carrying on from my other drawings, i really like the idea of animal-human role reversal and incorporating banksy quotes into my work. i think this really shone in these drawings.
i think these turned out really good and i'm pleased with them. they have the cute aesthetic that i was looking for but also with the dark message behind them. i think they have an element of humour to them, although the subject is very dark. using copic was a bit of a mistake as it went through the page of the other drawing (live and learn!) so for the other rabbits i used watercolour which i think works effectively.
starting drawing up this idea but wasn't really liking it that much. might try something more with it but not sure. i don't think it's really working for the aesthetic that i wanted to portray.
this was my first really successful drawing tying banksy quotes in with animal cruelty! this was a real turning point for me and i think it really showed me how banksy quotes can relate in this way. the image is insinuating that the rabbit's dreams are cancelled, as it can't have dreams because it's going to be made into a fur coat. i would like to try out drawing this image again, possibly incorporating a cage.
another drawing which i think really shone with the banksy quote. i think the drawing doesn't really fit it that much and could be worked on, but i think the theme of the drawing does really relate to the quote.
decided to draw a banksy quote without incorporating the animal cruelty. however, i dont think this image has much of a message to it and i don't really like it. it's not what i've been trying to say and doesn't really work with the other drawings i've done. i just wanted to try out some other things too in the middle of doing my chosen theme.
more drawings of the little bear which was one of the first drawings that i did. as he was a polar bear i also wanted to show that animal cruelty doesn't just stem from abusing an animal, but also neglecting the earth can really effect animals. for instance, global warming. i got this idea for global warming after seeing one of banksy's pieces 'i dont believe in global warming' as i think it is still a really important subject.
just another banksy quote that i found really influential. it really spoke to me. 'disturb the comfortable' is a message that i am really trying to portray. the comfortable people wearing their fur coats and non-CF mascara which got stabbed into a rabbit's eye. although i like the quote, i'm not sure the typography that i did really works with what i'm trying to portray. just writing words isn't really what i wanted to do, but use visual.
another instance of animal-human reversal. this time using littering as the subject. as when you litter, for example, your coke can holder it can end up choking a small animal as they are confused and adventurous. animals don't know what these things are. i do like the image and i think it almost looks like she's trying to do a fashion statement, like coke holder necklaces are the new in thing.
