The Cry
(pencil, colouring pencils, digital)
Recently I’ve been playing with the repetition of minimal designs in the hopes of creating more detailed images. This is one in a recent series of three, they were inspired by landscapes and the symmetries/patterns that exists in the natural world and the human body. I’m hoping to transfer this image to a wood block and do some printing later this month.

“I can’t see in this mess!!”
I had to pack light on my journey home for the holidays. I find it easier to get things done when there isn’t much choice around to distract my focus. I brought with me a single moleskin which I had been doodling in throughout the semester and have decided to rework the pen doodles I’ve scribbled down throughout the pages. This way I have a plan to stick to, no matter the quality of the work. In the end I want to find a way to make something out of each one, even if the page was used up by just a word.

See Gulls
Version 1:
Version 2:
During my holidays I want to play around with outlines of my favourite things and shapes to create minimalistic patterns. I needed a break from conceptualizing everything and just draw a thing or two purely for the fun and aesthetic of it. This is the first two I’ve made in a hopefully ever growing series. See Gulls was inspired by a photo that I took on the coast of Morocco of a huge flock of birds trying to catch their supper. There were so many in fact, that they practically covered up the ocean that flowed behind them. It’s a vivid memory that I will always love. I plan on printing this series on a long thin strip of paper and then block printing the original photo atop different segments of the pattern.
