Annie Hall

Here's something in the pipeline...the lovely quote said by Woody Allen in Annie Hall. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with it yet. I've put the quote into the original poster format with the same font. NO IDEA what I'm going to do with the image that's on the poster. Don't think it will work being cut out of paper so may leave an empty rectangle where the image should be. Duno!

You Jump, I Jump, Remember?

So here's the other A1 piece of the series: You Jump, I Jump, Remember? That lil gem of a quote from the tearjerker that is Titanic. I had a trial day at Rob Ryan's studio in London last Tuesday and showed him some of my work and he said that I should go a lot larger than A1, but we'll see how much time I have if I can whip one up. Again....sorry the picture is useless!

We'll Always Have Paris

Here's a cheeky preview of the 1st A1 I've completed of the romantic film quotes...Just three more to go!

Film Quote Trials

Notting Hill

This one was made of 6 layers as it's difficult to link the ascendants and descendants on the lower case letters so support each other in each line.

Casablanca

Titanic

These are awful pictures I know so apologies about that, will do them properly soon. These are some of the designs I've been creating for my new project. I'm using romantic film quotes in white paper to reflect the romantic and innocent qualities of the material. The type I've used are all from the actual film posters so I've tried to keep them as consistent and relational to the film as possible. These are all A5 trials, but they will be enlarged to A1.

Rob Ryan Exhibition in Stafford

So here he is again...Rob Ryan, a hugely influential man for me! I happened to be in the area at the time visiting my boyfriend over Christmas, when I found out he had an exhibition on in Stafford, which I was thrilled about. The work was incredible with a variety of mediums from paper cutting, tapestry and silk screen printing. The photos aren't great quality I'm afraid, I didn't have my camera with me so these are from a mobile.

Here's the website if you would like more information on the exhibition and Rob Ryan:

Lori Danelle on Etsy

I have recently been introduced to etsy, which I LOVE. You can find beautiful vintage or handmade items on there from all round the world. When I should have been doing my dissertation I came across this little gem that is Lori Danelle. She custom makes cut outs of your fingerprints; amazing personal and stunning work.
