The Gentleman Octopus

A preview of a new character within the large illustration I am currently working on.

Water Spirit / Mermaid

This wonderful creature is the only model I've made so far that exists in water. She gets creeper the longer she is in there. Looking rather like something belonging in the Pickled Library at the Natural History Museum.

Newest Model

Here is the first image of my newest model, she is based off of a model I made for my dissertation to be used in a larger illustration.

Paper Sculpture

I created this for an exhibition on experimental illustration and is now featured on the Worcester Uni website here

An unusual walk

Went on a walk and took a selection of models with me to experiment with them in an outdoor setting including my latest maquette. These are some of the resulting images.

Snapshot

I realize I haven't updated recently so here is a snapshot of my workbench at the moment. I am working on an illustration of which I am pushing the number of models that can be present in the image without the illustration becoming too crowded or just a photograph of 'dolls'. These are the characters for it that I have finished at the moment, still a lot of work to do yet!

Facebook Page

I have a shiny new Facebook page of which you can now follow my work progress at facebook.com/steampoweredfish

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek at the most recent model that I have finished! She will be part of an illustration that I am currently working on. Hope you like her!

Steam Powered Fish - Mermaid Sculpture

I thought it was about time I created a header for this blog! So I set out to make something that had an obscure link to Steam Powered Fish. Heres hoping you like the result!

Happy New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year and welcome to the year of the rabbit! This is just something I made quickly today to celebrate the new year! Hope you all have a great year!

The Golden Parent

Illustrations for The Golden Parent being written by Islay Downey hijk.co.uk and Kim Furnish.

Project Fairy

Project Fairy is part of an ongoing project, these are some of the current illustrations for it. Unfortunately I cannot go into to much detail about the project itself, but I can say that it takes the perception of fairies back to it's original roots where fairies are quite scary beings.

Dissertation - Sculptural Illustration Experiments

The work I have done for my Dissertation experiments with outdoor settings for sculptural illustration. I also experimented heavily in how to design and make the hair for each model, looking into string, thread or just using Sculpey or plasticine.

Sculptural Illustration

I made a radical decision over the summer to move into Sculptural Illustration and here are the first of many resulting images.
