Final Piece - Disconnect/Join





My Final Perfect bound book in respose to the theme Disconnect/Join. The book is based on the simple idea that by falling asleep people forget there worries and troubles. In falling asleep we disconnect, being consumed by sleep in some respects is a welcome comfort, this is the concept I've tried to portray in the book. Many thanks to Gee for modeling for the original photos, probably my best book so far.

Thailand Sketches - 2010 Summer Trip





Here are just a few sketches that I did from my travels in Thailand this summer, my family and I spent 2 weeks away, 4days in Bangkok doing some frantic shopping and nagotiation and then 9 relaxing days in Patong, Phuket at the Amari Coral Beach. Amazing place to stay and the best 2 weeks, I thoroughly reccomend Phuket and hope to return soon.
The pictures are as follows (top to bottom)

1. Tuk Tuk - these are the standard and very quirky large scooter/flat beds that are the best way to get around Bangkok. The alternative in Phuket are pretty cool too! Pic to follow.
2. Elephant Trekking - while in Patong we were lucky enough to go elephant trekking, the photos of us on the move arn't great but I managed to get a few of Dan as he plodded off in front. Great fun but surprisingly difficult to stay mounted to the elephants especially when going down hill on their necks.
3. Blowfish - Big surprise to see this spikey fella washed up on the beach one morning when we were heading over to breakfast in Patong one morning. =)

Time to get back on track

A week until my last year at Uni begins....time to get down to business but having had such a great couple of months travelling and relaxing I think this is going to be a tough one. Time to step up to the plate and keep away from the creative avoidance track =) a drawing a day keeps the work ticking over and I forget how much I miss that so once again going to try and stick to that. So here goes.......
