Misaki Kawai

While I have not seen your i-stop piece, I have heard about it and thought this would be right up your street. It is so theatrical and quirky. Misaki Kawai has many strings to her bow. She was born in Japan but works now in New York, she currently strives to make work which keeps the innocent, honest integrity of adolescent playfulness, but on a more grand and sophisticated level. Here is video link of an interview with her.

Produce a pattern/design for Mulberrys London store

I am to produce a pattern/design for Mulberrys flagship London store in Illustrator, it will be applied to the store walls, vinyl cut as a window display (4h x 12w) and to be made into a huge carpet for the store. The design for each should feature the same elements and colour way. I am to not to use texture and look more on line, shape and partterns. Mulberry is a luxuery brand in the uk, they range from bags, wallets, womens and mens clothing, travel accessories and home furnishing. There desgins have featured in Vogue and Talter Mulberry combine cool of the city and the countryside and upto date. The colours I am thinking of working with are mouse grey, burnt orange, dark rouge noir. Also I seen the 2010 collection for Mulberrys and the theme is fairgrounds.

This my pattern I produced it first in photoshop, I draw it and scaned it in and repeated the pattern, then produce it use it Illustrator - eek.



Toffee apples are a right treat at fairgrounds and I like the pattern of these apples and found little patterns of little carousel horses.

Erica Wakerly is a contemporary interior designer, I really love her work.

Contemporary Studies: Post-modern

(Art Modern Art 1945-2000, David Hopkins,page 107)
Post-modernism means post war after war & cerebration of difference & human identity. Postmodern artist sometimes use early modernist, like classical work & combine them to create something new.
Post-modernism started in the 1960s when new forms happened, new art such as pop art, bright colours, mixed photography, paints & drawing. Global started with cultural identity race artistic techniques, mixed media & new commutation technology, such as mobile phones, satellite TV & internet.
‘Like other postmodern works, requires that viewers add their own interpretations for the work to be meaningful. Rather than assert absolutes’(post-modern).
Post-modern art obtains individual meaning of personal stories that responds with awareness.

Animation Day

This my animation called 'the magic carrot' from I stop motion.

Love this video from the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the way she dancing and the glitter at the end of the video, it's not an animations but I think it will help me when I'am creating my animation for my dancing horse.

The ABCD pop up book, my maths tutor showed my this, I like the movement and each letter has a different pattern and texture and each letter pops out.

I am loving the animation on this music video Ladyhawke, Illustrations by Sarah Larnach and also check out this blog http://wefindwildness.blogspot.com/ its pretty good blog, its got loads of mixed media from Illustration to music.


I love the movement in the opening sence to Juno, loose animation in this and the music goes so well, so cute.

For my I stop animation my plan is going to based on a theme of a horse, for the background I am going to link it within the figure of my Horse with sound effects or music, my animation is to responds to words that I got given- I am going to produce a 'dancing' horse moving with disco beats.. I have made the Horses head out of paper mashe as I did with my last brief on Little Red Riding Hood, I have found a really good book called Tangible, some amazing funny images that going to help me loads & found some good animation that I put on my blog.
