Illustration Installation

The guys from Coloursonic came to the studio today to install the artwork, they did a really good job because the wall is curved so it was quiet a tricky procedure. It was really exciting seeing everything come together finally, it was also quiet shocking and overwhelming looking at something I created at such a large scale. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome.

Another Unruly Night

Had another working night shift at Unruly Studio last night to finish off the hand rendered illustration, I had two special helpers with me so it was not too bad.
Now I just have to wait for the printers to finish their job and install the main piece, they have confirmed that they are coming to the studio to this on Wednesday morning.

Last Night At The Studio

Stayed working in the studio last night till one o’clock, I started applying the marker pen on top of my pencilled outlines. Going back to finish off tonight.








Also, we recived a test print from Coloursonic, just to check that the skin tone colours will be ok, and its looking good.

Project Update…

Last night I started applying my illustrations on the wall at Unruly Studio, I am hoping to have finished it by Thursday night. I am making a video of all the action so that will be up on the blog soon.
I have also been to Coloursonic Printers yesterday and given them an eps file of the chosen illustration for the other section of the wall, so I am hoping that will be printed and applied on to the studio wall by the end of this week too.

Print Quote

We have received a quote from the printers for the large wall illustration, I am planning to hand over the file to Coloursonic on Monday morning so it should be up in the studio by Friday 25th.

Practice On My Wall

I am planning to go and work on a section on the walls in Unruly Studio from the beginning of next week, so I thought I’d get some practice at home since I have never tried to do an illustration at such a large scale before.
I managed to cover one of my bedroom walls, which is 4.5 meters wide and 2.6 meters tall, and it took around 6-7 hours to do.
The wall I am covering with this pattern in Unruly Studio is around 8 meters wide, but it has 5 mirrors in between (see images on previous posts) so hopefully it wont take too long, I have given myself a week to produce it at the studio.

Before & After

Technical layout drawing of the wall the illustration will be placed onto, gives an accurate idea of where the work station and mirror will meet when installed.

Which Head?

Nearly There

After discussing which illustration will work best for my client’s studio, I have put together a clearer idea of what they are looking for. We discussed which elements of certain illustrations they particularly liked and combined them together into a new one.

Better View

New Mock-Up's

This is a rough mock-up to demonstrate how my illustration will fit inside the studio wall. The image gives a clearer idea of the scale of the final outcome.
I am scheduled to send the image to Coloursonic Printers this week and receive a quote from them on how much it will cost to print and install the piece.
Therefore, myself and the Unruly Studio teem need to decide which illustration is the one for them, very soon.
After the print has gone up I can add some final touches that are going on the other section of the wall by hand.

Another Possible Pod Image

Pod Image

I have put together a possible image to use on the pod at the show and on the business card, I am not sure if it is the right one to use, so if anybody has any suggestions on something else I should be using, your comments will be very appreciated.

Backgrounds

I have been working on some back drops to go behind the images, these are a few that I though would work well.

Another One

I think this is my favorite illustration so far, I stepped out of my safety box and tried to add a new technique to the illustration by adding some non-hand rendered images with my usual style. And below I posted some details because it’s a bit hard to concentrate on the whole image at once as there is too much detail to look at.

Another late night illustration to add to the collection.

Work, work, work...

I started working and experimenting on top of the actual photo's. This is the first illustration using the Unruly model, there will be more to come during the next week. Then I can decide which one will be sent of to print.
