Your Piques

I recently joined a new (very new) website called Your Piques, it offers anyone the chance to upload clothing designs and possibly see them become reality.
I urge everyone and anyone to try it out, I really think it might take off.

Signing up is straight forward, uploading is quick and easy. No doubt as the popularity grows it'll attract more and more people, perhaps even industry types. So even if your an illustrator (like me, I know nothing about designing clothes) there are still a tonne of benefits!

Please check it out.

(My first design, the shirt dress I've been envisioning and lusting over -and comparing to the crap amount of actual shirt dresses available- for quite some time. I hope they make it so I can steal it and wear it all summer.)

Freehand Ink + pointy stick (as per usual I really need to attempt to draw with something else at some point), coloured badly in CS5

Photo Album- quick post

I decided to treat my sister to a photo album, she's recently become obsessed with film photography.
She also has an obsession with cats!
My aim for today was to find a quirky cat related photo album, that didn't go so well. I guess everyone elses obsession with cats has disappeared or is just reserved for tumblr?
Anyway I ended up DIY-ing a Paperchase album. Using my cat-cup-cakes.
This photo is awful! BUT I think they print out quite well onto brown paper?

The execution could have been better but this was an half an hour job!
About to pop off to Euston to get the train home for the night, photoshoot early tomorrrow!

SOME UNPROFESSIONAL

images of what I've been doing lately. We've recently started a module on moving images, the aim to create a short fashion film.
It's a group project and we've been assigned Shane Meadows (This Is England, Somer's Town, Twenty Four Seven etc...) as our inspiration for film direction and Alexander McQueen as the inspiration for content.

I am excited about this project, but motivation to get started has been lacking. I think it's because I put so much into the last project I just felt exhausted. It's abismal but I've literally done nothing for six weeks! This is how my last project started, when it comes to uni work I have to find some sort of spark. I just don't feel the pressure (paid and commissioned work I'm just like CRAP people are expecting stuff, I feel a weight of responsibility almost and it encourages me) Uni work I'm just like.. meh... The bad thing is this project is SHORT, and I'm now half way through it!

This week I finally started illustrating, I've basically been summarising all of the menswear collections using my ink and stick technique (I really need to learn something new!)

Here are some amazing webcam shots (my camera lead has ran away.)

sorry for my face.
