The Thames Festival

2009-10-14T04:42:00.000-07:00

I worked for the company Art Burst at the Thames Festival in September. It was my first time at the festival and I'd definitely go again! Lots of activities and yummy food stalls:-) However, I spent most of the day making glitter fish with children passing by! Working for the company again in half term on a puppet workshop- will let you know how it goes!

The Tree House Gallery

2009-10-14T04:20:00.000-07:00

I have been seriously awful at blogging this summer. After losing my portfolio after my degree show I decided to take a rest from my art. So I thought I'd write about some other things I got up to this summer. If you didn't see this in Regents Park, it was a free gallery/ library/ workshop space in built in the trees! The project was funded completely through donations. I ran a short work shop for children there, making dream catchers out of natural materials. It was a lot of fun and a nice escape from the city!

Another Earth Listings

2009-04-28T03:40:00.000-07:00

This piece is on the subject of tourism and its impact on our environment. It's being used for Amelia Magazine in the Earth Listings. I really like doing these environmental briefs for Amelia, if i have time i might enter there competition to produce a A1 poster to help with one of their campaigns.

Completed rough book!

2009-03-25T04:05:00.001-07:00

It is not bound or printed yet because i still need to clean up the images and add text. But alllllll the drawings are done finally! I think this project might have an end after all!

Amelia's magazine

2009-03-16T11:45:00.001-07:00

Two posts in one day is unusual for me. However, i've just seen that an image i sent into Amelia magazine is online! I'm very chuffed! This image is the product of a very stressful last Friday. Not only did i have a job interview for a part time job, i helped my friend with hair and make up for her degree film and managed to put something together for this earth listing...phew! So considering it's such a rushed piece i'm very pleased that they used it. If you haven't had a look at Amelia before here's the link:

Daisy and the heron

2009-03-16T02:51:00.000-07:00

This is my main character Daisy and her heron friend. I'm about third of the way through this rough book now. I have started the main artwork but it still nowhere near complete! This is just a little sample for now!

lost frogs

2009-03-08T05:06:00.000-07:00

I lost these guys when my old laptop died on me and i was most upset. but i was looking through old emails and found the file in a year old message! So thought i would post them on here for save keeping.

Children's book progress

2009-03-05T12:12:00.000-08:00

Another project update, except i have cheated! I actually made this weeks ago meh! I really wanted to post the new collage work i had done for my book but it's all in separate pieces at the min so there wasn't much point. This image shows the style i will be making the book in so thought i would post it for now! i bought my website domain the other day! i chose faye-k.co.uk partly because throughout my life no one has been able to spell my surname first go, and partly because of the silly rhyme. When its up and running i will let you know:-)

Children's book progress

2009-02-24T10:29:00.000-08:00

Today i was very silly and left my portfolio on the bus:-( According to the lost property people it was found and i will hopefully be able to collect it from somewhere tomorrow phew! However, this has encouraged me to start scanning in my work, so if i have another stupid episode( likely) i will at least have some stuff backed up.

So here are a few sketches of my main characters so far. The children are just made up from my head at the minute and i hope to find a child to model for me to get arms and legs etc a bit more accurate. Lots and lots of work yet...

Fred Butler Style

2009-02-18T03:00:00.001-08:00

For the past month or so i have
been helping the designer Fred
Butler create some of her amazing fashion pieces. I have learned lots of random craft techniques and usually spend my Thursdays covered in paint, foil, wool, you name it! She is exhibiting at London Fashion Week so i will hopefully be helping her set up there tomorrow. Exciting stuff! If you want to see more of her work the website is www.fredbutlerstyle.com

The Little Red Hen

2009-02-17T11:46:00.000-08:00

These images are from a project i did a couple of months back for the children's story the little red hen. I really enjoyed making work with a narrative and i am now working on another children's book for my final project. I'll post some updates of this work soon!
