Love, Laugh, Live

This was a small present I made for my Mum for Mother's Day. Have yet to buy a frame for it :)


START: Walking book project

This was a project where I was asked to produce artwork for a book project called 'START Walking'. During the project I worked with START (Students and Refugees Together), Trufflehog and the Creative Writing students at Plymouth University. The book focused on the refugee communities of Plymouth and aimed to introduce them to walks within the city and the surrounding countryside. The book included nine walks each with a map, directions, interesting facts, local wildlife and interviews with members of the refugee communities.

Here are some of my initial map sketches and ideas:

Burrator Reservoir

Mt. Edgecumbe to Kingsand






The final artwork was made out of cut-paper and collaged together digitally. I made symbols that were used on each map. Here's some of the finished artwork:

Burrator Reservoir

Mt. Edgecumbe to Kingsand

Mt.Batten to Bovisand

As well as maps I also did some wildlife illustrations:

Badger

Sheep

Fallow Deer
Raven
Kingfisher

I finally received some copies of the finished item earlier this year - I will get some photos up soon :)

Morynga

This is a little piece I did autumn 2013 for the Morynga company to promote their autumn moringa tea flavours:

  • moringa, hibiscus and cinnamon
  • moringa and lemongrass
  • moringa and ginger

Some initial sketches:

And the final artwork:


The image was displayed on the Morynga website during autumn 2013 until early 2014.

Here's a small screenshot.

Just love the hair 'do on this colourful bird :)
