Alter ego

Alter ego is a public art experiment. Our objective is to get members of the general public to produce art for an exhibition- proving that anyone can do it, regardless of their background/skill. All art produced was based on the theme of alter ego. you can view the pieces on this blog : http://www.alteregodraw.com/ . This provided the artists with a forum to open discussion about the work and their experiences with alter ego. the exhibition was held in Brixton market from the 26th of May and lasted for one week, here are some photos taken from the event.






penguin Book prize

This is my finished cover illustration for the penguin book prize competition (adult category). The brief was to design a cover for the book Perfume by Patrick Suskind, the story of a murderer who has an extraordinary sense of smell. The image is based on research of the olfactory system which is the part of the brain that deals with odour, it helps to distinguish one smell from another, can provoke nostalgia and even emotional trauma.
