Carin Godberg - Catalog

Carin Goldberg is an american illustrator/artist.
She was born in New York City and studied at Cooper Union School of Art.
Poster design.

Catalog

I am particularly inspired by Goldberg's 'Catalog' in which she has took a American 1950's ordering catalog and selected bits out of it to draw she puts items next to each other which she feels shows some resemblance.

War Time Posters.





Just because it made me laugh.

Dame Laura Knight

1877-1970

Dame Laura Knight was employed during World War II to draw and paint the homefront.
The image above is in Coventry (local city to me so local I work in Coventry) in which women were working on a balloon site, which they let off these massive balloons to trick the enemy!

The Day I Was In The Newspaper

June 3rd 2010.
For my A level project I designed and constructed four separate garments from recycled fabrics.
(from left to right) Claire Robinson modelling light pink classic tube dress made from an old bridesmaids dress. Rachael Westmorland modelling flower skirt made from a piece if scrap fabric from the art room and "Peter Pan" blouse made from a bedsheet, Sophie Coggins modelling 'The Bikini Dress' made from her own pair of curtains and finally me in the corner. The total cost of these garments were £13.00 to make the lot.

The 4 Week Project.

Well... the 4 week project has took off.. starting with my first repeat pattern it has been a challenge but I have managed it. The Gum Arabic didnt like my fabric so it has to be masking taped down which was time consuming so.. it has took me 2 hours to lay it out and 20 minutes to print the first row.
Nice and Taut.
First Row. First Layer.


What It Should Look Like In The End.
