Easter!?

So, I've finished uni for Easter, and I really enjoyed this term. It seems that the course is getting better (in my opinion), and the briefs and projects are getting more interesting as we get more talented. I like. So, now I'm off for a month and don't know what to do with myself. I went to the Library yesterday to find a book on the Queen (it is harder than you'd think to get a good, hi res image of the Queen like the one Jamie Reid used for the Se Pistols), and found this book called "Sticker City" about sticker-graffiti. It's something I've been interested in for a while, and this book seems to have a lot of information on how people work, etc, which is the kind of book I like - rather than just "this is so and so, he is good", it's more like here are artists, here is their work, and here's how they work. There's also a short section on methods, about artists making their own screens (for screen printing). So yeah that's good. Anyway, in between Scrabble and Jean Claude Van Damme movies, I've been sketching and looking to buy a4 sicker sheets, 'cause I really want to create some stickers of my own. Also, if you're on DeviantArt, check out some of the sticker work on there go through Traditional Art>Street Art>Stickers (or just go here)- ultimately inspiring.
In the meantime, here's this bunny character I've been working on. I should put more of my sketches up here, because it's weird how characters quite often become rabbits. Must be my undying love for Bucky O'Hare. If you had to hit the link to find out what that was, I am disappointed.

Peace! x
