This illustration was on one of the many huge banners on Broadway street in New York, however i liked this one the most as it has a certain quirkiness and the juxtaposition of the diamond instead of an egg i also like the style of how it is a combination of photography and then a hand created looking background.

Lady hawke

Whilst serving customers at my mind numbingly boring job i came across these beautiful illustrations by Ladyhawke on the Beck's Beer bottles and instantly fell in love. I didn't know the lead singer Sarah Larnach was an illustrator as well as a singer. These illustrations were commissioned by Lexis PR, they feature four different designs created by musicians LadyHawke and Hard-Fi. In the past Beck's has worked with artists such as Tracey Emin and Damien Hurst on bottle designs

The messy watercolour painted over the beautifully detailed images looks sooo dam good !

Groovy shoe advert

70s dexter shoes poster from 1971

I saw this and had to put it on my blog i love the sense of movement and bold colours, its all very roughly drawn it adds to the rawness of the design. taken from the book 70s all american ads.

I was trying to think of animations that i have realy liked, and i remembered this persil advert, This was on quite a while ago, the robot is soooo cute! I just think its brilliant the way its done the advert is set from a young childs view of how everything seems so new and exciting as simple as being outside seems like a big adventure. This advert has so much feeling and emotion i think that has something to do with the music, and it makes me want to jump into a big muddy puddle :D

Liverpool 17th September 09

I was mostly intrigued by this sculpture the illusion of a never ending space.

Me, Beverly and Janet took a trip down to liverpool to check out the DLA Piper Series is this sculpture exhibition where there was also a silent disco at the Tate gallery. As you walked in you put on a pair of earphones which were playing funky 80's disco music, you could choose from two channels and there was a light up dance floor with disco lights flashing around the room you could have a "boogie on down" whilst looking at great sculptures, the disco setting was a huge break out from the audinary stereotypical exhibit, this totaly banished the usualy quiet, dull, mundane feeling of looking round an art gallery. This unusual spin on the exhibition made me look at the sculptures in a whole new light, i feel the music made it allot more interesting and slightly humourous as i could imagine the statues dancing around to the music. Aswell as being a great day out (and visiting are LJMU students union just because we could) it was definately well worth seeing.

Also What i love about liverpool is the beautiful old and new buildings

Tifenn Python

This is my first ever blog so it may be a little crap.. but here goes, my friend showed me this illustrators work a few days ago and i think its a good start as i realy like this style of work. Tiffen Python uses allot of delicate pencil scetches and combines them with distinctly coloured suroundings which give off a real sense of emotion and realy comunicates feelings through her style of working.

this is her website take a look at some of her images realy quite inspiring www.tifennpython.com
