Rendered Fashion illustrations

I have applied my print designs to these two chaps. I'm using print selectively so as to create a wearable collection.

Fashion Illustration in progress

I'm working on fashion illustrations at the moment. I don't want them to look like historical characters, more like modern men who enjoy the past! I've picked up on the silhouette of the explorer to do this. I hope it will compliment my print designs which still need to be finalised and applied to the illustrations.

The Dream is Alive

An illustration of the first flight. Not too sure about the text. Think it needs something but not sure if it's this yet. It is an aviation quote so does fit the theme and blends nicely with the aviation poster I did yesterday.

Ordinance Survey

Quick and easy to do. Will probably do more of these for the installation, probably on folded paper like a real map.

Illustration/ Photograph tryouts

I have had a little play with art direction based illustration placing my illustrations into settings which convey a fashion lifestyle. They are only very rough at the moment to see if I like the aesthetic. I slightly touched on the mixing of these two mediums in the last project. I think I still have to play with illustration style and I have to get more photographs of atmospheric environments.

The top image background is from The Harmony Club in Alabama which was a gentleman's club converted into a home. It is a beautiful building and I'd like to scout for a similar location. Read about it here:

Fashion Lifestyle Installation Practise

I went on to accessorise the furniture to portray a fashion lifestyle through an installation piece. It is only a practise at the moment as I will use rugs and wooden floors opposed to the grass but I feel the tones and textures work well.

Busy Weekend

Last weekend I got to work turning my digital print samples into upholstered furniture for fashion lifestyle. I bought two chairs and recovered one and made a removable cushion pad for the second. I also made a plump overstuffed cushion which, like the pad was piped, a new skill I have learned.
