Miroslav Sasek
I have always been a big fan of Sasek's, and I particularly love his series of children's books about cities around the world. The image below is an ace image of Victoria street, one of my favorite streets in Edinburgh. I'm definately going to add some of these books to my Christmas wish list.

First Book rough
So this is how far on I am with my Atlas book Adaptation of Ryan Braunds animation, but there are many alterations to be made. For a sneaky peak at few of the other pages don't hesitate to have a look at my flickr.

Back to work
So its back to college and my final year already feels like its disappearing beneath me, beginning the year with editorials. This editorial and the two complementary vignette images are for an article reviewing the book 'Tormented Hope: nine Hypochondriac lives', by Brian Dillion. This book includes people such as James Boswell, Charlotte Bronte and Charles Darwin. The image above is particularly relating to the story of Daniel Paul Schreber, a politician who went 'insane' , believed that god wanted him to change into a woman and that benidictine Monks had found themselves inside his head, amogst other things.
One of the hypochondriacs included Florence Nightingale, who often complained of her illnesses, often taking work to her bed for long periods of time. Three images done, just one to go, as well as the issue of printing.

Louis Roskosch
Found this work by Loius Roskosch today, and I found his characters so inspirational, the palette of colours he uses are right up my street. My particular favorite is this bear on a segway, which can also be bought as a sticker. More of Roskosh's work can be found here

impatience
For this weeks word impatience, I thought it a good opportunity to get back to basics and just do a nice observational study. I have recently really enjoyed just working back in my sketchbook and finding new inspiration from my time away. To view some of my recent sketches go here
