Here are some images I have been working on for another project. A story about a bear......

These are for a project I am working on, a series of short stories set in a kind of victorian Edinburgh about a medical student. I have started looking at medical illustrations and have created a few sketches which I have then played around with in photoshop.

Ink Planet

I found some scraps of paper I had used for creating textures for another project and decided to create an image. This is a new planet, lifeless and unspoilt.

Imaginary Bookshops project

The past few months I have been studying another evening class at Edinburgh College of Art. This time I took a course in digital drawing. My project involved taking a webpage and coming up with concept artwork and a logo. The tumblr page I used was 'Imaginary Bookshops' (http://imaginarybookshops.tumblr.com) published by Claire Dean.

I had a play with the animation function in Photoshop to create a snow globe filled with books and tried to give the concept images a sense of movement, to compliment the falling books.

Stamp Bug

I have been collecting stamps at work from all over the world and have finally cut and stuck them down to use as backgrounds images.

Robot loss

I originally did just the one image of a robot looking out of a spaceship window looking sad and lost and then decided to draw a couple more images to give it a narrative. This is robot loss.

I have been playing around with charcoal and pen. I really like the hard lines of the pen mixed with the smudging of the charcoal to soften and add depth.

Illustration Friday - Travel

Illustration Friday

The bees seem to be enjoying my hanging baskets at the moment and it makes me happy to see them in a city centre. 

Surveillance - Illustration Friday

Being watched through a portrait! Kind of creepy.
