Things Took A Different Turn

I sat back and reflected on my ideas today... I just thought, how obvious. So I dived into something new, without much thought really. Looking at my Day of the Dead-esque masks, they are not a patch on the Mexicans', why send them a piece of work like that? The skull in this idea is not quite as 'in your face' as my other attempts. And I really wanted to include the text 'to death with a smile'. I have kept the ideas of flowers to keep the positive, happy and peaceful vibe I am intending to create.

This is totally different from any work I have done before. I think I like it :)

Creating Patterns

Patterns to be used with my skulls, although this will also inform the books for my Manchester Book Fair Brief...

I will be creating them from the basic flower shapes I used for the skulls...
