Here is the undercover to my London book. can you see what it is, the shape of london town of course.

A EMPTY SPEECH BUBBLE. A DRAWING I DID FOR MY BOOK. (NOT FINISHED)

This was APFEL studio did a lot of work for the tate modern with exhibitions. Seemed to work with fairly tight informative briefs producing mainly typographic outcomes. Lots of in depth research into their projects which shows in the work shown to us today. It was all very clean and heavily screen based work, it all seemed very nice, but i think it was a little all to serious for my silly childlike brian i have. I did respect the work but i do believe that type of graphics is not for me really. I did enjoy seeing the studio space though and also seeing how they worked as a team, it looked really nice and close.

Today was really inspiring and informative making it a bloody good day out in london. In the morning we visited somerset house to the pick me up graphic art fair which was really good. There was a lot of illustration pieces there which were really great and took great inspiration from them. I really enjoyed seeing the working studios that were there also, they excited me for life after college knowing i could just get that lucky break and end up in somewhere similar to the studios i saw today.

The spaces were really enjoyable to walk around and look at the different gallery spaces and the different environments that each company had created to display their work in the best light and reflect their personal styles within the space it was really cool.

Ryantown was my personal favorite, i have liked his works few a few years now and to be able to see him working away in his little studio at the fair was really exciting for me, and i suggest anyone who enjoys his work or interested in seeing it go and see him here at somerset house its brilliant. He was is witty and full of normal thoughts and feelings that everyone gets and you can relate to a few of his illustrations if not at least one...I enjoyed the Print Club also, it was nice to see people silk screening as it's a thrilling instant satisfaction process so it was good to see the prints coming straight from the print table as they were being done. The space also had some brilliant prints surrounded it and i would love to get into the print room more now, hopefully i will be able to so with this FMP. I really enjoyed the hand drawn pieces more so than the digital outcomes here, i am a massive fan old the old tecniuqes and original processes more than digital processes...always will have this belief.

Here are some photographs from the morning at the fair of the things my eyes and brain enjoyed the most which made me feel happy inside. They were all taken this morning, enjoy...

PRINT CLUB

EVENING TWEED Really nice little space they had here.

This printer below was amazing to watch working also today. You can pick them up for a few hundred pounds, but the ink drums are hard to find and when you do they cost hundreds of pounds more. But really a truly cool piece kit and would love one in my room. At the time i took this photograph it was printing a third layer for a series of comics shooting them through at such a fast pace and had really brilliant final outcome. The printer is a RISO RP 3700

STATE OF MIND LINK LOOK WOOO!!!

Had a really fun few workshops today making booklets and monsters got a few ideas from them for chapters in my book now so im glad i went along. It was a great load of laughs at college today thank you darren and jo...

This is a booklet me and gus winter made in the morning aswell...i enjoyed the task and made a nice little outcome. In the afternoon we made a giant chicken wing, pictures to follow.

thinking of some sort of mapping routes through london, maybe leading to dead ends taking people to places they would never think of going before. hmm thinking its a tricky one!
