Cat Cleaner!

More posters from my Cat Cleaner project!

Went down to the crossroads...

This is my print and stich rendition of Robert Johnson. I took the image from one of the few photographs that exist of him. I suppose being photographed in his day was a very rare thing. I used blue for the print (for the blues naturally), and red for the stich. That represents the legend of Robert, going to sell his soul to the devil, and in return being able to play the guitar real good.

Marching on Manchester

A few snaps from the student protest against the rise in tuition fees in Manchester from last wednesday. I'm hopeing that the march will have had beneficial repercussions.

This is the soundtrack I created for the activating space project. It's purpose was to add to the atmosphere of the experience, to create a tension, and mystery. But after being in the space for a while, it was also found that it created a hypnotic peacefulness. The track was left on repeat for the full experience.

It was created with sound samples of the working process involved in the collective task of creating the space. This included sounds of sellotaping, cutting, footsteps etc. I reversed some of these sounds too, taking a nod to some of the great psychedelic music which featured reverse sounds; such as Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles, featureing its reversed seagull sounds. I then added a droney bass, and piano plinkety plonks. I still don't know how the bleeps got in though.

Latest graphics project

This poster is for my latest project in graphics.

We had to choose a crazy Japanese invention to advertise, this was my initial idea/development.

The invention i chose to advertise was the duster slippers for cats. There were others too which were equally as crazy and amusing.

I can only apologise to my Japanese fans. I got the Japanese text from a free translator site, its meant to say "cat cleaner", but its more for the aesthetics anyway.

Anothor apology, I know that "zhang" is Cantonese for excellent, not Japanese, but again, aesthetics!

This is a pretty fun project, and its a shame we've only got another week on it.
