Snazzy New Briefs.

     The Art of Protest - got this brief a couple weeks ago to start working on alongside another that we receive tomorrow. The idea for this one is to pick something that you care about enough to have a bit of a protest about and then make/ perform/ draw something that does just that.

     In the end I decided to go with the occasional discrimination people show towards tattooed individuals that results in not getting jobs, having to cover them up or being made redundant etc. Mostly I picked this so I could draw and research tattoo related things and include it as part of my uni work, but also because the more I think about it the more it pisses me off. 

     The idea at the minute is to produce a catalogue/ handbook of sorts, documenting different tattoos and their "meanings" written by an employer of some kind. It sounds more effective in my head than now I've written it down so I'll probably change my mind around sixteen times before the deadline.

     Here's what I've been upto so far:

Dagger heart (Do Not Hire), Pen and watercolour.

Swallow (Non Conducere Haec Persona), Pen

Cockerel (I Steal Things), Pen and watercolour

Bat (Work in Progress), Pen
