Hard Day's Work

Ballpoint pen on A3 paper

According to a 2015 YouGov poll, 37% of British workers think their job is meaningless and doesn’t contribute anything to the world.
Crazy how a system so obsessed with productivity can produce so many bullshit jobs (cf. David Graeber)

Pictured here is my own exercice in futility, created following a standard 9 to 5 schedule

Queen

These are stills from an animation I made for a music video a little while ago

I’m not sure how I feel about the video itself anymore, but I still enjoy the loosely-Genndy-Tartakovsky-inspired look of the backgrounds

Fire

Poster design, kinda what it says on the tin
Which character are you?

Garde impérial

I made this after reading Rester barbare by Louisa Yousfi

Having fun with layering different textures

Anti austerity

I made this in response to the government planning new cuts in public services
The slogan (which isn’t my creation btw) is a play on the word privé here having the double meaning of private/deprived
It reads as “when everything is private, we will be deprived of everything”

Steppenwolf

“The mistaken and unhappy notion that a man is an enduring unity is known to you. It is also known to you that man consists of a multitude of souls, of numerous selves. The separation of the unity of the personality into these numerous pieces passes for madness. Science has invented the name schizomania for it. Science is right insofar as no multiplicity may be dealt with unless there be a series, a certain order and grouping. It is wrong insofar as it holds that one only and binding lifelong order is possible for the multiplicity of subordinate selves.”

Hermann Hesse

I was playing around with textures for this one. I like how certain areas of the figure are clearly delineated while others bleed into the background
