FMP Hidden Content concept

Imagine three, 9 ft typographic poster based on my three separate brands.

The message in the poster will be unclear until you adorn the rose colored lenses.

The words inside the posters will be a reflection of the individual I chose to brand, with a strong insight into there individual personality. (Because on first sight you can't say you know allot about a person) It may be my own insight into that person or a quote from the individual that reveals allot about themselves.

PORTFOLIO_photo_version

Hey everyone, I've been offered a place and Chelsea UAL

to study Graphic Design Communication.

Allot of It is down to my portfolio.

REAL_3D/because_i_can

It's something I haven't don in years

But here's a model I'm working on.

It's loosely based on Tiki Masks

One of the best

Ashley Wood is one of the reasons why I constantly draw, his work inspires me alot. If it weren't for his illustrations along side people like Jamie Hewlett, Shepard Fairey and Todd Mcfarlane I'd probably be an Illustrator. lol.

illustrating FEED Magazine 4

We're making some amazing illustrations for FEED issue 4.

Here I am hardly working. :-)

Plan Lines

People always ask me why do I draw with very ruff lines? And can I draw neatly?

The simplest answer is I don't want to have to finish all my lines, I like the look of my plan lines on paper and it seems a terrible waste to rub them out. If I need to draw "neatly" I can, but right now I like to draw quickly and expressively.

As a teen I would draw, draw, draw, paint, and draw, everyday. I would create my own comic books, with my friend Napoleon Beckford (aka Nappa). I'd draw all the plan lines and stories, and he'd do the hard work of making sense of my scribbles, adding fine lines and inks. And he'd do it so beautifully, he would make one of my A3 illustrations neat & coloured in 30 minutes, I'd take one hour. 

In 2004 Nappa past away, and highly crucial detailed illustration became a style I would rarely use.

Justice - Stress ?????

I just sat through this new music video by Justice & honestly I'm not sure if I liked it.

Whilst it had me gripped by the excellent direction and the feelings of movement and anticipation, at the end of the video I was left with nothing more than a conformation of what I thought when I saw two young black boys pull hoods over their heads within the first 20 second. I think that this video was meant to show the destructive nature of young teens venting their frustrations on french society, but what I also see is the same thing on the news at 10. So again I say I'm not sure if I like it, but It could be called powerful social commentary, made purposely to stir controversy. 

Let me know what you think.

Suburbia

I've always felt unsettled when I find myself suburbia

It's a sinking feeling of being surrounded, as unseen eyes follow my every step.

A few weeks ago I found myself in the suburbs of Aldridge Walsall, walking down a road of detached six bedroom houses, when the aforementioned unsettling feeling set in.

I noticed that every other window had someone peering through net curtains, watching me walk through the precious neighborhood.

 

I found this far more disturbing than the cars whizzing by with teenage passengers screaming racial slurs.

As I got home I created this painting.

FATHER_assignment/So_far

I received a college brief about 4 weeks ago, it was not a written assignment, I was simply told I must make an animation based on the word father. It should contain 3D elements along with stop motion. Since then I've done allot of research, development, and production.

After researching my father extremely interesting life I came up with an idea, and presented it to my father. He said "BOI, you can do better. Use this as a starting point and think harder about your concept." 

So after lots of mind numbing consideration I decided to take his advice, and use father as a starting point. And my thought process after that became a product of my fathers criticism.

I began my development sketchbook, thinking about myself being a product of my father, my father being product of his father and so on. So I looked at products in relation to the products that came before them, product packaging, product pamphlets, information etc... until I came up with the idea of a 3Demential product that evolves and develops. 

and thats the short version of where I am with my father assignment.

Readymades

Okay, In 1917 Marcel Duchamp created this instillation called 'Fountain'

the basic premiss was to shock and provoke the audiance by taking an obscure object; in this case a urinal, and exhibiting it signed R.Mutt. 

At the time this was ground breaking, and fresh.

Skip forward to 2006, and Michael Ratulowski thinks this is a ground breaking stroke of genius. 

Do you see what he's done their. He's taken the basic concept of the readymade and progressed it ever so slightly by adding a fro-back pop culture reference.

I love originality.
