(The internet at home is SO temperamental right now I'm gonna struggle to get this to post)
Finally getting around to sharing some snippets of what i've been working on for my degree show. I've spent days and days researching and changing what I wanted to do till I reached the conclusion of doing this. I've seen a lot of eighties revival stuff going on, especially in fashion. I've been attempting to bend my degree to fit into the fashion box which is a really key factor for me. Luckily enough, my uni have an archive of all the back issues of British Vogue - including the 1980s - so i've spent a long time glued to the large scanner in the library collating all my visuals. I'm setting some stuff up to be screen printed and i've also been forcing myself to use a graphics tablet to make these drawings. It has so far been quite a stressful process, but very rewarding. I'm such an illustrator that sometimes it can be hard not having a piece of paper in front of me to sketch ideas out, but this is really exciting. Plus I can't wait to see what it develops into.
Song of the day: still listening to Wolf Alice tbh
(Silk, Blush and White Leather are my personal favourites)
+ and of course i've been showing Drake's new mixtape a lot of love too
