vis com: initial sketches

started off by doing some initial sketches to get my head around this crazy guy called timothy leary. he's so interesting!!


so i started off with what i think is the basics of what everyone probably thought of to do. (good one beth) i know straight away that i dont want to just go with the flow and do something boring because he had such an interesting life!! no psychedelic basic hippie stuff i want to add more about his personal life.


a really cool phrase that he had!!! i really like this phrase, its short and simple but is quite powerful and i would like to incorporate it somehow but now just by using text because i want to use imagery too.


a bit more personal about his first wife. i like the imagery behind these images but not sure if i want to go with such a heavy subject, he was such a fun energetic guy i dont want him to be portrayed by the death of his wife.


some little imageries which i didn't like too much, and the famous rock brain. i'm sorry, my brain looks so terrible i dont even know what i was thinking.


cute little mushrooms!!! i really love drawing mushrooms, i dont even know why it's just so fun. i think these represent a lot about him as they were his first try at drugs so they have meaning.


this guy launched his damn ashes into space !!! like what ? that's bloody crazy. i wasn't quite sure how to represent ashes in space, so i thought the little grave motif was quite cute.


some more little bits about him. not too crazy about these ones either. the balloon represents the fact that he wouldn't have any medication for his cancer other than marijuana and helium balloons, he was overall a pretty chill out doooood.
