Firstly

Over the past couple of weeks I have been going to different museums and gallery's- some that I have not been to before. It's inspiring to see artists work and think about how you can adopt something of theirs and make it your own.

I have also been practising different drawing techniques with different mediums to see what I like and also what works best for me.
I am trying to break away form the "neat and tidy" look all the time, also trying to make thing more simple, because sometimes more of a message can be received.

I saw a couple of artist's work recently including: Cy Twombly, some from the Jerwood Drawing Prize, "Dreaming with My Eye's Open" at the Novas Gallery in Camden and the latest exhibition I have seen was at the Dulwich Picture Gallery- "What are you like?".

With all of these artists I have a big combination of ideas and and reaching out of the comfort zone of not working bigger than A4 sometimes.

For Illustration I have just completed a painting relating to the "What are you Like?" project.
I will be doing illustrations for four headlines which include: "Football Fan Brother's Die in Road Crash", "Angie buys Knife for Mad, six". I am going to see if I can incorporate some surrealist elements.

Graphic arts, my project is based on journey's and environments. Mine and other people's and what is acknowledged as a result. Looking at things like graffiti, pictures, sculptures/ installations, even what is collected on a journey.
