Working like Quentin Jones

In a weird way i really enjoyed doing these little gifs, although i started them out on my phone and every time i made one the app crashed so i ended up doing them on the internet. i had to use fabric paint on my face cause i didnt have any other paints in, luckily it didnt stain me at all and jsut wiped off!
Its really weird to see this stuff covering you, it kind of gives you this new identity and as i said about Quentins work being like breathing illustrations, this is exactly how you feel, you feel as if you're just drawing an add on to your body.

The link above goes to an interview with Meredith Ostrom.

i found this artist after viewing the interview of Quentin Jones, i found it really interesting how she prints using the body, and just how excited she gets when she does it. its kind of giving me new ideas on what i could do with my body to make illustrations, maybe some life size prints of the body as a basis instead of drawing out the actual figure.

I never realised she was in the 2009 film Boogie Woogie, which i have seen by the way. She graduated from new york univercity in fine art and drama.

Quentin Jones

I recently found this artist who helped Miley Cyrus with one of her short music videos, she works in a kind of Gif format video, eeverything is a frame and the pictures are put together to make the film.
The work is really interesting depending on what point you view it from, im viewing it from a fashion illustration side, so when i see these video's im looking at these women who are living, breathing illustrations.

I think im gunna try and do a little video like this, its a really itneresting and new way to work, i just need to find out what paint i can use to do it.

here is the video she helped miley cyrus with, its definatly on her more...artistic side i think, its supposed to look like its about bondage but it just knid of gives this weird feel to it, i feel kind of voyeur when i watch it because i feel like i should be turning away, but your eyes are just transfixed in the effects she's used on her.

Celebrity remodeling

With my project moving on, i started thinking of downscaling celebs, making them look like people from worksop, i had this nifty little idea that if you dressed them right and then jsut dumped them in worksop, they'd blend right in. The first one i thought of for that was miley cyrus because im pretty sure every girl in worksop bases there life choices off of hers.
By that i mean dressing like a tramp.

But then i had another idea of creating these large outfits, and these outfits would be directly linked to each character they were modelled on. The first is miley cyrus - wrecking ball. tis ofcourse is based from her song, wrecking ball, in which she is naked riding a demolition ball.

then we have Queen Elsa from frozen, this one wasnt really making fun of her, it was more just a designers depiction on her, i really liked putting the lions head in there as a little head bauble, it just looks right. In a way i kind of see this beingsomething that Lady gaga would wear, mainly due to those whack off shoes.

third we have Ke$ha - Tik Tok, i kind of got bored with this one, which is why it looks really shitty. but meh, i might revisit it, but in all honesty i think her time in my book has fizzled away.

Finally we have Beyonce as the Queen Bee, it really annoyed me cause everyone thought this was lady gaga, even though the model is black? this one was kind of making fun of beyonce, it made me laugh when i showed her ripe old age of 32 by giving her slightly drooping boobies, coming out from her short top. I did this because i saw an article about Madonna, everyone was shouting at her because shes so old and still doing these raunchy, half naked shows. But if i look as good as madonna when im 55, then i'll keep my kit off aswell.
The idea behind Beyonce's outfit wasnt the fact that she is the Queen Bee, its the idea that no matter how old you are, the nudity you do will always be frowned upon because of age, Madonna for being too old, Miley Cyrus for being too young, etc.

Madonna is kind of the older miley

When you look at madonna, most people think, ew, put some clothes on woman, which kind of reminds me of the reaction miley cyrus has been getting, so i guess when you look at it from a similar point of view, they are kind of in the same boat, but both of them really just dont give a shit anymore.
These two women have both inpsired seperate generations in the way they dress, sing, record videos, everything. in a way its kindoflike madonna is handing down the mantle to miley, in a sense anyway. 

Worksop fashion

So i moved onto the idea of linking popular culture to things in worksop, to start me up with that i did some funny little doodles of people ive seen around worksop on a weekly basis, starting off with the chav that always has his hand down his trousers feeling his junk, yet claims to be completley "straight."

to carry on, we have the people that dress in clothes that are jsut... too small for them, (including me).
Then we have those annoying 15 year olds that go out on saturday nights in the skimpiest little dresses thinking they look over 18, when really you just look like a silly little troll.

Armour like corsets?

This is kind of being pulled back into my work no, instead of going off on a tangent and trying to relate everything to life in worksop etc.


I simply got this idea when I was looking at the burlesque, I was thinking of was earlier corsets would have looked like.
When looking at this, it looks like the type of armour a women would have worn, even though its not armour at all, it just has the kind of feel to it.
The roughness of it and the flat, solid look it has makes it look like it was built for protection rather than vanity.
This corset was from the 16th century, and was actually a corset cover.


Unlike armour, this corset isn't very ornate which is what I like most about armours and other corsets. they look like they're expensive to just touch. When you look at some they have all of these fancy etchings and designs on them, which visually makes them more appealing to everyone.
