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!

Action Alphabet

This is something that i did for my degree. It was meant to be letters that were created by doing an action such as grating, peeling etc blah. I actually really like it :D

Why didn't i chose to collect something with monetary value like cars or diamonds?

I know why i have decided on what i have decided to collect (blatantly escaping saying what it is i have decided to collect) because i like it, but it was a foolish decision. I could have chosen something worthwhile and pestered people to buy me gold or Fabergé eggs on the basis that they were supporting my education and development.
