veal

A couple of months ago I posted about a piece I did for a collaborative project called 'The Big Skull Collab' (which you can read here), a new initiative by illustrator James Fenwick. Well I'm excited to reveal that the project has progressed and the images from the collaboration have now been put together to create Veal - an online creative zine!
It was so great to get the opportunity to get my work involved in this project and get seen alongside some other great illustrators (my good friend Natasha Aldred also has her skull piece in the zine).

You can view the zine here (my piece is on page 10, and Natasha's is on page 20!). I look forward to working on further collabs. Here's a reminder of my piece.

Skull

Recently I have been working on a submission for 'The Big Skull Collab' over at this blog. I found out about the project through twitter (of which mine you can follow here should you want to) from the good people at Illustration Rally who shared the link a few weeks ago. I sent my entry in yesterday and so I thought I would share it with you here (hoping I'm not sharing it with you too early!). The skull itself was illustrated by James Fenwick, the illustrator who started the collaboration, and the rest was all me - I wanted to go with the whole candy-land gingerbread theme I have been painting recently (you may notice a recognisable gingerbread man has snuck his way into this piece) as I found that it had been inspiring me. It's kind of crazy and a little bit overwhelming but I wanted it to be crazy detailed! and I think it'll be pretty different to all the other entries. If you are interested in submitting something for this collaboration there is still 9 days left before it closes and you can get more information from the Dead Fuzz blog.

 Will continue with this theme for another few projects hopefully, and I will soon be starting something type-based that will hopefully be very exciting, so keep your eyes peeled!

*edit 9th Nov* Just a quick addition to this post - if you'd like to see my fabulous friend Natasha Aldred's submission to this competition go here, it's a wonderful blog!
