Photoshoot

Inspired from one of the prints I produced, I used it as a base for a make-up design. Using face paints, I recreated the design on Jo’s face and neck. I chose the setting of the alley near my house, as the graffiti on the wall reflects previous research into Mr Shiz and Lilo Kinne…

GIFS

As part of my project, I have created the GIFS below. I have used a colour scheme of purple, pink and turquoise, based on one of the prints with brusho ink. The first GIF is of my Zine title, which changes the bright colours quickly for impact and to reflect the title word of ‘VIVID’. The…

Athens Trip – GIF

I have then gone on to produce a series of prints with a variety of backgrounds (warm & cold colours, complimentary colour combinations, inks) using brusho inks and acrylic paints.

Looking at my and others images, I learnt that somehow I had underexposed mine as the negatives were coming up black. However, with…

I wanted it to be bold and bright, and so decided on creating a design that could be used as a stencil for different colour palettes. Below…

Make-Up As Art

For my next project, I have the opportunity to create and produce my own Zine. I have chosen for my theme to be looking at the link between make-up and art. Below, is my starting point image by Patrice Murciano, which caught my eye due to the intense colours and combination of paint and illustration.
