Thank You! Finalisation


So hand in for the first unit is tommorow so I'm just getting everything ready. This meant doing a few bits here and there, mostly presentational stuff. Heres the final illustration for the 'Thank You' project. I went with quite a loose illustration style because, to be honest, i'm not great at drawing cars, so I thought i'd leave out the detail in this situation. Got the skid marks in there which were missing from the previous plan.

Presentation board layout with additional pieces for clarity.

The Great Red Shark

Pretty dodgy draw for uni brief. Crossing a Chevrolet Impala & shark in order to create a literal representation of the frequently used HST metaphor. Vrum Vrum. The idea is to create an instalation to say thank you to Hunter S Thompson. This was the car so often referred to in his work as 'The Great Red Shark'... get why I did this now? Anyway, the mix is inspired by my love of his descriptive language & extension of reality in his work so thats what I tried to do here.

Bits down the side. I had some difficulty with the picture, no matter what I did it wouldn't rotate. The first square is the front of the car, drawn badly. The second shows the steering wheel with the inscription in the centre: 'Hunter S. Thompson 1937 - 2005'.
