FABELHAFT

Using part of an old illustration for my coffee shop zine from university last year, text lyrics from Kraftwerk's "Das Modell / The Model".

I wanted to create something mainly black and white in the end after playing around with Photoshop on another piece; something not too fussy. I decided to add one colour (red) with the hard brush as a circle of rouge to implicate it's make-up or on a model's, or woman's cheek.

SANKT MARTIN

Since it is coming up to Martinstag (Saint Martin's Day) next month on the 11.November I took a break to create a portrait for the occasion.

A continuous line portrait of Saint Martin, the Roman soldier who cut his cloak in two to share with a beggar.

Made using Bristol board 220gsm no-grain card, Faber Castell XS Indian ink pen and the bottom two portraits, Photoshop for brush detail.
