STUDIO PRACTICE Project Proposal Name Blog Address Lauren Dennis Date 28/01/2016 www.l-‐dennis1316.blogspot.co.uk Rationale After I graduate I will be undertaking a Tattoo Apprenticeship at Oddfellows Tattoo Collective, where I am currently Studio Manager, for this brief I will be producing a Flash portfolio to ensure that by June, I will hit the ground running. I hope that through working there the environment will immerse me instantly and have an effect on the tone of voice my work takes, as well as providing me with primary research for this brief. I am already researching the industry thoroughly and developing a tone of voice for my tattoo work, this extensive research and development will make sure that I am as prepared as possible come the end of the module and the academic year. I aim to produce a portfolio of work, that can be bound into a book of paintings and drawings, as well as 2 A2 paintings of Flash Sheets, either separate pieces or of full back pieces. This brief provides a lot of transferable products, in which I can take paintings and develop them for merchandise and products, as well as develop my social media presence and branding as a tattooist. Themes / Subjects Traditional Tattoos and subjects within them: Gypsy Heads, Skulls, Death, Women, Birds, Nautical themes and others once further research into this area has been conducted. Nature Human Form and Anatomy appropriate for tattooing. Audience / Context Ages 18+ My bosses and other tattooists that will be coaching me in my apprenticeship Tattoo Collectors Possible clients in Leeds
