Mixed-media: fine-liner, white pen and string

Front cover and double-page spread illustrations for the short story Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, a story based on government control and the power of television in a future where intelligence and beauty is handicapped. Sophisticated adult audience. 

Jumble

Playing with scale and symmetry, I created these two striking illustrations out of ten interesting objects.

Rapunzel

Final piece for my Fine Art drawing workshop. Mixed media drawing created using charcoal, chalk, watercolour, tea-staining, thread and lace.

Let down your hair

Continuing to develop my Rapunzel character I experimented with the form of her flowing thick cascading locks, enveloping the figure with her intricate hair to create a provocative, sensual image.

Lace Windows

Feedback from my stab-in-the-back drawing inspired me to create a Rapunzel character. I experimented with lace to form a decorative window frame, using tea-staining to create an aged appearance symbolising the passing of time as she awaits rescue within her tower prison.
