So from now on expect to see...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>More illustration, not just set projects from uni but the general wanderings of my imagination. And loads of posts on other illustrators, designers, artists, crafts people and maybe a few bands to help inspire the rest of the world :) </li>
<li>Fashion and beauty - a big love of mine, I love to mix vintage, high street and a sprinkling of DIY pieces. So expect outfit posts, DIY tutorials and updates of my current favourite looks and trends (oh and loads of bargain buys!)</li>
<li>Student life - There seems to be a lack of blogs on general student life, so I'm hoping to pull together loads of info and articles as well as my own experiences on uni life and money saving.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Aside from keeping my blog undated and interesting, I have a couple of other new years resolutions I'm planning on pursuing this year, the progress of which I will update occasionally on here too</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Read more - I'm aiming to read 2 books a month, I have 6 ready and waiting for me already but I'm more than happy to take some more suggestions.</li>
<li>Draw more, a LOT more - concidering I'm doing an illustration course I don't seem to draw as much as I would like, so I'm hoping to draw a little everyday outside of my project work, like a diary kind of thing, to keep my imagination fresh.</li>
<li>Get fit and healthy, inside and out- I joined the gym at the start of uni and surprisingly really enjoy it and I've always eaten reasonable healthy but it's something I want to start taking a little more seriously now to be the best version of me I can be (as cheesy as that sounds) </li>
<li>Start looking into ways of making money through my art work and the skills I'm learning at uni.</li>
<li>Enjoy being at uni! make the most of all the opportunities I'm being given on this course.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
That'll do for now, I look forward to becoming a blogging sensations in the coming months... (lol)</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">Judy Garland was born Frances Ethel Gumm on June 10, 1922, in Grand Rapids. Judy began her show business career before she was three years old at her father's theater, the New Grand Theater. The family soon moved to Los Angeles, California, and to better climates than those found in remote northern Minnesota. By age six she was a veteran performer, appearing with her two older sisters in a vaudeville act. After her father's health declined, the sisters' act soon became the primary source of income for the family.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small; line-height: 26px;">Mistakenly billed as "The Glum Sisters" in 1931, the sisters, at the suggestion of a fellow performer, changed their stage name to Garland (the name of a then-popular drama critic). Shortly thereafter, at her own insistence, Garland changed her first name from Frances to Judy (after a popular song of the day).</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">In 1935 the head of MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), a major Hollywood studio, heard Judy Garland sing and quickly signed her to a contract. There was some uncertainty at the studio on how to use her talents. A year passed before she made her first MGM film, a two-reeler. Her first appearance in a feature did not come until 1937, when she was loaned to another major studio, Twentieth Century-Fox. That same year at an MGM party for its star Clark Gable (1901–1960), Garland was a hit singing a specialty number, "Dear Mr. Gable," which was adapted from the well-known standard "You Made Me Love You." As a result she and the song were used for the 1937 feature <i>Broadway Melody of 1938. </i>Again she earned praise within the industry.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">MGM quickly put Garland into more films, each spotlighting her singing. In her next film, <i>Thoroughbreds Don't Cry </i>(1937), she was cast with another childhood star, Mickey Rooney (1920–), with whom she would later appear in eight films. MGM paired them in some of the Andy Hardy films, a series starring Rooney as an "average" American teenager. The duo performed in such movies as <i>Babes in Arms </i>(1939), <i>Strike Up The Band </i>(1940), <i>Babes on Broadway </i>(1941), and <i>Girl Crazy </i>(1943). Her most memorable film role, and the one that made her a household name, came in 1939 with <i>The Wizard of Oz. </i>She won a special Oscar as "best juvenile performer of the year" for her role as Dorothy. The film also provided her with the song with which she was identified for the rest of her life—"Over the Rainbow."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">During the 1940s Garland graced a number of outstanding musicals, including <i>Meet Me in St. Louis </i>(1944), <i>The Harvey Girls </i>(1946), and <i>Easter Parade </i>(1948). She was superb in a non-singing role in <i>The Clock, </i>a pleasant drama about a young girl and a serviceman on leave.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">and pill bottles to show her struggle with addiction.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px;">Garland's personal life, however, was less successful. She married music arranger David Rose in 1941, but that marriage ended long before their 1945 divorce. That same year she married director Vincente Minnelli (1910– 1986), who guided Garland in some of her most notable films, including</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;"> </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">The Pirate </i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">(1948). Daughter Liza Minnelli (later a star in her own right) was born in 1946. This second marriage also failed and was over well before the 1951 divorce. All during the 1940s Garland was hampered by a lack of self-confidence, strained by constant work, and slowed by weight problems. She became heavily dependent on pills and in the end broke down, trying to kill herself in 1950.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Once a professional talent and hard worker, Garland became a problem artist during the 1940s. The filming of <i>In the Good Old Summertime </i>(1949) was repeatedly delayed, as was <i>Summer Stock </i>(1950). A pattern had been set that would increasingly set back her career. She was replaced in a number of films and finally was fired by MGM in 1950.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 26px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Sidney Luft, a successful promoter who later became her third husband (1952), started Garland on a career on concert stages. She was a smashing success at the Palladium in London, England, at the Palace Theatre in New York City, and elsewhere. The magnificent film <i>A Star Is Born </i>(1954) capped her comeback, and she earned an Oscar nomination. But faltering health, increasing drug dependency, and alcohol abuse led to nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts, and recurrent breakups with Luft, by whom she had two children, Lorna (1952) and Joseph (1955). The Lufts finally divorced in 1965 after years of legal wrangling.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Notwithstanding her troubles, Garland undertook a highly successful concert tour in 1961, which was capped by an enthusiastically received concert at New York City's Carnegie Hall. The live recording of that event sold over two million copies.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">That same year she earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her dramatic performance in the film <i>Judgment at Nuremberg. </i>She had another non-singing role in the British film <i>A Child Is Waiting </i>(1963). Her last film role was in another British film, <i>I Could Go On Singing </i>(1963). Garland had made a well-received television debut in 1955 on the <i>Ford Star Jubilee </i>and had done well in other guest appearances. Unfortunately, her long-awaited television weekly series did not fare well, and CBS cancelled the variety show after one season (1963–1964).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Garland's personal and professional life continued to be a series of ups and downs, marked by failing performances, comebacks, lawsuits, hospitalizations, and suicide attempts. After divorcing Luft she married Mark Herron, a young actor with whom she had traveled for some time. The marriage lasted only months. Mickey Deans, a discotheque manager twelve years her junior, whom she had married earlier that year, found her dead in their London flat on June 21, 1969. Death came from an "accidental" overdose of pills. She is buried in Hartsdale, New York.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">One of the worlds most recognised icons is Elvis Presley, although hes huge success he also lead a troubled life in the lime-light which lead to his death aged 42, bloated to 20 stone and addicted to drugs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Despite his huge success in Hollywood, I decided to concentrate on the impact he has on Las Vagas and how the city lead to his downfall.</span></div>

In Vagas he was contracted to preform for 4 weeks at a time, two performances a day, twice a week for the equivalent of £2 million a week, all this new found freedom lead to the downfall of his career and personal life.</span></div>

My current project has introduced me to a slightly darker side of illustration than I'm normally interested in, I find the work of Aya Kato very inspiring due to her slightly obscure body forms and ghostly figures. This style reflects the theme of "Dark Side of Hollywood", especially when looking at the Black Dahlia murder case and the Hollywood suicides.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">I have spent the summer neglecting my art work and spending as much time as possible earning money to get me through uni.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Consequently I have a mini project to do and seem to have forgotten how to draw. And don't seem to have any savings for uni either. Oops. Very unsuccessful summer on the whole. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">But new work and projects coming soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">in the meantime, my new favourite band have made me want to get into stock motion animation due to this adorable video! I want a penguin. xo</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I still have near enough every one of the original series from when I was younger as I spent countless hours reading and attempting to copy and make my own characters.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">The first of the Mr. Men characters is reported to have been created when Hargreave's son Adam asked his father what a tickle looked like. Hargreaves drew a figure with a round orange body and long, rubbery arms, which became Mr. Tickle.</span></span></div><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Grandma's Stories</span></span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">My project is based around the stories my Grandma wrote when I was younger and the memories relating to “story time”, I plan to illustrate the stories and print into a book as well as set up an installation, which evokes memories of story time as a child and the idea of being lost in a fantasy world. The idea developed from my previous project where I looked at altered books in order to give them a new lease of life, I plan on developing this further by bringing the stories to life on a much larger scale as if the reader has become surrounded by it. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">As I’ve applied to study Illustration at university I want to use this project to gain experience of working to a brief where my work is aimed at a specific target audience, in this case young children, as well as it having a more commercial outcome.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">I want to keep the illustrations contemporary and quite simple with strong lines and lots of bold colour, as well as incorporate some areas of textiles ad collage to appeal to children and hold their attention while they have the story read to them. I feel its also important to pay a lot of attention to the typography used in order to make it easy to read and for children to follow as they learn to read and write themselves. I also want to look into different ways of producing and presenting the illustration and typography, for example the traditional methods of hand drawn images and printing compared to digitally produced images using Photoshop and Illustrator.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">For the installation I’ve been looking at artists such as Su Blackwell, Tord Boontje and Julie Arkell to create a feeling of childlike imagination and nostalgia with their use of cut up books, collage and shadows. I plan on setting up a room that evokes memories of being read stories by a family member, I’m using my own childhood memories of reading with my grandparents to create this. The idea is to fill the room with the story by using projected images and shadows, scenes and lines from the book on the walls around the room as well as recorded sounds of the story being told by a family member to a young child. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17088884992475301061noreply@blogger.com0
