Progress

Today I have not left my desk all day. I think I'm going insane.

BUT

I have finished most of the images to go into my book! 

I just have two more to do tomorrow and then I can scan them into photoshop and put the text with them. In the end, I decided to focus my book around the things that myself and others perceive to be ghosts e.g. infrasound, dead celebrities, missing people and things. The ideas range from the serious to the ridiculous but most of all they reflect what I think it means to be a ghost, and my experience with going to York and feeling lonely. 

I wrote out just the words before embarking on making the images, which has made it feel more organic to me and has helped the process along as to a certain extent I'm now just illustrating my written words. The art work in this project has been partly inspired by a wonderful book I've been reading by Nina Cosford called My Name is Girl. I liked her sketchy use of watercolour and the textures of coloured pencil she uses over the top.
