TV and a book wrap.

Post uni work, the TV is a part of a poster we are making for our new blood exhibition. As i have now finished uni i am open for commissions!

Final Project.

It has been a while! Here are some of the images from my final project. It is about a journey to a tv studio and the conflict between my expectations and the realilty of the place.

Life Drawing

Life drawing is actually the best thing.
I remember watching some saachi programme on BBC, in which some silly person said that life drawing was cliche, she was obviously awful at it, though I would not say that I am any good. It is fun to just play around with media and make marks you would never do in your own work, even if it comes out looking horrible. Here are some attempts of what I did Wednesday.

Card design and Travel Scribbles.

Two updates, in one week. Wow.
Our class is having a bit of a card sale at uni next week, here's my offering. I have more designs and ideas in my brain, and hopefully they'll get put on paper tonight.
Here are some random doodles from my diary/sketchbook that I have been trying to keep going.

six past three. (i'm the worst at blogging)

Dissertation and final minor project are handed in! I guess I could have written these words weeks ago, but party times were needed, and they were damn good. My project came together rather well, and I am in planning stages for my last project at uni, sad times. I think I have a pretty interesting idea.

Anyway, here some of the images that were apart of my final piece for the major project. It was a massive time line, but due to my camera deciding to take swimming lessons in ink, it's become a bit difficult to use, so i can not show that. The idea of the time line was to show the viewpoints of 5 different people during the hillsborough disaster. The images are quite ambiguous to force the viewer to decode what they are looking at.




Enjoy! I am doing some card designs which I will post up later, buy them!

3:15 - 3:55.

I am currently in the last stages of my minor project in which I looking at the Hillsborough disaster. This little selection of spreads is from a small book we had to produce over three days (no sleep and showers = fun times). My work focuses on telling stories past the initial view point people are shown. My book investigates the way in which the police and personal opinions where contrasting. Within this book I was not trying to express my opinion of what happened, only facts that I have been presented with through research. My final piece is going to be a series of time lines in which the viewer is made to work to resolve the elements.

hey comrades, i made a bag. It is also christmas soon.

After advertising this as something I am actually working on, it would seem appropriate to actually start using the damn thing. My illustration class have been cracking out some amazing screen printed tote bag designs for you lovely people to get your hands on, here's what I had to offer, if you fancy getting your hands on one. It costs £5, unless your a student and i'l wack you out a killer deal. email me m.gilham@hotmail.co.uk if your interested!

We also have Christmas cards, which is 50p for one, or £1 for three. I dont have any other design apart from mine, but if you want more than one, it will be like a lucky dip, how exciting!

Here's a selection of random drawings till i get round to posting about what i am actually doing at the moment! Enjoy!
