On October 30th the nearly month long embedded journalism project with @IJADdance culminated with watching the performance of the piece at the Science Museum’s Late Night. The stage is set in a carpeted and heavily pillared area of the building. Interlocking taped circles adorn the floor, and hoops are held at waist height by taunt ropes […]

I’ve been working as an embedded journalist with IJAD dance company for the past few weeks while they rehearse and develop their performance for the Science Museum- which is tonight! As part of that, I’ve found the movements and subject matter very inspiring to my own personal work designing and drawing. Since I had done […]
As part of my continued embedded journalism project with IJAD dance, I wanted to have a look at some of the origins of the dance ideas and how they fit into my own ideas about Arabic experiences. Since a lot of the performance on the 30th is supposed to be based on the astronomy objects […]
As part of the Embedded Journalism project with IJAD dance (which you can read about here), I sat in on a rehearsal for the piece on Wednesday morning. I went to observe and see what I could expect in the final piece, but also to do some sketching so as to understand the direction of […]
Some submissions for the amazing Look for Longer contest, round two! The below are all station names in London – can you guess what they are? I won’t be providing answers though, as I’m hoping to find out whether or not they’ve been selected come October 31st, and I wouldn’t want to ruin all the […]
Some little digital bits and sketches from a really interesting illustrator training session with Tony Harmer! Most of these are experimenting with the tilda key and repetition, and the hardboiled egg is just a gradient- no shapes involved.
Fresh off the wonderful Alice in Wonderland Theatre experience, I was frantically searching through all my old work sketchbooks looking for the £2,000 worth of company receipts that I lost (kill me) and found these gems! I presume they are for a window we never did, but all with a very Alice in Wonderland theme! […]
Leslie Green was a British architect who was tasked with designing stations for three London underground lines under construction. At the time they were known as the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (today’s Piccadilly line), The Baker Street and Waterloo railway (today’s sensible named Bakerloo line) and the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway […]
A little Pinterest work for the ol’ day job. Can’t take credit for the style of these though; that’s all down to my wonderful colleague Danni. All of these images are pinnable.
Did a little light sketching this evening, without hope or agenda, and just sat down to see what happened. Played around a bit with putting watercolour down and then sketching loosely on top of it, and also had a look at hand drawing some typeface. What I ended up with were a series of little […]
