Haunts of the Poets

Right, so for this project we had to produce images for an exhibition at the poetry cafe in Covent Garden. We went on a couple of drawing days in central london, which was fun, we had to research a poem and then produce a piece/ pieces illustrating the poem and / or incorporate bits of our reportage drawings.

here are a couple out the ol sketchbook;

The prow of the Golden Hinde

 The crazy arches of Borough Market

Millenium bridge as spine, and St. pauls

A pair of identically dressed old men.


and here are the final images, the submissions are reviewed on monday so I'll know pretty soon whether I'm on the wall!

I was inspired by the poem "The london Breed" by Benjamin Zephaniah

CROOKED APPROACH

Hello merry bloggophiles. Unfortunately I don't have anything new this week so I thought I'd dust off the old sketchbooks, leaf through those desiccated tomes and whack something old/new up here.

enjoy

Paint by Numbers

 These are some oil paintings I did for the second part of our first project. It was nice to use oils again after so long, even if i did underestimate how long each piece would take me.
