London Trip

Here are some sketchbook pages from the London Trip on the 12th of February. I have been in the National Portrait Gallery which was a very good place to draw as there are many things to draw from observation. I also drew in the Tube, which I might consider to develop for the final piece. 

Wimborne Market

During this project I have been working on location as a reportager. My aim of this project is to prove that narrative is everywhere. Stories are everywhere, I believe that everything has potentially a narrative. I have been to many places such as Acting classes rehearsals and performances, Markets in London and Wimborne, Tube Journey, Museums, Café's,... documenting people in these different places. I am fascinated by people in general, they are the main subject of these narratives.

Here are some sketchbook pages from the Wimborne Market.

Wednesday 5th of February- rainy day

The rain has inspired me to create a bigger scale drawing of a sequence of the rainy day starting from 10 in the morning till afternoon, when it never stopped raining! I used ink, brush pens, pencil and chinagraph.

Circle line tube trip - London

After being in London for the weekend, here are few screenprints I have produced from sketches of characters in the tube. I have hand printed into a concertina to create a small journey.

Brainstorm

Acting classes sketches

Part of this narrative project, I went to draw acting classes in their rehearsal for the performance they are working on. It was great to be there as a observer, recording what was happening and trying to catch some potential narratives. It wasn't that easy, but really enjoyable. I'm still working on the idea for this project. However I am really into doing a drawing documentary of events of everyday life. I'm looking for narratives into my daily journeys, I am the author of the stories that I record through drawings. 

Narrative workshop with Salvatore Rubbino

Here are few pictures of the concertina book I have made during a workshop with the illustrator Salvatore Rubbino. We were asked to create a narrative from our memory, which was great for me as I don't usually draw from memory but from observation. I found it great to work in a different way, I'm quite pleased with the outcome. The story I picked to illustrate is when I was a kid, back in Belgium when I went to the market near my village with my mother. The market had a big stand of animals, which I was fascinated by.
