Looking at lots of interesting vivid colours with this new work from Dublin Life Drawing in the last couple of weeks - sugar paper and colour pencils - recently reading about thew Scottish Colourists so I’m for sure seeing an influence here - plus the simple joy of colour I want to bring onto Mná 8 project.
Play with ideas for an illustrated diary - collaging words, ink mark, mini drawings I made - snapshots/frames of my everyday life in Colombia - looking at another way to show a story/idea about travel in a more interesting way like a zig zag rather than straight linear version - looking also at printing a series of images as zines - printed textiles - literally wear my drawings, it would be wonderful to collaborate with fashion designers on something like this :)
Getting back to my love of location /reportage illustration of Dublin views - this one scenic views of Dublin mountains- nothing quite like the fresh air and energy of drawing in situ with the wind and the rain adding to the image!
A Birdseye View is a choreographed piece as a bird, not a drone would view Athens, with precision. Honing in on the dichotomy of ancient versus modern life; the culture, the cafes, the clubs, the narrow streets with vendors selling their wares, the museums, the posh, and the basic living styles living in harmony in one city with a central sun the Acropolis. This is Athens through interpretive dance.
