Time

Time is a part of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them and to quantify rates of change such as motions of objects.

Sound ..how do you draw it?

I've been thinking about sound & how you draw it.
You can represent sound by drawing things associated with sound such as musical instruments, insects & birds & other animals. Musical instruments make sounds, make music so therefore are to do with sound. Each particular instrument has a specific sound.
What about making sound into something physical? A physical manifestation of sound.
Speaking of birds & sound being physical, I instantly thought of Songbird, a marvel character...

Songbird uses a form of technology that converts sound into a malleable form of energy that has a physical form and mass, termed 'solid sound'. She easily can create simple 3D sound mass constructions.

Dreams

Thinking back to that Graphics lessons about Dreams.
I have looked at sci-fi comic book art but I think that Film screen shots would work better as research to fuel this. As there were wizards in the dream & the result of what i drew, I've decided to look at both Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings.
First Harry Potter, i couldn't find any decent screen shots so i had a look at the Posters that they used to promote the film. There were many amazing ones of each interesting character but the two which stood out for me were one of Harry Potter & the other of Professor Mcgonagall.

Last Lord of the Rings, i couldn't find a screen shot for this either. Would have to do screen shots myself if i wanted one. However i found this >
A video showing some of Gandalf's Magic.

Art & Design ..Time of Your Life!

"Art & Design ..Time of Your Life!" is the writing I'm using in the wall sticker design.
Then i had to come up with an image to go with the text. Time of your life ..i instantly thought of Skydiving.
There was one problem. How do you draw someone skydiving?
Perfect place to look was Google Images, i typed in Skydiving & it came up with plenty of skydiving pictures for me to draw from. Amazing!

Street Art

My favourite type of street art is 3D street art. This is because it uses illusions to make people think that something could be possibly in 3D which in fact its flat. One of my favourite street artists is Johnnie Walker Taipei because he does this so well.

Skyline!

Looking at my textile sample today i realised that it looks somewhat similar to an aerial view of a city or town.
After doing some research into aerial views, I eventually started looking at Aerial Photography. There are a lot of photos of skylines of cities & towns, more particularly, skyline of cities like London & New York.
I came across this photo which reminded me of my work, with the rising levels. This relates to architecture.
I could possibly relate this to other subjects as I have a keen interest in Architecture

David Batchelor

David Batchelor is a Scottish artist & writer.
He has created work such a Brick Lane Remix 1 (shown below) & the Parapillar collection.

I've took a keen interest in his work as he looks into colours and how they can be used to affect the viewer of his work. I have to say, I love bright colours and have decided to use them in my Textiles work. Randomly placed rectangular shapes placed randomly on a fabric which i can relate to seeing David Batchelor's work.   

Crystalina Fibres & Roots

 

Whilst in Textiles i realised the great similarity between the edges of crystalina fibres & roots of a plant. I had a look at what roots looked like just to verify it to myself. Here's a picture to prove it.
