Keith Haring is the King!

Saw some of his paintings when I was 17 in Edinburgh and they just blasted my mind! Simple and with feeling.

Initial ideas

Got some drawings done on all the aforementioned projects. The Phil Reed project is going the best as I had a brainwave and have decided to use T-shirts as characters. I showed my friend Mish and she had the 'ooh' response that can't be faked. Whereas when I showed her my sketches for 'camerman' she said 'oh'.

T-shirt characters will be perfect because there's a joke in them being t-shirts and they won't be too embarrassing for the tricky emotions like 'depressed' or 'powerless and fearful' or too cliched for the 'powerful and free'. Anyway, yes more work to be done on Camerman. And Trusted Places is driving me mad. I feel sure there's something going to come. Like a word that's on the tip of the tongue. Logos are a new thing for me...
