Enough Already

What can I say? I cants get enough of the gold pen!...I feel like I have to use it in everything!
This is a drawing of my amazing friend Malikah, hopefully this will all make sense at the end of my summer brief...

Here's to my girly side

"We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing what colours went together"

I've been wanting to post these stills for ages, I completely LOVE Sofia Coppola and all of her films. Heres The Virgin Suicides <3

INSPIRATION

Music, films, photography etc have a massive influence on me, so I thought I should start posting these things alongside my work. With some of my inspirations you can see the direct influence on my work and with others you cant, and probably with most of these types of posts you will see my frustration with wanting to make my work like these things but not being able to achieve the soul/spirit/nature. I shall be posting images and links so you can see, but also it might help me get that bit closer to understanding why and what resonates within them, within me. Fingers crossed eh?

Here are some stills from the films 2001: a space odyssey & Transformers The Movie

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY

TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE 1986

It might be having five older brothers but watching this film makes me feel super nostalgic. I put a few film stills from Transformers because i'm completely in awe and amazed how they create such vivid colours and bright lights, its utterly and completely 80's...plus ORSON WELLES is UNICRON!!!
