skinheads and punks?

For an essay I have to complete over christmas for my elective in 20th century fashion which I have to base on two periods in fashion and then compare them. I have decided to base my essay on punks and skin heads, her are a few photos I have gathered together for inspiration.

Last week of term madness

So as the title says it is nearly half way through the last week of term and i have( of course) a lot of work to do by friday! Two deadlines in fact. So  I am of course wasting time on here, heres a few more bits of my lazer cutting work.

Some much needed thursday inspiration.

I have been in Uni all day, all week hense my lack of motivation mid-week. That was until I layed eyes upon these little beautys,

Manic monday

But I have had a spare few seconds to scan in some rough pages from my sketch book and note book,

Past times

Just found an old photo of my dad and auntie.

More beautiful book art

Recently while doing some research for my university brief i  have come across a lot of artists and designers who use books in there work in some way, here are a few i have fallen in love with, thank god i stumbled across them.

This is one of my favourite pieces by Cara Barer. Cara actually describes her self as a book photographer rather than a book artist which i find really interesting.

I love Brian Dettmers unique way of displaying his book piceces, it makes me think about all the different possiblity's there are of displaying my own work.

Casey Curran mixes wire animal sculpture and old book pages to create art work that is truly unique.

Another Casey Curan piece again involving this intricate way of portraying the animal form, love how the book covers are made visible in this piece.

I want my hair this ginger please

Historic revival

For my recent brief we were told to design a wall paper collection which was influenced by an art movement from the past. I decided to take my influence from the Da Vinci sculptures of the Renaissance period, we will then go on to lazer cut our designs in the coming weeks. There are a few examples of my rough designs below.
