Save Our Forests

This post is certainly not Art related but I am mad and need to get this off my chest in an effort to make a difference, even if the impact this post has is insignificant.
  As if the government weren't happy enough with making half of the British public unemployed and homeless, they then felt compelled to move on to the animals of Britain.
  I think it is utterly disgusting that the government are trying to make a fast buck, selling off Britain's forests. This not only gets rid of one of Britain's greatest assets but it's also harmful to forest dwellers such as the endangered red squirrel. One word: disgusting.

Final piece from "What Kind of Drinker Are You?" brief.

Here is my final piece from my "What Kind of Drinker Are You?" brief. I have really enjoyed this brief; firstly due to my love of comics and graphic novels and secondly because I tend to enjoy projects more when I am working to create an inventive way to educate people. I like to be able to think around a topic, considering facts and then creating a quirky way to educate - Generally I like using a satirical humour in my work, using a jokey tone to draw in a viewer but then hoping that the joke itself will strike a chord and help them to understand the message.
  For the background I have simply scanned in a page from a "Spiderman" book that I have at home and applied the "Cut-Out"filter to it on photo shop. I then adjusted the contrast and brightness of the image so that it didn't detract too much from the primary image. I really like this technique as I really like the visual that a paper-cut technique creates.
  To view one of my favourite artists of the moment employing the use of paper  cuts go to www.mycardboardlife.com. Philipa Rice is a fantastic artist who uses a really simple and quirky style to create really funny short stories. I am in love!
