope to change in the upcoming adult years (sigh)



These are the foods i don't eat. Ok in reality there are far more foods i don't eat but i couldn't remember them at the time. I think i should now spend the next 2 days not eating these gross things and then start trying to eat them. Eww

I wasted my money on this?!

So yeah, i wasted my money on a certain book. It probably shouldn't be a waste but i have read it and the funnest thing i could think about doing with it was drawing it. Well the contents, not the book, that wouldn't be fun.



Akzidenz Grotesk. A boring type face. Poorly replicated too.

You've always been fawning

This was a quick drawing whilst my cat was watching me intently. I know its a cat but i'm pretty sure it understood what i was writing.



And i got bored with letters so i had a brief attempt at numbers. It helped me decide i like letters more than numbers. They look nicer for one

It's a crime to be creative in this family...

i escaped the dog, just about, however there will be a rematch as of next monday, plus with birthday festivities and carveries on the horizon i think i better update this sooner rather than later.

The images are kind of odd looking as they're photos rather than scans.

This was something my brother said (its from the lovely bones) but he said it in the heat of an argument. It was hilarious and lame at the same time.



This is an alphabet of hand drawn type. I'm becoming obsessed i know...



My sister wanted me to draw like a spaceman. I didn't know what she meant, so i just drew this. I am still a bit perplexed as to what she meant

A2B - Arthritis inducing amounts of drawing

These are a set of three images that i drew for a project entitled A2B. I used the idea of answering the brief by only using a 2B pencil. These are scanned in and sewn together sections of what was a completed 20 metre roll of paper. Click on the image and you can see it larger!



This first section of the roll was the first whole pencil i used. It was based on what you can draw without any restrictions. However this complete freedom was a bit overwhelming at times. I really enjoyed the hand drawn type though and knew i wanted to use this again.



This is the second section. Following on from the hand drawn type element of the previous section i drew a series of A's. This was more enjoyable but did get a bit monotonous. Also i feel there is a bit too much white space.



This is the final section of the roll. The idea behind this was to go from the beginning of he dictionary at A to the end of the B section. In total this would have been 93 pages of the Dictionary and after a week of almost continuous drawing i realised it wouldn't be possible as i wasn't even on AB yet. So instead i decided to go from A to he end of AB. This was definitely the most enjoyable part and i think its really effective.

Definitely the best thing i produced during my first year anyway!

Patterns are also fun - How a page on patterns can actually feature no patterns whatsoever

I think this is unfinished. After all what good is a page on patterns if there is no pattern. These go with an earlier piece on things that are fun.

Hand drawn type is surprisingly fun if you are the type of person who also finds train journeys fun

Don't mock me because my interests are slightly crap (a lot crap) but hand drawn type has become one of my favourite things to do. I just wished i knew what to write more often.

A public service announcement

A helpful and informative leaflet about what causes Sophie Roakes face to go red. A nation wide dispatch is imminent.

Things that are fun...

This is part of a larger set of drawings entitled "things that are fun" (that sentence seems so grammatically incorrect and childish - Win!) But i like it and it took a while so ta-dah!

It says:

but whats even more fun.... is train journeys, trainers, pizza express,sour sweets, quoting mean girls, the mr.reid stage fall, rain, silence, (things in brackets), wasting time, clown college, pointless bus trips, convincing acting, talking like a gangster, food with faces, uncontrollable laughter, harold bishop, tiny bow ties, crazy golf, crabbing, coffee stabbing, being panacheful, horatio knibbles, colouring in, collecting stuff, funny faces, stating the obvious, lists.

Obviously that list isnt fun to everyone. In fact its probably only fun to me, hmmm
