Pigeons and Peacocks

^{My dad works in Soho so I sometime meet him for lunch arrange where he works, while waiting for him a came upon this small corner shop that sold hundreds of fashion and art magazines. I bought my first copy of Pigeons and peacocks which is a fashion and lifestyle magazine and website published by London College of fashion, the magazine is distributed internationally and has built up a loyal following worldwide due to its intelligently crafted inspirational content.}

 ^{The magazine I bought was issue 5 so I searched over the internet to find the other 4 and bought them at a decent price of £15 each. This magazine was the main inspiration and start up to my final project, The images were so strong on there own I wanted to create more like them but with my with style incorporated so I started drawing on top of the images giving the models scars and tattoos making the pretty bright photographs darker and more detail to them. I didn’t want to make it look like I just copied it so I used my light box that my granddad made me to trace over the image to get the basic layout then carried on created the image I wanted, but after that I still didn’t think just a print of that was enough so I though I could change the material I was going to print on. Something that isn’t so common but would work with the image so I came up with wood.}

I also find alot of my inspiration from a website called sweetstation.com It has new upcoming architectures, photography, advertising, random posts and of course art, it updates everyday and I always check it.
