Anthropomorphic...

...here are 2 sketches still in progress, they both need the human side of them worked on to give the child part a bit more character but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished articles...




In the meantime, I'm working on some promotional material to send out to agents and potential clients - it's a Uni project but nonetheless something I'll most likely use.  I'll post something up once I've got enough to show... till then, J.

Ugly...

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/3571081/piccola-jo?claim=axy34gv9xn4">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

The incredibly ugly link above is somehow supposed to enable my friends to view my blog through Facebook, quite how I can't imagine but my faith in technology is now enormous - so apologies for the lack of aesthetic value, here's hoping it works... in the meantime to compensate for the lack of beauty, how about a bit of my most favourite Fashion photographer, Melvin Sokolsky...

The Sign...





With thanks to the ever brilliant website Flavorwire for this little gem.  Never has such a joyous version of a terrible pop song been sung - the anecdote and dance moves has made me see Ace of Base’s 1993 megahit in a whole new light, enjoy... J.

Birth of a Blog...





One of mine from September 2011, it's a theme I think I'm going to carry on with, 
so there'll be more a'comin...



Welcome to my long-promised Blog...

...I had intended to start doing this when I first came away to University but I reckon my head was just far too full trying to deal with settling into a new place far, far away from family and friends - not to mention the weird shift of pace... and it was very, very weird.

I'm coming up to what feels like the peak of my 2nd Year at the University of Gloucestershire and I feel like I've done all my learning in the last 6 months.  It's been amazing so far - amazing, terrifying, hard work, stressful, joyous and puzzling, but I have, above all else, loved the ride.  We're required to start up a blog for a research project (see the tabs above) which will run throughout the 3rd year - once I got it set up, I realised how easy it was to get a blog going, so I decided to finally join the blogasphere (is that the correct terminology?) as I always said I would.

I'm not completely sure what I'll use these pages for, I'm guessing that it will literally be somewhere to post cool stuff I find or am sent, my own work as it progresses and general musings on life - no doubt it will gain momentum as I get more used to the whole thing.  I think I'm going to like it here...

...till the next post, J.
