Rough Character Concepts Framed and Ready to Display!

I've framed the initial 3D character concepts I made and they will hopefully be displayed by Wednesday. They will be displayed at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design near the Vis Com office! Check it out if you're about!

Circus Work!

Here is a peek at some developments in some of the pages I've worked on so far:

Circus Characters So Far!

So the past two days I've really concentrated on my children's book idea. Here are the characters I have designed so far..I'm rather chuffed with them actually! There's probably not a lot I will change when I get round to producing the finished book; just neat them up and alter positions if needed! I hope I've communicated the personality of the characters..any feedback is welcome :)

Vaudeville Update: Character Design

Possibly my favourite character to date! I had loads of fun creating him and think he will look great on the poster design I have in mind.

YCN Update

Third tent card design..not sure about this one!?

Triumph: 2nd Tent Card Development

Second tent card design for the YCN/Triumph brief!

Collaborative Project: Salem Church

As part of my final uni project, I'm collaborating with my friend Luke who studies Interior Design/Architecture at Leeds College of Art. Basically He's redesigning the old Salem Church building in Leeds and turning it into a theatre. The aim of the venue would be to act as a platform for emerging and well-known artists to showcase their talents, much like old vaudeville shows. Artists could include singers and musicians, comedians, dancers etc..mostly avante-garde styles that you wouldn't necessarily normally see.

Anyway..I've been asked to produce a poster and flyers to advertise a potential event at the venue to help back up the design. I'm in love with this era of entertainment and victorian advertising so the posters will be heavily influenced by this. As I love to work in 3D, my initial idea is to create a piece that looks similar to victorian puppet theatres:

Here are my rough sketches!

Very excited about this project!
