pattern-lover.
Those drawings are some scanned in images from years back when i was on my foundation course at UCL in Farnham. I was looking at the shapes and pattern form the 60s and 70s to create a new approach towards the hype of vintage clothing in todays fashion.
I printed those pattern on t-shirt and other products.
I still like the drawings i produced back then but i wouldn't use them as fashion designs or as a clothing accessorize. Also i integrated some childhood memories by having a background made of squashed paint, just like we used to do it in kindergarten.

oona levasseur.
na na na haven't uploaded much in the last month but i am back on my work now so i can show you some stuff. I am currently working on a project for my good friend Oona, who is a french singer here in London. She asked me to design a flyer for her that she can use over a long period of time instead of having a flyer for every single gig. So i am producing a flyer which represents her and her music in general with some space on the back to stick the dates and places.
As she and her music is a representation and a way of converting the life in and around Camden with its problems and pains i am mixing those influrences to get the best possible endresult.
If you look up her music you will see how the type i have designed for the flyer has merged out of the romantic but harsh sound of her voice. The colours i am using are there to represent the depth in her voice and by using monoprinting i have tried to give the image more of a rough cut and to decrease the gothic tone which comes across using such an intimidating type.
I found it a little scary at the beginning of my workprocess to get started as Oona didn't give me any limitations or directions. She said i know her best to visually represent her which is obviously awesome but it put a little pressure on me to please her the best i could with the endresult. Lucky for me she loved my first drafts and now i am just working on the final design.
I am going to put up some scanned images from my sketchbook and some try outs.
Hopefully in the next few days i will put up the final design and i will let you know when i can proudly present the day my flyer goes to print. In the meantime have a listen on

Blues band at proud galleries on sunday 17th.
Uni is finished for now and relaxation is marked in my diary.
On sunday after unsuccessfully trying to buy a last-minute ticket for RJD2 in front of Scala we decided to wobble over to Proud galleries. As a nice surprise we discovered that there was a free Blues concert. South galleries had a singing/dancing talent show to offer, which quickly conceiled a lack of talent.
Wondering back and forth between talent and comedy was really lovely.
The two blues bands were amazing, as always me never taking a camera, i had to capture the moment on my crappy phone camera.
Anyway, I enjoyed myself so much I thought i share the moment.

bon bene.
so hello earlybirds. today I have to hand-in everything in one big bumming heavy portfolio.
Starting the day with a way too short night i have a constant grumpy-expression on my face right now. I dropped the old coffee filter on the floor and i feel dirty,
so all in all a great start of the day. At least now i am done and from 11 onwards i am like..."hmmm what i am gonna do?"
now i have time, a lot actually, starting my summerholiday now really, havent thought of that which is great. But i will keep up the work i have so many things in my head i want to do play around with. First comes finding a work experience which hopefully will be not too much trouble as i am applying in Germany and in England which could couse a little logistic humblebumble.
Woring and doing just won't be in such a horrible manner aka. long nights and short sleeps plus early wake ups.
No no no, a little rest is needed.
A new book is important. I proboably will go to little Bookstore on the Lockside today, A clockwork orange i finished yesterday morning.. real horrorshow to say it in the iconography of the book.
Anyway,it time to go in a second i am gonna finish this coffee, which hopefully won't spill and then i am on my way down to the east, were i will be allowed to unload my baggage and be set free for a little while.
Oh freesh.

bond unbound.
.
..
I have deconstructed a scene of the movie Moonraker (1979).
Story based on Ian Flemmings novel JamesBond.Moonraker.
and the Bond in this movie is Roger Moore.. I think its propably the longest film
i have seen in the last couple of years, made me laugh to and i have never known so much about Bond before so i educated myself a little too.
My deconstructiion of Moonraker, yes, its a little creepy, and personally i dont like Alien-films and science fiction generally,but i am very proud of my alteration.
It one of a kind, which is what i like.
Every student of my graphics course had to alter two scenes and all of those will be cut together and made into a big movie/installation.
The viewing of the movie is on
Thursday the 20/05/2010 at 3 pm. at the London Met Graphics Center on Commerical Road in the east.
I won't be there unfortunately,as i will be on my way to germany
but maybe somebody else can x

Beauty of decay.
.
.
the photography i just uploaded, are some photographs I took for my beauty of decay-project.
I was given this brief by a classmate for my Photography module, additionally from my personal project about routine and repetition I had to work on a brief about decay.
I pretty much just had to go around my estate to find objects, so I did.
So now there it is the beauty of my home.
I am happy with the endproduct. i hope you like it to.
