Graduate Show 2013!

So last night was the opening night of the Graduate Show 2013 at the University of South Wales, Newport.

The show is currently on at the City Campus in Newport and it's on for 2 weeks.

(my book was a little too big for the shelf)

Above is my show panel with all my details on it along with images of 4 projects (Final Major Project, Penguin book cover, Faces, Identity)

Final MDF Panels

Here are the final boards! I went in a completely different direction with the panels compared to the style of my final book (pictures coming soon) and although I'm used to working in a very constrained and I suppose clean way, that went out of the window for these boards and I just went for it and didn't think (much) of where I was going to place thing.

(I decided to start again on the robin panel)

Printing on mdf Panels - work in progress

As part of my projects I am printing onto some mdf panels, the panels are bout 4ft tall by about 2ft (ish) wide.

mdf before printing, I primed each board with gesso primer

Printed Canvas Bag - Meadowlark

I thought I would print a couple of canvas bags as part of my project, so the first one I printed was  a meadowlark.

Robins

Here are some Robins I have been working recently for my major project

Bee Pattern

Here's a pattern I've been working on recently

Birds - Meadowlark work in progress

As part of my final major project I've been printing a selection of birds, below are some prints of larks (Meadowlark to be exact) that I am currently working on, I am also working on prints of some more larks and robins (images will be coming soon). 

(I am aware there is foul printing in the image above)

Printed Owls

I have decided to move away from trees for a while and I moved printing owls for my major project, not sure whether or not I'll keep to the colours I've used or change them to more neutral colours.

These prints are for the poem The Owl by W.H Davies.
