Editorial Project

I have finished editorial project. The challenge of this project was mark making. I usually do not use marks a lot. However, the explanation of mark making is interesting. I can believe this is an interesting point of illustration which gives abstract atmosphere. Without concrete images, it is able to tell a story to audience.

A Little Symphony of Diagrams

Today I remade my filming

Crawling the First World without Words (the first film project)

I made the first short film today. It is 1minite and 48 seconds. The title is Crawling the First World without Words. This film is about the first world which means the first experience of living by myself. Also, in my flat, there is a chinese couple who got a baby this year, so the meanings are link together. Moreover, I put some history of this town. Here is a quite pretty road. 

This film's purpose is just experience of adobe premiere pro to know how to use. so, it is a bit fast and unstable.  without planning, I started to make it. In this film, I used photoshop and imovie as well.

If you could not watch it, please try this link → http://youtu.be/1aVt99EaFsc

お馬さんぱかぱか (a little horse)

お馬さんぱかぱかをimovieで作ってみました。filmingの一部になる予定です＾＾
こういう簡単なアニメーションだったら作るの楽しいね。

I made a little animation with photoshop and editing software. 

Fiction project crit today (illustration of Lieland)

Today had a crit of fiction project. I drew 5 illustrations, but after crit I decided to redraw 3 of them.  2 of them are here. they might be final pieces.

when Robbie was 7, he was hiding coins
under the stone. the place would be
an entrance of Lieland.

Robbie is finding the coins at 5am.
However, there is a hole instead of the coins.

Other 3, I rethink about the structures. hope they would work well.

Some Sketches in V&A Museum

Today, I went to V&A Museum and did some sketches. This statue is Perseus and Medusa. it is so cool angle and posing. I want to draw it again.

今日はペルセウスがメデューサの首を切ったシーンの彫刻をスケッチしました。メデューサってもっとおどろおどろしいイメージがあったけど、この像だと、普通にきれいなお姉さんで、惚れ惚れしちゃいました＾＾
ロンドンにいる間に、たくさん色んな彫刻や絵画を模写したいなって、やる気がでてきました＾０＾日本だと模写も写真も禁止のところ多いしね＾＾；

最後のこの１枚は装飾の１部のライオンさんと牛さんです。あまりにも癒し系の顔だったので描きました＾０＾♪先生がこのライオンの絵を見て褒めてくれましたよ＾＾♪嬉しいですね。

Lieland

I would be 2nd year of Camberwell Illustration now. really glad to be it ^0^
Now my task is 5 illustrations for 'Lieland'. Actually, I'm a little bit wandering my style to draw. Anyway draw it first.

Lieland is a story Etgar Keret wrote and published in 2012. It is like a two world are there. One is real world, another is Lie world. Lieland has been made by someone's lie, maybe everyone's lies. the world is whiteness and asking Whose lie is a bit rude in the place. the main character, Robbie has been in Lieland accidentally. he is a liar as well. and this story has like a symbol, bubble gum machine.

the main character hid
some change under the stone.
it was his first lie.

just draw first without thinking

I was thinking about which style and material should be, but too much thinking causes nothing. At first, I tried to sketch some objects from the story one by one. Then, I would like the sketch and adding other parts. I was confused when thinking about structure on paper, but I notice it is difficult to create good drawing. I am not good at thinking.
Yes, my tutor said me that does not matter which style. so, I would try to this one^0^♪

oh! I have noticed now!! in this story, the bubble gum machine is worked with Lira coins. omg! once I had thought about why the coin is Lira??? now I got the answer. It might be..... Lira Lira Lira lira lira.......liar liar Liar!!!! lol

カンバウェルカレッジ２年目となりました＾０＾
大学２年生最初の課題はお話を読んで作品を作ると言う物です。私が選んだお話はライランドっていうショートストーリーです。主人公のロビーがひょんなことから嘘の世界に迷い込みます。そこには今までついた嘘が形となって彼の前に現れます。英語も現代文なので読みやすく楽しいお話ですよ＾＾
選べるお話は全部で８種類くらい指定がありました。課題も３つから選べて、５つのイラストか、１枚の大きなA0のイラストか、３つの3Dイラストレーションです。
２年生はもっとのびのび自由に絵を描きたいなぁと思います＾３＾♪

Making Handmade Stickers and Cards

tried to wrap them as a stickers pack 

I tried to make some products to sell at Camberwell Festival. Then I made sets of stickers and message cards.  Every time I thought nobody want them because usually people do not need them in their daily life, haha. But, I love stickers for using on my diary or putting them on a letter for fridens. It might be difficult to sell all sets. Just do my best, wish good experience, and enjoy making ^0^♪

At first, I was wondering to buy some printable sticker paper which was expensive. Then my friend told me to get the paper with small price.

I used e-bay the site had the cheapest one. So, I got 10 sheet of A4 glossy sticker paper with £ 1.99. Also, got them just 2days after buy on the web.

A4 glossy sticker paper on e-bay↓

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10p-A4-GLOSS-White-Self-Adhesive-Sticker-Paper-Sheet-Address-Label-UK-STOCK-/251190704405   

ステッカー用の印刷用紙ってすごく高いですね。近くの画材屋さんで２０枚入りが£１０以上したかな？。とにかくなかなか買うのに決断のいる価格で、日本だったら安いのかなぁ？と思い調べたところ、日本でも１０枚入り１０００円以上はするようで、購入を諦めかけてました。しかし友達に相談したところ、e-bayというサイトで破格で売っているようで♪１０枚で£1.99でしたよ＾＾(310円くらいでした。2013.06現在）このe-bayっていうサイトはイギリスのアマゾンよりも宅配が速く、注文してから２日で届きました。(イギリスのアマゾンは普通で注文から1週間から１０日はかかります。) 

でも、なんでこんなに安いのかな？と思ったら、台紙付きの茶封筒にそのまま用紙が入って送られてきて、(つまり説明や外装はない商品) イギリスのこういう合理的な発想で商売するところ、私好きですw。
無地のステッカー用紙に問題は全く無く、綺麗に印刷できましたよ＾＾

次は半透明やアセテート素材にも挑戦してみたいですね＾＾♪

I used my epson printer ( epson glossy, best photo ).

 I used my drawings in my foundation art and 1st year at Camberwell. I thought those food images are pretty good for stickers.

Sweets stickers

The first day of Camberwell festival. some people liked to take them. I was glad^0^

Japanese food stickers

When I was a foundation student, I drew Japanese food it was a task. However, when it became a product, I knew that British people are not familier with the images, so ... not majority.

 

message cards

Also, I made again the cards, Once I could sell them in the first year exhibition.


If I could not sell them out, present for you maybe ... ^0^ - <3

GIFT No. 21 （フレドリッヒ・フレーベル、恩物参照）

This is my final project of 1st year in Camberwell♪
I made a picture book with puzzle. It is about Friedrich Froebel who is German educationalist. Froebel made the first kindergarten and the system, also toys for children called GIFT No. 1 to 20.

It was nice exercise to design the whole pages and choosing proper font.  Also, it was difficult to decide the appearance of the character and the combination of  colour.  Here are some pages of picture book.

Froebel in kindergarten. I did some drawings then digital collage.  

He builds a little castle with GIFT.

This page explains the toys 1 to 20.

And then here are some explanation of the puzzle. This puzzle has 6 pictures, and the drawings are related to the picture book. The player could enjoy this changeable puzzle.

I made a box as well. The title page of book
and the one side of puzzle are same pattern.

Yeah! I want to challenge a competition, but this has too much originality. so maybe next year with other work.  . . .???


ここにあるのが私がUAL Camberwell college の1年時最後の作品です。課題は与えられた人物のBiography を本かアニメーションか立体の作品にしなさい。というもの。その人物っていうのも生徒1人1人違くて、私を担当してくれた先生は自分のグループの生徒一人一人の得意不得意を考慮しながら与えてくれました。

私に与えられた人物はドイツ人教育家のフレドリッヒ・フレーベルという人で、世界最初の幼稚園や、日本では恩物として親しまれる知育玩具を作った人です。
フレーベルはとても寂しい幼少期を過ごし、あまり両親に可愛がって貰えませんでした。父は忙しく、義母は自分の実の子供に夢中でした。
彼が１０才のとき叔父が惨めに思い、彼と一緒に住むことを提案したのです。

そんな幸せとは言えないフレーベルの幼少期でも、彼は父の庭で遊ぶことで自然を愛するようになりました。それが後の幼稚園や恩物への発想となるのです。

この作品で私は、フレーベルの生涯に関しての絵本と、彼が作ったおもちゃやMuseum of Childhood の取材で得た知識から発想して、 オリジナルのパズルをセットで仕上げました。

1年の最後に楽しい作品が作れて満足です♪

Natural History Museum （ロンドン自然史博物館）

ここがred zoonのエントランス♪エスカレーターが
小惑星？に吸い込まれるように上の階へ続いています。 

先日ロンドンの自然史博物館へ行きました＾０＾
広くて１日じゃ回りきれないと思ったので、また後日行こうと思いますが、特に気に入ったのがred zoon なる鉱物を主に展示してるスペース。
天然石好きな私としてはもういるだけで本当に幸せなスペースです♪
特に面白い展示が、上の写真の左側に小さく写ってる像。原始人？の像の様ですが、下に頭蓋骨が展示されており、なんと牙があるんです！！また、こういった美しい原石も展示されてます。

I went Natural History Museum on May. 2013. This huge museum is divided as some sections such as red zoon, blue zoon, orange zoon green zoon, etc. 
especially I do like the red zoon because like natural stones, I saw many beautiful and elegant stones there. sometime they are like a drawing is interesting. 

アールデコ？のような色合いが美しい。

まるで抽象画のような町並みの風景の様な石の断面。芸術的。

モダニズムって感じ。

複雑で可愛らしい色合い。

上の階には宝石類もたくさん展示されており、ため息ものです☆
そして、自然史博物館には屋外にnatural garden があります＾＾ダーウィンの展示がある横ですね。
ブリティッシュガーデンって好きだけど、飾らない自然な木々の配置とか見物ですよ＾０＾

Also, there is a natural garden the outside of the museum.

ショップも動物や鉱物にまつわる雑貨があって楽しいですよ♪

MEET/MEAT

It is an animation my group made in college.
Filming was a bit difficult for me. Thanks to my peers, I could do this project. 
special thanks ;)

Pollock's Toy Museum

I went to Pollock's Toy Museum to research for my project. this museum was a small building. and selling toys.
admission is £6 for adult.

this building is a common traditional British house, and the inside is divided  as 5 or 6 small rooms. Each room displays old toys. 30 minutes is enough to see them.

 もしおもちゃの研究をしてる方がいたら、ポロックス・トイミュージアムはいかがでしょうか？この博物館は小さなお家の中にたくさんのアンティークなおもちゃがひしめき合っています。テディベアの部屋やフランス人形の部屋なんかもありますよ。
階下にはおもちゃを売っているスペースもあり、小さいながらもなかなか楽しめます。何しろ廊下も部屋も狭いので、おとぎ話に出てくる古いお家を訪ねにきたような感覚になります。イギリスの古い建物の中を体感するって楽しみ方もありますよ＾＾

Museum of Childhood

I went Museum of Childhood to research for my project. I found some interesting toys, introducing below.

this is Picture cubes or blocks in 1890 and 1938.
 This puzzle is simpler than a jigsaw. it also has the 
bonus of having six different pictures to put together.

There are Froebel's GIFTs. 
the toy were used as education  for children.

GIFT No.2 

 興味のある方は、ロンドンに来た際Museum of Childhood に訪れてみてはいかがでしょうか？
世界のおもちゃ、イギリスのおもちゃ、こども向けのワークショップもやってます。
売店では楽しい絵本やおもちゃなども売られています＾＾

ここがMuseum of Childhoodの玄関ですね＾＾

他にもたくさんの世界中のおもちゃが年代とともに展示されています。日本のおもちゃも展示されてますよ。

私は学校の課題のリサーチで訪れましたが良いヒントを得ることが出来ました。大人も楽しめるMuseum of Childhood、ホームページはこちらです↓

chocolate suit チョコレートのコスチューム

I made a costume which forms chocolate. and each piece of chocolate can be opened. inside have photos related to my inside. the materials are felt, canvas, and paper. it was difficult to make it was complicated.
学校の課題でチョコレートの形をしたコスチュームを作りました＾０＾意外と複雑な構造で大変でした。

improvement of sweets for black and white

I did improve the sweet drawing which I drew with colour. Then when it is changed to monotone, black and white needs more contrast. So, I added the contrast to them.

On the left is with colour. middle is monotone version and then on the right is adding contrast. 

It became easy to see and more real.

The Sweet Tree

I worked on a group with peers for author project. These illustrations are for society project 'Manifesto'. explaining my creature 'chocolate fairy' on there. The project needs me to work with monotone. However, I realized that is hard for me because I usually work with colour. So I could just draw with color then change them into monotone.
