- you have chosen the rollercoaster not the merry round
- you are what you think
First use of illustration was a digital format at Bradford University, this was worked and worked so he could find his niche. The examples shows had a hand drawn, rough guilty, as if drawn with pen and pencil.
Lots of his work transfers over in to more a fine art style, however this has limits due to the time constraints and doesn't allow for editing to meet a cents specific needs.
Another experiment was the solder wood with a hot iron, this too was more of a fine art stance and very time consuming.
Collage, paper works are also too time consuming. The cutting and pasting process spun 2 weeks which cannot be achieved once in a freelance business.
Next Peter moved on to arts on structure, he experimented with graffiti art to be in keeping with he growing trend in this field.
In order to create a stringer artistic presence he used zines. The loose sketches and odd drawing were thrown together in a zine format, and were stamped and signed to be left for members of the public to find and keep, or contact. This is a form of self promotion.
First successful creative output was 'fresh kids' in which people had a creative output, alongside popular culture. This resulted in a lot of networking with other creative professionals from the area.
Dirt Cheap magazine. Was another means of self publishing. It was a platform to display work and gain experience without the pre existing magazines refusing to publish works due to lack of experience. The was a combination of own works, others and sent documents, a collation of art work that isn't well known. The actual print of this publication however was too expensive to print regularly, so slowly moved in to a downloadable pdf document.
Menial jobs were needed to fill the time, as work was slow during the recession, but smaller jobs for contacts and friends and family allowed for a developing portfolio on the side.
Photoshop, photo retouching, was a show of his desire to really study and learn new skills, even if this wasn't necessarily to his skill set.
