I am not a photographer.

I realised I should pursue the whole cut out standing up idea. And I love the look of making paper cut outs, and the way they stand. I am however not a photographer, I do not possess great skills in capturing their charm. And once they are photographs I am no longer excited any-more. I need to figure out how I really feel about this. For now I am going back to drawing.

Way tooo much.

I am having the exact opposite problem for the Bloody Chamber, I may have gone a bit doorframe crazy. I like the idea, and I like the shape created it just hurts eyes.

Something missing.

I put these images together a little bit in a rush. The image is nice. But it isn't fun, it isn't exciting. And i need to do something about it.

Matthew Richardson

Matthew Richardson - the winner of the last House of Illustration/Folio Society comp came to talk to us. His work is really interesting, and i especially liked his winning entry, the composition is so perfectly balanced with fine detail and empty space. He talked to me about my work and suggested more cutting out, perhaps using just white card rather than it coloured.

Corridors of doors.

Ten wolves:Twenty Wolves.

I've been drawing lots and lots of inky wolves. Developing from the line of the story i chose. I also then started to stand them up, in a similar way i did with the collections project. I think this has very exciting possibilities. I just have LOTS to cut out...

Boots and Eyes and Bums.

The Company of Wolves and Puss in Boots

I found these two stories much easier to get follow and explore. I like the idea of a vast amount of wolves for the Company of Wolves. And perhaps finding a less dark element to Puss in Boots as i found it the least dark story.

The Bloody Chamber

I have found this story really hard to read, yet it does have lots of visual potential.

I really like the above line, and the idea of a dark winding corridor.
