The many faces of Robert De Niro
Lazy photoshop after work
Trying to be bolder with colour, not sure it’s working.
Work in progress, super zoomed in.

Native.
Monoprint.
Reworking ideas for my Illustration class’ exhibition publication. Really wasn’t happy with my initial submission (likeness was off, and it was just a rushed, bad drawing in general. Plus, my course leader doesn’t like Nicolas Cage, which I cannot comprehend)
Hopefully this one is a bit better. Need to maybe crop it better, though.
Our Degree Show opens on the 26th June, just under one month (which is terrifying - have a lot I want to get printed/sorted better), so keep that date free! Can’t say I haven’t given you enough notice :)
The Coen Brothers: Interviews
University book cover/poster project. Hoping these are almost final. Need to add finishing touches to Akira Kurosawa and Alfred Hitchcock, then hopefully I can get them printed on Monday!
Any feedback before I send them to print would be greatly appreciated! Are there any bits which aren’t working for anyone?
Work in Progress images for a sequence based on a short story by Ethan Coen called ‘Destiny’
This project has changed quit a bit from what I originally intended - At first, I wanted to do a set of images of ‘in the ring’ events, and then a set of images based on all the stuff that happens outside. I wanted them to reflect each other, in a way. But then after many, many, many different tutorials and trying to explain the project again and again to different people who don’t know the story, I thought it perhaps best to stick to the in-ring bits. That, and the in-ring bits are more fun to draw, seem a bit more striking? This way, if they’re to be shown in our end of year show, hopefully the audience will understand/get what’s going on more than what they would if they saw images of motels and a man with a tube up his nose.
Now I’m trying to work out compositions and sizes, as well as a sequence. Before, all my images were just in square boxes - trying to vary it more now, with different box sizes. A few suggestions I’ve received from tutors were to make them be a series of panels. Not sure how I feel about that, as I wasn’t looking to do a graphic novel per se. But, here’s a look at how the images could interact with each other. Any feedback would be terrific. This project has given me such a headache, talking to so many different tutors and having so many conflicting ideas (I know they’re supposed to give different viewpoints, but none of them have agreed with each other), that I feel I’ve done 10 rounds myself!
These are roughs, to work out compositions and sizing etc. Really need to get a move on!
