What better way to spend a rainy day than to set yourself a collage project. This project was about deconstructing a magazine and then reconfigure it into new material with new communication. My day was built around a copy of Vogue Magazine April 2018 issue.

'Connections of Memory' is part of a larger ongoing project exploring the relationship between memory and my environment, both real and imagined. This is a visual representation of how a ‘view’ (usually that of a landscape) sparks a sequence of memory and triggers an emotional response.
During May of 2017 I broke my drawing arm which has spawned a series of hand/arm related musings, the hand has become a recurring theme in sketchbooks and other work. As with much of my work, this has become an ongoing theme and this page will be added to over time.
The Surgeon that operated on my arm told me I would 'know about it' for at least a year - so I give myself a year to work this one out.
Always nice to work on some illustrated lettering and always a pleasure to play around with a few different characters.... however it takes stamina and determination to get all the way through to Z...
More to follow... watch this space!
