Temps bon baisant nécessaire à Paris

Drawings at Musee du quai Branly - Stuff the French pillaged from ancient civilisations.

There was South American, African and Asian sections. The Aztec stuff was intense, the weapons were amazing to draw, the huge sculptures and tiny figurines. the first couple below show some textile patterns on aztec rugs, blankets, clothing and so on.

Some axes, staffs, bats with assorted spikey things poking out to damage mofos.

these were sweet.

We had to pick a headline from the list and make 5 rough images and 1 final image to be photocopied up as an A1 poster.

I'm pleased the last one and may end up making a better, bigger, colour version of it at a later date.

My final piece and the poster changed slightly from the design to the finished image, I reckon this was because I think of punk and the queen are two contrasting British institutions, so I wanted the point to be as clear as possible.
Black and white, you might say.

Can you feast for a fiver?

There were some good headlines put up, but I picked this one just because I had some ideas about how I could make it work using my image kit.

Other funny headlines were "Grandma came to watch me be a slut" which could have been interesting,

and one about some guy whose house got raided by the filf and they found a load of grenade launchers and explosives.

I did these in 2 batches basically..

batch 1 = A-K, M, O, P, S, T & X
I am especially pleased with A-D, G, P & S from this set.
Using different media, colours and selective collage is beneficial to the overall final look of these images, which I think are quite strong. I found that the yellow graph paper pleasing to the eye and I think it made my images more interesting.
In contrast, look at O, where I have drawn straight onto the graph paper. This image doesn't have the same impact, whereas if I had drawn the oatcake on white paper, cut that out and collaged it onto the yellow, it would have stood out more. Some of the others such as T are also a bit rushed and so don't look too hot.

batch 2 = L, N, Q, R & U-Z
In the second batch I started using felt tips, pencil crayons and markers.
L turned out pretty well, the main skin tone is crayon and the neck and boob shadows are felt tip. This worked out better than I expected really.
Q is wank. Would be acceptable with fineliner outline and maybe a bit of pattern. And if i could colour in within the lines...
I am content with W, Y & Z,
W & Y saw me using crosshatching technique for shading, I think this adds an interesting effect to the images. I could have done with carrying on with the sea in Y but my wrist hurt haha.
Z is mostly crayon, fineliner and blood red marker. It looks well scribbly like a really badly made comic but I think that adds to its charm more than anything.
