Marla & The Fulcrums Vinyl Cover

Using Mark Hearld's illustrative methods and Andrew Tanner's composition of the English hedgerow plate, i have designed this vinyl cover.

Initial drawings

Background and circular branches surround

 Lino cut leaves

Monoprinted wood texture of branches

Added another layer of foliage, tissue paper with yellow lino cut leaves

Mark Herald

Herald has produced the illustration for  Nicola Davis' Children's book, 'Outside your window: A first book of nature' I like the textured and mixed media of printing and collage etc, I think this will suit my theme.

Guardian's of Ga'Hoole

Guardians of Ga’Hoole is a fantasy book series written by Kathryn Lasky and published by Scholastic. The series, which ended in 2008 with the publication of The War of the Ember, has a total of fifteen books. Apart from the main series there are a few more books and spin offs set in the same universe. The series was adapted into an animated 3D film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, directed by Zack Snyder.directed by Zack Snyder.

The film begins in awoodland setting and focuses on the owl's nest and primative urge to hunt, id like to take this as inspiration for the artwork for Marla and the Fulcrums.

Screen Printing Tester

I put together this tshirt design, and hand screen printed it onto various surfaces, such as cartridge paper, sugar paper, cardboard, tyvek, calico etc.  I took inspiration from this image on Pinterest:

FMP

 I bought a tent from the internet, it is 2m x 2m and 2.5m in height

 This is the inside of the roof, where the structural supports are clearly visible, which i have to consider covering or leaving exposed.

I have also sourced straw bales, which are used for animal bedding, and are lighter than hay. They are 97cm x 35cm x 50cm. I'm hoping to have approximately 5 around my tent, laying doilies and vintage tea towels over them to act as seating, this was used in End of the Road Festival.

Art Foundation chums :)

I'm having a great time in foundation and the people are a great group. Everyone is so supportive and considerate, helping everyone else. I shall miss you guys at uni xx

Lino printing

I began my album cover art by making the design, which i would combine with a photograph. Variants of this could also be used on tshirts, album covers etc. Just as i had started my lino cutting,  i realised i had but the lettering on the wrong way. Restarting Monday.
