FUNTRODUCTION Hello NAMELESS READERSHIP and welcome to the Professional Practice booklet. This book is a cyber-bound look into the past year of my life, a year filled with turbulent creativity and identity crashes. Luckily I’m through all that, for now, and I can present to you the most professional facade of my creative practice, filled with only the good bits of work and reams of self-congratulatory prose embellished with half-truths about my promotional prowess. However, it’s more likely I will be entirely honest. I was brought up a Catholic, and despite distancing myself from the more magical parts of that belief system, I still find myself unable to cope with the guilt of dishonesty.


WHO AM US? WHAT IF I? ‘What If’s’ drive my work. Simple one sentence concepts that can spawn imagery work as fantastic starting points for visual exploration. What if a man left his gun at the zoo and the animals got hold of it? What if a bee charmer led a swarm into a corrupt metropolis as an anarchistic statement? What if the universe had a baby? This curiosity towards bizarre storytelling brings my work into conceptually strange places, which informs my visual design. I like to keep my imagery vibrant and sharp, using simple forms to create characters. Character design is integral to my practice, creating avatars that I can use to explore my worlds. These worlds are ultimately extensions of myself and the things I love, poured through a visual filter for others to see, and hopefully, connect with in some way.



ELEMENTS OF MY PRACTICE HUMOUR ‘Illustration’ works as a legitimate platform for beautifully rendered imagery and somber pieces about hard hitting issues, but I find myself increasingly disillusioned by how saturated the market is with ‘safe’ pieces of work that look pretty but don’t function on any level beyond that. Therefore, I prefer to view my own Illustration as a form of entertainment and humour, to break through the boredom barrier

illustration is stuck behind. I want my work to be interesting on levels that aren’t based entirely on aesthetic beauty, but also ideas and content too. Having a bizarre sense of humour in my work takes it outside of the expected and into the realms of ‘weird’. Normality is antiprogressive, only by embracing the weird can we be truly innovative.

mashing up elements to create something that is weird and therefore ‘new’.

Asian cinema in particular seems, to me, to be at the forefront of intriguing storytelling possibilities. More recently, however, I have found a fantastic range of technicolour films from the 1970s that also display the same sensibility of strange invention and an odd sense of humour.


STRANGE BOOKS This collection of strange books that I have amassed from second hand book shops has been particularly useful in informing my practice over the last year. Dipping into these tomes can be both a blessing and a curse. There’s so much inside to draw from visually, but eventually it can turn into self indulgent escapism, to the point where the mental imagery becomes so overwhelming that it seems impossible to do it justice. Nevertheless, they’re an excellent resource, and fascinating to read. If I could replicate a small part of the intrigue that these books carry within my own work I’d be happy.



DAVID O’REILLY His animation work and general internet presence has been hugely inspirational to me. Through his work, he comes across as somebody who is aware of culture around him, and how it in turn influences the creator. The sense of humour present in his work is admirable, and his lo-fi approach to creating work has pushed me to discover my own way of using digital processes in unexpected ways.

WE LOVE KATAMARI We Love Katamari is an insane game created by Namco. Aside from the innovative gameplay, the visuals have had a ton of attention and love poured into them. The incongruous elements that make up the world of Katamari are, much like everything else, influential because of their weirdness.


SHIGERU MIZUKI I recently discovered his work and fell in love with his drawings of Yokai Monsters, creatures from Japanese Folklore. The drawings are beautifully detailed, but also contain comical elements. The two combined create a fantastic world that you can’t help but want to explore, touch, feel, be inside...

CHILD ART Drawings kids do tend to be a lot better than grown-up drawings, in terms of character and expression. I’ve put a lot of work in recently trying to undo the tightness of my pen drawing and go back to a more childish aesthetic.

FURTHER COLLABORATIONS CORPSE MILK I gathered a diverse bunch of illustrators (2nd and 3rd years from AUB, Kingston University students and Japanese Aimi...from Japan) to create halloween based comics. This was published in digital form. SECRET ZINE A zine I participated in, drawing images of visiting tutors Marcus Oakley and Salvatore Rubinno. I chose a few of the most cuttingedge illustrators in my course to be involved in the project, and it was nice to see that I made the correct choices. 1000% BUTTITUDE ZINE A collaboration of nudey drawings made for the NAKED Exhibition, put together by Elliot Coffin and I.

she was from Arts and Events management. Shame on her.

Jimmy, being the benevolent being he is, decided that he liked ALL the briefs and wanted ALL of them done for him for free, which was really kind of him. As time has passed, I feel that doing anything for him for free would be counter-productive in terms of making a living off my trade, and despite him being a very nice man, I would want to come into some kind of financial agreement with him before embarking on any projects.


NAKED! I was happy to be one of fifteen students involved in participating work to studentled exhibition called NAKED at OPEN SPACE gallery. This participation slowly became curation of sorts, myself and three other students taking the helm and setting up the gallery space. This was not only great for me as a turning point within my work, but was brilliant experience in organising an arts event, and working out where to hang pieces of artwork in relation to others. It was a wonderful weekly diversion from my general practice and an opportunity to work alongside peers to create something special. Curating this exhibition also involved working with Elliot Coffin to create a companion zine called 1000% BUTTITUDE: This zine contained sketches and rougher works from the ‘exhibitionists’ in the show. Gathering and designing this booklet was really fun, again learning how to handle a vast and diverse range of work.



ONLINE PORTFOLIO WEBSITE My main funtioning portfolio is my website, which I consider to be the most universally accesible means of getting clients to see my work. Creating the website has been useful in helping me to edit down my work and find the choice few pieces that both show my artistic prowess and represent me as a creative warrior. This

TWITTER I set up a Twitter account to promote my creative practice. I seem to be slowly getting more followers week by week, but I’m also quite unsure how to gain more, and whether I should be aiming for a large amount of followers or just specific followers of honourable repute (meaning industry professionals and potential clients). Most of the time it just makes me feel like I’m intensely staring at someone famous from across the room, but they aren’t looking back at me. But it is slowly growing, and hopefully by submitting work to websites to get featured, I can get more twitter exposure and become more involved with the online networking world.

COMPETITIONALS LITTLE WHITE LIES I entered a competition that Little White Lies was running to promote Wreck-it-Ralph. The brief was to create a videogame titlescreen in MS PAINT, with the theme being ‘disney movies’. I took a less

to

the

competition (something that, since winning it, I realise is the best thing to do in most scenarios). This didn’t win me any exposure at all, but it does sound more impressive than it actually is PLUS I won an Ipad Mini, which was a nice reward for about an hours work.



D&AD Some of the most fun I’ve had creatively during third year was answering D&AD’s ‘Make your Mark’ brief, giving myself just a week to create an outcome. Like the Little White Lies brief, I deviated slightly from what I think the judges are expecting to see. It was great fun, and directly influenced the shape of my work in the following weeks so much that I WOULDN’T EVEN MIND if i didn’t win anything, because the artistic repercussions were so fat with creative juices that my belly is now swollen from consuming it all. I would really like to get some recognition, though...


AWARENESS OF INDUSTRY Visiting lecturers and tutors have given me a fairly good insight into the financial aspects of practice within industry. Anna Steinberg’s lecture and following workshop regarding

commissions

and

pricing, along with the talk from the AOI about copyright have given me a greater understanding of the logistics of being a freelancer. Talks from Hayley Potter about self promotion tactics have also been a great resource. These talks have also aided me in my awareness of potential pitfalls that I can avoid, pitfalls I would have otherwise fallen into and learnt about through my own mistakes. I still expect mistakes to happen, but hopefully they’ll be significantly less dramatic since gaining this knowledge.
