Here's what my drawing board looks like today. One side chaos with ink tests. And the other side is my latest character sketch for my latest little project during the Brighton Festival. I'm creating eleven new characters sketches and displaying them in Super + Super's window over the course of the month. A new character being introduced every other day.<br />
<br />
This is Bartholemew. He will be joining Angelique at Super + Super on Monday.<br />

Sorry it's been so long since my last entry. The studio has been super busy and I've just co-founded a new initiative to help fellow creative bods - <a href="http://www.theenquirydesk.com/">www.theenquirydesk.com</a><br />
<br />
For the last couple of weeks I've been putting the finishing touches to some Little Treasure pieces for Valentines. This little fellow is Corbin. He'll be up on the website later this afternoon if you want to give him a new home...<br />

Apparently the year of the rabbit should be a lucky one. My partner gave me this eraser ages ago - i love it. It sits on my desk next to my little lead zebra. I love the way the rabbit is jumping up to the moon. </span></a></div>Zara Wood aka Woodyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04270153361522005346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27583908.post-33197066457412815652011-01-07T13:33:00.000+00:002011-01-07T13:33:07.414+00:00Sailing through a Winter Wonderland...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOcQEvwCL1LZa95RjEnSDtJx_DU_jcDsb0F7SychiMxu2Uhxzle1rCLGtlKiMrBPGSLEZfEfljSdwz_rwJehyphenhyphenzIqOwyAgXR8cRZC2HWeB9yyEV3nOhX8Pi3Bcm2MREEM1u5dG6/s1600/the-story-of-aurora-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOcQEvwCL1LZa95RjEnSDtJx_DU_jcDsb0F7SychiMxu2Uhxzle1rCLGtlKiMrBPGSLEZfEfljSdwz_rwJehyphenhyphenzIqOwyAgXR8cRZC2HWeB9yyEV3nOhX8Pi3Bcm2MREEM1u5dG6/s1600/the-story-of-aurora-1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgloXLN04PCfLt_nyEfy7ahwYASP8GYtoDCF9fi1C1X0dK8xQSsBaae6oOdA_s1O3EBphV9KKsy9UfXK5EY80k-n2L29enb03YhMJxEMGTnIFPVCdy8HLcpZXN6pbVgT46dcJCa/s1600/the-story-of-aurora-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgloXLN04PCfLt_nyEfy7ahwYASP8GYtoDCF9fi1C1X0dK8xQSsBaae6oOdA_s1O3EBphV9KKsy9UfXK5EY80k-n2L29enb03YhMJxEMGTnIFPVCdy8HLcpZXN6pbVgT46dcJCa/s1600/the-story-of-aurora-3.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOcQEvwCL1LZa95RjEnSDtJx_DU_jcDsb0F7SychiMxu2Uhxzle1rCLGtlKiMrBPGSLEZfEfljSdwz_rwJehyphenhyphenzIqOwyAgXR8cRZC2HWeB9yyEV3nOhX8Pi3Bcm2MREEM1u5dG6/s1600/the-story-of-aurora-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"></span></a></div><br />

The Bretton Estate, home to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park since 1977, was designed over 200 years ago as a private pleasure ground. One of its 18th Century owners, Sir Thomas Wentworth, created lakes with small islands to house exotic animal menageries & commissioned a ship called the Aurora.<br />
<br />
Inspired by these historical events, I created an imagined narrative where the Aurora returns to the pleasure ground, carrying characters from distant lands. It was important for me to draw from the history of the site in order to create a artwork that was relevant to it's surroundings. <br />
<br />
The architecture of the visitor centre with its clever use of glass blurs the boundaries between being inside and outside – inviting visitors outside and bringing in the park. The windows become the perfect inbetween space, where we can play with another duality, the real & the imagined.<br />
<br />
Freeing the drawn line from the page, my illustrations are translated on into vinyl & run along the twenty metre concourse windows at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.<br />
<br />
At 3pm each day, I've been told that the Aurora casts a perfect shadow on the wall opposite. At the moment the drawings have the backdrop of fallen snow.<br />
<br />
The installation is part of my exhibition Mirror Mime, which showcases over 20 new works including originals & screen prints.<br />
<br />

When you are starting a new sketchbook, sometimes it's rather daunting knowing what you should draw - where to start. So we wanted to produce a range of well-made sketchbooks with emblems and characters that would inspire and comfort their owner. <br />
