So yay! After my portfolio interview tomorrow, Uni is finally over! And what a full on year it has been. Probably one of the most chaotic years of my life so far... except maybe moving house during uni and having a PC that crashed all the time when I tried to do my essays. haha. It has been so full on, almost like I have been constantly drawing and under the pump for this entire year.

I'm looking forward to going away in January, that is if I don't get a job before then. I would like to have a break, but I feel so redundant not doing anything, apart from working at my local supermarket, which pays the bills, but is the least bit exciting, unless the local crazy comes in and yells at everyone...

I'm really looking forward to the exciting things coming up. Hopefully I don't get too anxious in the mean time and learn to relax and enjoy a break. I have the rest of my life to enjoy full time work...

I'm a bit nervous about the possibility of moving interstate to find work. I have always called South Australia home, and the idea of living somewhere else still seems a bit surreal, but also exciting.

Anyway, here's some of the work I have been up to over the year.

Oliver

So I have completed all my illustrations for my story book Oliver!! YAY! I now need to add type and fix up my cover design. We have sooo many assessments coming up this week, it's madness! Here's a preview of a few of my pages from my story

I am sooo excited to finish my degree in the next few weeks!

Illustrating an illustration inside an illustration on an illustration...

Yay, so uni holidays are almost here! I'm so excited to have a day off, but I will be working fairly solidly throughout the holidays to get stuff done! Here's what I have been up to this semester...

Underwater vehicle design for game/animation. CONCEPT STAGE.

My final identity concept

business forms...

32 line drawings for my story book 'Oliver.'

And I have begun the final renderings of my book. So it has been a very productive semester, I will have plenty more to include in my portfolio when we are finished.

This weeks lecture was about where to go next year, and we had several speakers who have previously done this course. I am thinking of doing a 12 month diploma of visual arts and design to help me establish my own business or prepare me for the real world by working with real clients. Things are looking good.

Last Day of Winter

Yay! It is the last day of Winter in Australia! So excited, spring is on its way!!

As a little treat for myself, I was considering buying these books...

All the books are created by FL@33, a visual communications studio in London. I only discovered this studio this morning, the work they do is incredible! It would be amazing working for a studio like that! Combining illustration, typography and craft! just wow! It would be great to do something like this in Australia!
