Poetess’ Play(Digital Print, 2008)
Mike is a trainee Graphic Designer, studying at New College Nottingham. He holds a degree in Design Technology, but Graphics is much better. He is firmly of the belief that good typography is pretty much the most awesome thing in the world. Except his wife. Who is a bit more awesome than that.
He has previously exhibited in the Resolution Photography exhibition (2008), and has produced adverts, catalogues and graphics for mountain bike companies.
Poetess’ Play is a piece of sequential art, illustrating a song by the artist Tina Dico. It was produced by scanning paint marks, and manipulating them in Photoshop to give a textured, organic background. The foreground elements were pencilled, and then digitally inked.
The key was to convey the sense of loss and melancholia that pervades the song, and allow the lady character to experience a journey, while the more subtle representative aspects allow a deeper interpretation.
Mike is available for Graphic Design, Photography and Illustration commissions. He has not caught fire for a long time (note: this is to say that he has literally not been on fire – his enthusiasm for his work is all pervading).
