Outside of my practice I have always been an avid doodler. As such and to get back into using the softwares after the summer break, I decided to colourise and digitalise my meaningless drawings, to give them some context. These could then be shared on social media to build a following.
Drawing is something I do as a meditative practice, mostly creating things that reflect current social issues or documentaries I have been watching / thoughts been thinking in general. The point of this personal project was to experiment with Photoshop and Illustrator, to see methods of taking a simple image and giving it a greater application. Even if that's just brightening someone's day.
1. 'Just some queens'
This was used as an outlet for experimenting with colour theory
2. 'The edge of the internet'
This short story was a reaction to the documentary 'Do You Trust This Computer'. The production was a fun short tale expressing the depth of the cyberspace world and how easily we find ourselves lost in it in todays saturated media culture.

3. Scrumpy Skull
Inspired by Pirate Radio after watching 'The Boat That Rocked'.
4. 'Ancestors & Aang'
Inspired by the hit TV show Avatar: The Last Airbender which I have been non-stop watching.
The next set were some responsive face drawings for possible tattoo designs. The focus was on geometric form and ideas of the coexistence of humans and nature, off the back of research conducted into the Anthropocene for my COP3 project.
