DOES MY BUM LOOK BIG IN THIS?

NEW FILM OUT THIS SUMMER

CHRIS GILMOUR

Chris Gilmour is an English artist who creates live-sized sculptures out of recycled cardboard. He recreates every detail of the objects from the precise curves of the shells to every single engine part. The meticulous nature of his work really allows us to appreciate the design of these everyday objects giving them a new life. Take at look at more of his work on his website http://www.chrisgilmour.com/en.opere.html

MOWING THE LAWN DOESN'T HAVE TO BE BORING!

8 DEGREES OF SHOPLIFTING

I have been greatly influenced by Nigel Holmes work which came in use when doing my own piece of information graphics on shoplifting.

NIGEL HOLMES

In my opinion Nigel Holmes is the king of information graphics. His combination of shape, line and tone allows him to create very bold graphics which not only look intriguing but explain the subject. His book 'Wordless Diagrams' is a must read even though there are no words!

THE ANCIENT ASSASSINS

The Ancient Assassins have been set free so watch out! 

DAVID HOCKNEY

I went to see David Hockney's work at the Royal Academy of Arts over Easter. His use of vivid colours in his paintings is really striking when seeing them up close and I was particularly captivated by his recent work on an iPad. The range of marks he was able to create on the iPad really allowed him to add detail whilst describing the textures in the landscapes.

THE ANCIENT ASSASSINS

These are my paper toys which I created for my university project. They are a group of war veterans who are OAPs during the day and assassins by night.

PAPER TOYS

My new project is to create my own set of paper toys so to get me in the paper making spirit I printed some existing templates off and assembled them. Here is Ralph with his formula one car!
