/// Andy Warhol Special – Part 3 /// Wednesday May 18th

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 14:16:24 +0000

Here is the final instalment of the Andy Warhol special edition of Look Cover Draw Check. These final two are by Will Barbour-Brown (Skulls) and another one from Andy James Nelson (Cano magazine cover). All of the pieces you have seen are now up on display at the Soul Cellar in Southampton until July 17th. From there they are being taken to be displayed at the City Art Gallery Southampton! But just because you have ages to see these pieces does not mean you shouldn’t go and see them right away! If you really love any of them you can even purchase a print!!!

It’s been a lot of fun putting this together and I look forward to working with other illustrators and photographers in the future to bring you more special features!

Thanks for looking,
Billy

This weeks LCDC is late, but hopefully it is worth the wait!
I have been asked by my good friend Paul Solomon from Johnny Toaster Graphic Design to put together a very special Andy Warhol edition of LCDC, which will be exhibited at TWO different shows in Southampton, May 17th at Soul Cellar until it is moved to the City Art Gallery on the 20th of June!

Here is a sneak preview of some of the pieces that will be in the exhibition, there is one of my own, one from Anthony Atkinson and one from Adam Moore

Bizarrely this is the second LCDC I’ve done featuring a child toting a firearm,
I would like to make it known that I am not an advocate of Bugsy Malone style child-on-child violence.

This week’s image was kindly supplied by my illustrator friend Adam Moore .

Hard to believe but it’s already been a month since I started Look.Cover.Draw.Check.
On a personal note I feel my confidence in drawing from memory is growing (I hope it shows!) and with this latest venture I’ve branched out into colour! WOWZERS! This weeks image was supplied by my friend Caroline (twitter @SchweetCaroline).

FOUR /// Wednesday March 23rd /// Guest illustrator Ollie Stone

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 07:30:23 +0000

This weeks LCDC is very much the same, but at the same time quite different. Same format, same rules, different illustrator! Every fourth week LCDC will be done by a guest illustrator, this time it’s Ollie stone. As well as being a fellow student of Ollies at Solent University, I am also a big fan of his work. If you’d like to see more of his fantastic work his website is here.

So here it is, the first LCDC guest illustration, it’s a great one and I hope you like it..
