Saturday, 25 February 2012. Taking Stock One Year On . Prophetik AW12: Illustration for Amelia's Magazine.

GillyRochester: Shanghai sketches 1

http://www.gillyrochester.com/2014/05/shanghai-sketches-1.html

Thursday, 1 May 2014. Some oil pastel sketches from the first few days in China, in Shanghai. I used a tiny Chinese A6 journal, with hemp/bamboo pages, and clumpy oil pastels - not only clumpy but cheap, poor quality ones that I think are about 20 years old. BUT I found this unexpectedly liberating as I had to be bold in a small space and had no fear of wasting expensive materials. Posted by Gilly Rochester. Thursday, May 01, 2014. 1 May 2014 at 22:25. 2 May 2014 at 12:44. This is the illustration I did ...

I decided to submit a 2nd single cover design, in addition to the Elbow one in the previous post. This was for Jake Bugg's 'Strange Creatures'. Both images were layered/collaged on to a gouache and ink background and some linework added digitally - this was to suggest both telephone wires and a guitar's strings and frets.

Monday, 18 August 2014. My 7 drawings and sketches for days 8 to 14 of #Drawing August over on Twitter. What a joy this has been on every level - wonderful drawings by others, much interaction via 'favoriting' and retweeting and tweeting replies and responses. And what a ragbag of styles I manage!

Monday, 25 August 2014. DrawingAugust 2014 Week 3. My 7 drawings for days 14 to 21 of #DrawingAugust 2014 - somehow involving China, France, Switzerland, Greece and Yorkshire this time. I didn't realise. It has been wonderful browsing through all the other #DrawingAugust contributions on Twitter - over 200 new drawings per day but worth the time! And there are many, many exceptional and exciting artists and pieces of work. Revisiting of a pencil sketch of an old French door done August 2013. The above is...

GillyRochester: Bauhaus: Illustration for Amelia's Magazine

Tuesday, 15 May 2012. Bauhaus: Illustration for Amelia's Magazine. London's Barbican's current exhibition is ' Bauhaus: Art as Life' and Matt Bramford has written this magnificent review. Like many, I find the Bauhaus style, lines, patterns, colours, typography, scope and ethic very appealing, and so was pleased to have the chance to submit an illustration for the article. However, my Bauhaus 'comfort zone' was soon to be challenged when my brief turned out to be furniture, chairs in fact. Hello I am an ...

Sunday, 31 August 2014. DrawingAugust: the last 9 days. And so to the last 9 days - drawings 22 through to 31. This has been a really good thing to do - I've started (and finished! A lot of 'drawings', and also returned to ones I'd dropped for whatever reason. The best thing has been though has been seeing the highly skilled, exciting and beautiful work of so many people on Twitter, and 'meeting' them. Next up is #PaintingSeptember which I shall try, but it is a more demanding month so we'll see. Stabilo...
