ep: montgomery - change of plans

I've had a change of heart when it comes to my Montgomery book. Although I'd still love to do one for the future, maybe I can work on it more when I've finished Uni, I really want to make him into an Adult version zine. I just think it will be so funny, as his character is the 'grumpy' kind of cat, having him use expletives I think would be really hilarious. 

Therefore I am going to rework my Final Project into an adult version zine about Montgomery the cat. I have decided to do this because I want to challenge myself, and (kind of because I want to) also I think it would sell nicely with an adult audience.

ep: crits - my ultimate enemy

this year i have really struggled with my mental health, as i suffer from depression and extreme social anxiety. this has really affected my work and getting peer feedback by going to crit sessions. i know how helpful these sessions can be and i am disappointed in myself everytime i cannot bring myself to go to one. i am going to try my hardest to go to the next one, however i do try and recieve as much feedback as i can by sending it to my friends/peers over the internet through texts and such. and my flatmates, who are also creatives, help me gather opinions too.

so although i miss out on these crit sessions with my illustration peers, it does not mean i am getting no feedback at all. however, in the future, i hope i can overcome my anxieties and get better about talking in front of my peers as i know it is such a valuable skill to have.

ep: network rail finished wall & press release

and here it is! finally! my finished wall piece. i'm so happy with the result it could not have turned out better! i think it fits with the environment so well and i've had so many compliments on it already! the only thing i wish is that it wasn't hidden under the stairs, but oh well there's not much i can do about that! it just makes my work more of a hidden gem i suppose.
