Brian Froud - guest lecture

So today was pretty good day , we had a guest lecture from none other than Brian Froud, who is mostly known for his work on films such as Jim Henson's "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth"and creator of international best sellers LADY COTTINGTON'S PRESSED FAIRY BOOK, GOOD FAERIES / BAD FAERIES and THE FAERIES' ORACLE . He showed us portfolio of his work, and some of his current pieces which where brilliant pieces of art ."Never listen to your tutors" is a brilliant piece of advice he gave us all and to stay true to your work .All in all a Pretty good start to the week !

So theses images are some I had started for class based work we had to read a piece on "sharing the bill " and create images of diners I decided to take it bit further and tried to create designs for possible Signs for this niche" restaurant "  I thought I would try create them in the style of  Olde English Pub signs . Ill photoshop the lettering and the pieces together soon and will hopefully make a bit more sense to those of you that are not too familiar with these signs.
