Today has been eventful... the book arrived! and we set up the exhibition at the gallery space.

Here are some pictures of some of today's events...

our exhibition space, we even painted the table.

two of my pieces together in the book.

 The front cover by Ellie :) because of the vast amount of colours and the vibrance of the front cover we decided to make our exhibition space very muted and dark so it stood out.

Introduction

Another one of my pieces cropped to fit in the book. The colours actually printed really well.

I've also been working more on my illustrations, I finally found a yellow food colouring... although I had to trek all the way back to Coventry to actually find one (it wasn't obviously the soul purpose of my trip). And after spilling half the bottle of this sacred medium all over myself (I look like I have jaundice) and my desk I managed to get some drawings done.

Here's one of the pages. The yellow dominates the image.

as per usual the illustration is free hand ink and food colouring. The blue and  green were used to colour the page before I drew on top. 

 Today I also brought a nibbed pen, so I could use ink but not have to use the wrong end of a paint brush anymore- it was quite restrictive in terms of weight of lines etc.. I haven't really done anything that detailed so far. So I spent my Friday night on this: an interpretation of a miu miu dress. (Sorry if none of this is coherent I'm pretty tired now) It's free hand ink, (not drawn with pencil beforehand if no one understands what freehand means). It's basically just me trying to get to grips with using these dodgy quill like nibs. It might look pretty good after it's been messed about with and fixed in photoshop... if I ever get it back...

 Deadline in four days!!!!!!
