Sketchbook Workings

So im going to try and keep this update and working alongside my sketchbook for my current and final project at university.
I've entitled this project Grimm Tales and will be directly influenced by fairytales. I plan to create a series of large scale prints depicting selected characters from either one, or many different fairytales I havn't decided that yet. Im looking at the lesser known fairy tales from the Grimm Brothers obviously and Hands Christian Anderson. I want to keep the prints sorta aimed at adults and so the content maybe quite dark and depict taboo subject matter.
Currently our university plans say that we should be researching for about a month, however this will result in me procrastinating, so at the moment im trying to pick out fairytales i wish to illustrate and get archiving on compositions and hands on mark making etc. so that i can have many options when i come to assembling the finals digitally.

Here is a composition im working on:

An age Removed

So Im aware that I havn't posted on here in ages!
However I cant justify buying a domain just yet...soon..but not yet. And so figured I should really be trying to utilise this more, so that I can share it with all the lovely people I shall meet :).

This particular post is going to be a long post, as im guna upload alot of finals and give the background and basis behind each, so when it gets a bit rambly i promise hang on in there and i promise something interesting will arouse your senses eventually maybe near the bottom when you've looked at EVERY LITTLE THING in great detail!
Enjoy.

Going in order of most recent, i'd like to start with my projects for the D&AD competition design briefs we get asked to respond to.
My first set of work was a response to the brief for diesel; CREATE AN ILLUSTRATED INTERPRETATION OF A MUSICAL TRACK THAT IS EXPERIENCED BY THE VIEWER IN AN UNCONVENTIONAL AND PIONEERING WAY.
A brief explanation of how I tackled this brief, was to almost work backwards. I created 2 A3 images, which were the deliverables required for submission, then broke down each image to create a booklet that you would recieve with the album, these would be printed on tracing paper so that you could fold, cut or tear the images to create the album art YOU wanted.
First response to song: Crystal Castles 'Black Panther'

Second Response to song: Crystal Castles ' Alice Practice'
Final Booklet plan for 'Black Panther'.

Next Brief was for the first project we did this year which was based on manifesto's and the challenges we wanted to set for ourselves. In response to this brief i created a series of 3 images. I took the classic phrase Sex, drugs and rock n' roll and interprested it in my style as this was the main content for my manifesto.
