Final Photos

After much trauma I finally handed in my project. WOO! Here are some photos from my shoot with my lovely model Alex Oliver, photography by Paul Astley:

RuPaul Project

So I have been very lazy posting... But also very busy! My RuPaul project has progressed but there is still an awful lot to do.

Throughout my project I have learnt to vacuum form, weld, angle grind and use a machine that I can't remember the name of ( but is essentially a metal mangle that is used to bend metal). Angle grinding is my favourite since who doesn't love crazy sparks everywhere?!  

As well as my costume I am making a silver tree of wires, which is why I have been welding. I have enjoyed this the most due to the lack of measuring needed for my design, which also means that I can just get on with it. Still not finished but it's mostly there. 

Here are some photos...

Photo Time

Alongside costume and set work I also like to take photos on my travels. This is something that needs a bit (a lot!!) of practice, so hopefully the difference will show in a year or so. Here seems like a better place than any to start sharing some of them!

Living in London I get to do a lot of cool things. On Sunday (5/7/15) my Sister Katy and I went to Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park. We saw lots of bands and danced in a paper Tuborg mansion. Our favourite was seeing David Guetta. He was all of the fun, and looked so tiny on the huge stage!

I took this photo during his set on my rubbishey phone, as you can probably tell. I wasn't risking taking a nice camera there.

I didn't take any others as I was too busy having FUN!

This next one is cool just because, I work as a silver service waiter and last week I had a shift at Wembley for an ACDC gig. I had a sneaky watch of their opening and it was pretty darn awesome. Also taken on my phone since I was technically working.

Adaptation: RuPaul for Viva Glam

Summer has arrived!

Along with the motivation to begin my adaptation project. After overcoming the initial wave of dread, I have finally started researching and drawing up some concept art pieces. 

I wanted an excuse to use lots of glitter, so from this I decided to design a costume for drag superstar RuPaul; reinventing her MAC make-up Viva Glam campaign. 

These are just my starting point. I expect them to get much brighter and more fabulous!

42nd Street Photos

Hello!
Here are a few photos from the 42nd Street set. I never thought I would hate floor as much as I did during this project. If someone asks you to make floor, say NO! You will loose your sanity. But hey, that is one mighty fine floor...


:D

The Looking Glass Wars for Kylie - designs

Since posting my costume photos, I thought that I would share some of my design work.
One of these is a collage, the other painted acetate.

Enjoy!

Costume:The Looking Glass Wars for Kylie Minogue

Today I played catch up and FINALLY took some photos of my specialist pathways unit. I designed and made a dress for Kylie Minogue based on the Frank Beddor novel, The Looking Glass Wars. This is possibly my favourite book. I advise anyone who is into fantasy/adventure genre to check it out as it is AWESOME. I also decided on this project due to my Love for Kylie and her beautiful clothes!

Here are a few of the photos I took. Thank you very much to my model  Livi Wilmore. She is also an animator so check her out!
