Negotiated Practice

well it seems i’ve literally dried my brain of inspiration, so to make sure i at least get something done i’m going to try and draw one picture everyday.

i will post every couple of days and write a bit about it

here’s a cow dressed as a farmer.

this piece is called ”for the whore”

i’m happy, needs more of something though!

blurred wolf, you cant see all the detail in the teeth because of the photo

here’s a wolf

a quick sketch parody of a friends work,

CHECK THEM OUT THEY ARE SUPER SICK!

right i have some sort of idea of what i want to draw now and a reason behind it…

here’s  the ‘bullshit’

i got told the other day that all i seem to draw are masculine drawings, e.g big powerful animals or raped women

so the new project is called ‘what makes men masculine’

not too sure about this one yet, nice idea tho.

chappie.

russian tattoo

i’ve also decided to start tattooing pig skin for my work.

will post photos very soon.

had to sew the feet up as the skin starts to shrink and tighten over the knuckles but is loose at the ends

head 2

i’ve been asked if i wanted to put my pigs in a exhibition to help raise money for our final year show, i could have put up a bit of work i’ve been doing lately but i thought i’d see how people react and it might be perfect way  to get feed back from fellow illustrators.

also i tried to defrost the head quicker in my parents bath but i must have scolded the skin on the top of the head and now the ink wont come off it, it makes it look really dirty and in a way it was a nice mistake but it frustrated me for a long time, so much so i ended up smacking head a couple of times.

i’ve also pined the eye lids back so it makes the eyes visible.

update on the pig

today i decided to try skinning the belly pork from the rib cage.

here is the process, this meat is well over a month old, its really starting to smell

tried screws, didnt work so i used nails

work station/parents kitchen table

Presentation

i had a tutorial earlier this week and was asked how i was hoping to display the work, i was thinking of trying to put it all together and really finalize all the pieces.

promo shots

i wanted to get some different shots of the pig, i used my analog camera to take the pictures apposed to a digital camera this time.

heres a photo of my phone of it. i left the pig there for nature to take its course.

Promo shots (not final images )

there are some more but its being awkward and won’t upload

i decided on getting one more head and trying a few more shots to try get as much work as i could possibly get.

i wasnt sure how these would turn out but infact i think these are my best shots yet.

i have decided on choosing 6 final images instead of 4, i really think these work perfectly as a set.

here they are, i was them in 2 sets of 3 one above each other.

big thanks to
