Glasgow and Oxford.
Two ‘architectural’ studies. Looking at different ways of collecting information.

Carbon paper, tracing paper, pen, pencil and collage.

The twins are turning 18. Lucky them.

Boy oh boy.

So I discovered textures and you can tell. This is me figuring out how to use them on photoshop. Drawings based on photos I took in New York and Madrid.

Textures from lostandtaken.com

Photobooth photos - what’s on your desk? Not all of these made it into the book. I want to collect them forever!

Arthur’s ID card holder.

“Currently serving as my wallet.”

Bea’s double-sided tape.

Students talk a lot about how much things cost. 

Rejected page for my book of pockets.

Rejected because it’s pretty horrible. The positioning of the hand and something about the smudge tool makes me feel a little queasy. I ultimately decided to reject this because of a conversation I had with Hannah, which went the along the lines of:

- When you have really good pages and really shit pages, should you mix them up to hide the bad ones, or does that just make them more obvious?
-Get rid of it.

She’s quite wise, really. Which may or may not have something to do with her owning a soybean keyring.

I was initially a little sad to reject this because the subject matter is Rose’s signet ring, and Rose was one of the more forthcoming of the people I asked to talk about what they were carrying. When it became more obvious that text and overt explanations were not going to feature as prominently in the book, however, though I missed The Legend of the Mullis Mule, my book did not.
