What I liked at the Brighton University Graduate Degree Show 2011

After exhibiting last year, I popped down and had a look at this year's crop. There was the good, the bad, and the darn right ugly (you know who you are 'fine' art) but overall it was a pleasing show. Particular highlights were illustration artist Dan Woodger (click link) with his work 'Gator Dayz' http://www.danwoodger.com/1529490/Gator-Dayz and graphic designer Luke Tudor Griffiths http://www.hallider.co.uk. The Architecture show was solid, the quality was high but there was nothing too ground breaking.

My 3 Favourite photo's of the past 3 months

These 3 photo's were all taken using the Instagram app on my Ipod. It may be cheating but you can get some great shots so I'm not complaining. The first shot shows a very wrapped up Miss Mathers leaving her front door in Brighton sometime in February. It appears she may be setting out on an arctic adventure but in reality it was a short walk to the park to feed the (polar) ducks.

The second shot was taken at the shooting of a music video for the band 'Kakuzi'. My friend Ali was the DOP and here he is taking some close-ups of the extras.

The last shot I actually only just took today and is of my friend Kelsey sniffing the flowers in the sun.

The Honest Lawyer - Private Dwelling

Whilst working for Concept Design, the first project I had was to design a small house for a 1 or 2 students. Above is one of my original designs and below is a link to what the final house design will look like.

30 Pond Road - Private residence

Whilst looking for a permanent placement position - the all important 'PPP', (not to be confused with a regular 'PP' which I may need after I do this post) I answered an online advert for a trainee architect to help design a house in Trinidad. Such opportunities do not come around everyday and so I jumped at the chance. The client was hoping to move out there and wished to have a typical Caribbean styled home. After researching typical house types in the area, the client also provided a detailed list and sketches of what they wanted, making my task much easier. After just a week a design was set upon for which I also provided 3D's. It was a great experience and it should be going to site this time next year.
