A little glimpse of things I have been working on lately. Will post proper images soon and also write more.

BRINK Graduate show - Free Range, London

2011-07-11T13:04:00.007+01:00

BRINK, our very own London show. Exciting to get to show part of Free Range and especially in the massive space that is T1.

"BRINK 2011 is a collaborative exhibition of Fine Art, Illustration and Architecture graduates from the Arts University College at Bournemouth. Traditional design bends and dances with the innovative and unexpected in this unique show, part of Free Range at The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London (7th to 11th July 2011)." www.brinkshow.com

After struggling for ages with the metal enforced wall..the wall won..So thankfully with the help of some extra strong velcro the Tempest pieces finally were put up just before the opening night.

GRADUATION!!!!! (1st July 2011)

2011-07-02T10:27:00.000+01:00

Happy Graduate!!

So happy that all is finished and I have graduated. It feels so odd to be in this situation, a mixed bag of emotions. It still hasn't hit me that a) I have graduated, b) I have the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with First class Honours in Illustration, c) It's been 4 years of hard work and now I can relax for a bit.

Over all I am happy and would like to thank every single one who has been supportive during this time. You are the best and I am very thankful!! :)

Summer Shows 2011

2011-06-28T14:34:00.002+01:00

My final pieces on the wall.

Some images from the BA (Hons) Illustration end of year show part of the Arts University College at Bournemouth's Summer Shows 2011 (23rd – 30th June 2011).

Graduating students from all the 20 Art, Design, Media and Performance degrees at the Arts University College at Bournemouth showcased their creative excellence throughout the campus turning it into a massive gallery space. It was intriguing to see what all of us have been working on during the past month and that hard work really pays off in the end. Can't believe it's been 4 years since I came here. Time really does fly.

Illustration Studio turned into our gallery space.

Dante's Inferno - Fashion Shoots

2011-06-05T16:10:00.004+01:00

Earlier this year I collaborated with Fashion Designer Scottacus Anthony on Dante's Divine Comedy-inspired project. Since then our collaborative digiprinted shirt for Dante’s Inferno collection has been gracing a lot of different photoshoots after its completion.

The latest ones being for TeenBook Magazine’s street fashion shoot, shot by the talented Sarah Brimley and styled by Lou Clark, who has been working with jewellery brand Tatty Devine. TeenBook Magazine is a new sister magazine for London based Sketchbook magazine.

Finals for Teenbook Magazine.

Behind the scenes shot.

The shirt also has been used for a fashion editorial shoot for photographer Luke Hutchings’ Blade Runner themed project. Amazing!

EM[BODY]MENT - exhibition

2011-05-25T21:09:00.003+01:00

I submitted a piece from The Tempest- series to the EM[BODY]MENT exhibition that was held in The Gallery at the Arts University College at Bournemouth 6th - 13th May 2011.

The exhibition explored the areas of fine art, digital art, performance and photography using the theme of the body as its subject. The aim of the exhibition was to challenge people’s individual perceptions of what it identified as “normal” within the realms of the body.

The Arts and Events student who were organizing the event as part of their final project described it as:

“EM[BODY]MENT will provide a platform for the courses of the AUCB to expose their skills and creativity, and will promote the university and the quality of work produced through the diversity of its courses.

The aim is to develop professional working partnerships with artists from courses at the AUCB and external organisations. EM[BODY]MENT will collaborate with students in order to produce an exhibition that aims to stimulate creative thought processes. It will provide an opportunity for upcoming artists to display their work for industry professionals and enthusiasts at the Exclusive Gala Evening on Thursday 12th May 2011.”

Artist Statement and Description of the piece:

The Tempest

Questioning the juxtaposition of Beauty and Grotesque forms a vital exploration throughout my illustration practice. The relationship between structure and fluidity results in atmospheric pieces that depict a feeling of otherness, achieved through the combination of tactile methods alongside digital image making. Being intrigued by unconventional materials and surface textures derive from my Finnish heritage, being surrounded by both nature and architecture.

‘Ariel – Reluctant Servant’ is part of my Extended Major Project that uses William Shakespeare’s The Tempest in order to challenge the generic imagery that is associated with narrative work. It investigates abstraction and distortion, alongside form and structure, in order to convey the inner turmoil’s of the characters on the isolated island.

Exit Stage Left - poster design

2011-05-24T21:38:00.000+01:00

Got approached to create the Graduate Showcase poster for The School of Performance production called "Exit Stage Left". This was a true honor and my 4 years of designing for them coming to an end. A big thank you to all and everyone I have been working on the productions. Will be sitting front row to see what they have created for us this year.

"The Arts University College at Bournemouth's end of year show, Exit Stage Left, is a performance showcase by graduating students from the AUCB.

The show is a unique contemporary theatre piece showcasing the work of acting, costume and make-up courses and, as in past years, is an electrifying spectacle of performance and design which will thrill and delight adults and children alike. Incorporating excerpts from this year’s productions as well as new material they have devised a bold and innovative extravaganza offering its audience an experience unlike any other!"

Performances are on the 9th and 10th of June at The Ocean Room Theatre at Pavilion Dance.

9th June - 12.30pm and 7.30pm

10th June - 2.30pm and 7.30pm

The Tempest - Photo shoot

2011-04-03T23:52:00.003+01:00

Here are just a few of the photos from today's photo shoot, there are still loads that need to be edited and then converted to the project. I am extremely pleased with the outcomes and a big thank you for my amazing model for working with me 4-5 hours in one go (coffee breaks provided). I was shooting with two different cameras simultaneously so technically there's two different photo shoots to choose elements from. Hooray.

The Tempest - Test Shoot [Light+Fabric Experimentation]

2011-04-02T18:03:00.000+01:00

I did a quick test shoot yesterday experimenting with fabrics as well as some different lights and layering. Preparing myself for the shoot tomorrow to have more imagery for the final illustrations and references for the forms as well as layered surfaces to work on.

The Tempest - Illustrations in process

2011-04-01T16:23:00.003+01:00

The illustrations for The Tempest are finally taking form after my experimentations. Combining the abstract 2D and 3D elements with photographic elements to achieve the desired feel that comes across in the work and linking it back to the original text.

The Tempest - 3D Print [Experimentation]

2011-03-29T13:41:00.000+01:00

My experimental 3D printed 'Island' took a real form today and now I have a better understanding of the process and what needs to be done to the 3-dimensional file to achieve the object in real life. Now I need to consider how I could take this further and what can be used from this experimentation in my project.

The Tempest - Projections [Experimentation]

2011-03-20T15:01:00.003Z

Here are some of the done imagery projected on fabric and people. Testing out how it would work and what is successful and what isn't. The next step is to try to make a real 3D form out of one of my designs.

The Tempest - Experimentations

2011-03-15T19:53:00.001Z

Hello all,

I am finally getting on track again after my computer fully crashing/breaking on me and all the data is now officially saved and backed up. Hooray.

Here are some of the experimentations done for William Shakespeare's The Tempest that I have been working on for the past months. Still playing with shapes and forms to see what works and what doesn't and how parts or the story can be conveyed through abstraction. I have been using i.e. fabric, cling film, paper, clay and 3D programs to achieve the desired feel. My next step is to take this further with projections, hopefully adding sound and also seeing if it is possible to build some of the forms in real life based on the 3D designs.

Will post some more soon.

Ship of Fools

2011-03-06T18:13:00.000Z

Commissioned to design a poster for AUCB's theatre production at Pavilion Dance.

"Hidden deep in the hold of a cargo ship, a group of stowaways drift from port to port in a state of perpetual transit. They are the forgotten. No country will take them, they have nowhere to go and so they make their own alternative world. Inspired by Sebastian Brant’s fifteenth century allegorical story about a group of people searching for a fool’s paradise, Ship of Fools combines visual theatre, clown, circus, dance and daring to celebrate the eccentricities, absurdities and fragility of our existence through the eyes of the clown."

School of Performance productions are performed by final year students from the BA (Hons)Acting Course, designed by staff and students from the BA(Hons) |Costume with Performance Design and assisted by students from FdA Make-Up for Media and Performance.

Recent AUCB performances have been described by local press as “brilliant”, “masterful”, exciting” “astonishing” and ”visually stunning.”

Wednesday 23 March 7.30pm

Thursday 24 March 7.30pm

Friday 25 March 2.30pm, 7.30pm

Tickets: £10 or £6 concessions

Sketchbook Project 2011- Open in New York

2011-02-20T13:20:00.003Z

"It's like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks."

The Sketchbook Project 2011 had its opening night last night in New York in The Brooklyn Art Library.

The exhibition is open until the 27th February before it travels to Austin Museum of Art in Austin, Texas (March 12th 2011) and then continuing touring across USA.

The Art House Co-op had a live feed from the opening night and I had a little sneak peek and it looked very busy and wish I could have been there.

The Tempest - Extended Major Project

2011-02-13T19:47:00.002Z

Experimentations with structure and fluidity.

This Extended Major Project will continue the research that was started in my Investigative Study as well as further the knowledge behind the underlying themes of my Negotiated Practice unit whilst applying my creative abilities producing a significant body of work that reflects the high standards that students should have at this level of Honours degree study.

For my Investigative Study I researched into how the dichotomy of Beauty & Grotesque is evident in illustrative contemporary practice, further discussing how Freud’s theory of the Uncanny can be argued to be a hybrid form of these two contradictory entities. Deriving the critical theory behind this research and applying it into my own contemporary practice by using Shakespeare’s Tempest as my starting point, creating a body of work around the interpretation of the text and translating it across a spectrum of fields.

Keeping a sustained focus on the narrative by looking into developing and fine-tuning the created illustrations to a professional published degree but as well challenging the previously done imagery to this particular story by deriving visual inspiration from Finnish culture and nature. Also it is desired to challenge the generic imagery that is associated with narrative work by experimenting with abstraction and distortion as well as form and structure i.e. developing already acquired skills with the lasercutter, to discover and harness skills that still have a lot of potential to explore and could be implemented further into product or textile design for innovative creative solutions.

Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration - Launch Party!!

2011-02-02T20:45:00.000Z

Me with the amazing Amelia Gregory and fellow illustrator Katherine Tromans

Last week, on Friday 28th Jan, it finally happened. The gorgeous book that is Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration (Order here), finally had it's launch party at 123 Bethnal Green Road in London.

The venue was packed with illustrators, designers, journalists, photographers and creatives alike in the several floors of 123 Bethnal Green.

Amazing bands such as 6 Day Riot played, The Pipettes and later on Will from The Mystery Jets did a DJ-set. The guests were indulged with the Amelia's tote bag filled with Dr. Hauschka products, Tatty Devine necklace, Pucca teas, customised Amelia's Moleskin Sketchbook etc. etc. The amazing night and buzzing atmosphere got even better when I met up with fashion designer Martina Spetlova, whose designs I also got the opportunity to illustrate for the book.

Also it was great meeting with fellow illustrators whose work you had seen several times but never met them in person before as well as getting to chat with the lovely girls from The Pipettes later during the evening.

All in all it was an amazing, succesful event (with a delicious glittery cake from Lily Vanilli) and a massive thank you to Amelia Gregory and her team for organizing the wonderful launch party!! Well done you guys!

Coyote Was Going There...

2011-01-26T00:06:00.004Z

I was commissioned to design a poster for AUCB's theatre production at The Lighthouse in Poole.

"Experience the magical world of Coyote and his friends in this colourful, physical and bawdy journey inspired by the myths and legends of the Native American Indian tribes.

Students from the School of Performance are creating this completely new piece of theatre. The actors and designers have explored the stories of the Native Americans and are weaving these unusual tales into a new, exciting narrative full of laughter, lust and the poignancy of life.

As with all of our shows, the creative talents from many courses, including Acting, Costume, Makeup, Model Making and Illustration, are essential to the quality and wonder of the production.

Come and join us for a truly unique evening of theatre!"

Coyote was going there... will be showing at The Lighthouse, Poole

Thursday 17th - Saturday 19th at 7.30pm February 2011

Saturday Matinee at 2.30pm

"It's like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks."

The sketchbook was unbound and then rebound adding a new cover to it of my new Dante's Inferno work with characters tangled in hellish embraces.

Festive Fundraising Madness- Silent Auction Dec 2010

2010-12-14T15:09:00.003Z

It is done now, all of the Silent Auction Madness.

The event was a great success and we are planning to do another one in 2011.

Here are some images that I took on the day as well as my Dante's Inferno - Map of Lower Hell print that was auctioned on the night. Thank you for everyone who participated and donated work raising funds towards the BA (Hons) Illustration 2011 Graduate London Show.

2010-12-14T14:55:00.004Z

Here are some of the prints and contexts for the patterns as well as monoprinted creatures that have the pattern incorporated.

Dante's Inferno - Collaboration with Scottacus Anthony

2010-12-14T14:33:00.011Z

I have been working on this massive project since early October and finally it is finished.

I chose for my Negotiated Practice unit to work with Scott Perkin (Scottacus Anthony) from BA (Hons) Fashion Studies on a self-initiated collaborative project focusing on engineering print with innovative pattern cutting. We have worked together before but never in this sort of scale and we both are ambitious and hard working so this was the perfect opportunity to develop our work further on and challenge ourselves.

Using Dante Alighieri’s allegorical poem The Divine Comedy as inspiration for the interpretation of text, deriving the image ideas from the first cantica ”Inferno” i.e. Circles of Hell, mythological creatures, scenery how the afterlife is portrayed. The main emphasis on the body of work being on distortions, texture, Greek/ Roman sculpture feel, exploring the relationship between beauty/grotesque, light/ darkness. Working methods including printmaking, experimenting with textures and figurative drawing and composing textile print elements for a final product.

Here are the final outcomes for the garments:

Busy September

2010-09-18T21:12:00.002+01:00

It has been a busy start for September and I can not believe half of it is gone already..

Been working on loads of projects with the lovely people at Amelia's Magazine as well as doing work to Finland such as websites etc. etc. Also there are some very interesting and big production projects coming in the near future as well as some of my illustrations in a magazine just to name a few.

Need to magically conjure some extra time to do blogging and hopefully this time no one uses copy-paste to publish my blog posts as their own, I know who you are and further investigation will follow. grr!

Things I am working on now (Tuesday 31st August)

2010-08-31T20:20:00.009+01:00

Something old, something new and something Green for Amelia's Magazine.

Some work going completely Gaga.

And something that goes to Finland soon.

I'd like to use the word busy for the next upcoming weeks, and I am so happy all work is going so smoothly and is nearly done. Hooray for coffee and proper time management skills!! :)

Summer 2010 - drawings and sketches

2010-08-17T15:36:00.005+01:00

I am quite happy about the amount of drawing I have done this summer. Now going on a new folder already and took a look back at the one that was full and I have pretty much done an illustration or more per day during this summer. Here is sketches/drawings of past work and some current ones I am working on at the moment. Will be posting more work on the blog very soon, trying to tackle the email mountain now and get everything organized.

Self Portrait for Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration

2010-07-19T22:31:00.005+01:00

A self portrait to accompany my Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration submission. Forgot to upload this earlier here but now it's done.

Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration

2010-07-19T22:17:00.006+01:00

I chose to interpret the SS’10 collection By Stamo for this open brief because I felt that it reflected similar designer aesthetics with my own work and also had a lot of potential to take further by creating strong and flowy illustrations to showcase the beautiful garments. The used technique was a combination of scanned pencil drawings combined digitally with hand folded triangular shapes for pleats and photographed ink in water to reflect the floaty fabrics and the amazing vibrant blue. All 3 illustrations work as individual pieces as well as one combined big piece.

Some of the working sketches:

A brief summer update

2010-07-11T21:19:00.010+01:00

On thursday I went to London to see The Arts University College at Bournemouth's end of the year show at Free Range on Brick Lane. The Graduate show "Chine" showcased work from Fine Art, Illustration and Photography. The standard of work and the massive gallery space looked amazing and I am eagerly waiting to exhibit my work there next year.

..and congratulations to Olivia Brotheridge, a model that has graced couple of my projects in the past such as Divergence-Metamorphosis shoot and the Dark Art Photoshoot (http://kristerselin.blogspot.com/2009/06/dark-art-photoshoot.html), on joining the LMP-model agency. Also some of Anna Michell's photos of mine and Eva Lojdova's project can also be seen on LMP's site on Olivia's profile.

Dingsdabumsda Magazine, issue 19

2010-06-09T16:17:00.006+01:00

My Addiction (narrative) piece was featured in the new issue of the Dingsdabumsda Magazine that is published by the Student Union in the Arts University College at Bournemouth. Also me and Holly Mills contributed to the magazine by doing an article about the Experimental Typography workshop we took part in March 2010 and talked about the project and all the exhibitions for it in the past/present/future.

EjectorSeat Arts Festival in Southampton

2010-06-09T00:30:00.014+01:00

Photography from the event by Amy Marie Stephens

I was approached to produce a bird image to the gallery for EjectorSeat Arts Festival in Southampton that took place on the 5th June 2010.

"EjectorSeat Arts Festival turned the parks of Southampton into a hub of cultural activity showcasing new music, art and film in this special outdoor event on the 5th June 2010 where the park’s trees and street furniture was used to exhibit paintings, sculpture and photography."

Experimental Typography - Exhibition in Bournemouth Library

2010-06-07T21:09:00.005+01:00

Today we got the Experimental Typography posters up in the Bournemouth Library for the exhibition running from 7th to 21st June 2010. Now planning our visit to Finland for the exhibition there in September.

Brothers Grimm Dress Illustration

2010-06-06T21:48:00.006+01:00

My collaboration from last year with Scottacus Anthony for the Functions of Illustration/Apple Allergy/Fairytale dress (renamed Brothers Grimm Dress) has been waiting for a proper fashion illustration, and finally I had the time to revisit the project and do an illustration to it.

Also I am in plans of having a new photoshoot for the dress during this summer now that we have gotten a cape done to it too.

Altered Books Exhibition - Tudor London Visited cover

2010-06-03T19:13:00.005+01:00

My altered book is done. Hurray! I enjoyed working with this project a lot and could just play around with the materials and techniques. Ended up creating a bodice on the cover using cut out letters from the book, doing paper pleats for the skirt, distressing the papers with coffee and water and baking it in the oven.

"The books will form part of the 'Transformation' open exhibition, a Dorset Arts Week event, running from 9th June til the 10th of July. The opening will be on Thursday 10th June from 5.30-6.30 in the Bournemouth Library."

Progress from start to finish.

End of the academic year and start of summer

2010-05-27T18:02:00.006+01:00

Such an amazing feeling now that all is finished and I can concentrate on new projects. Some website design and publishing work, also some exhibitions in festivals etc. happening this summer.

Also some other news:

Victoria Smith's blog with my Divergence Project

http://toriesmith.blogspot.com/2010/05/divergence-metamorphosis-photoshoot-for.html

..and congratulations to Lucy Evans, a model I used last year on the Dark Art Photoshoot (http://kristerselin.blogspot.com/2009/06/dark-art-photoshoot.html), on joining the LMP-model agency. Also some of Tom Hole's photos of mine and Eva Lojdova's project can also be seen on LMP's site on Lucy's profile.

Divergence - The final product of moving image

2010-05-15T20:51:00.004+01:00

The final video took form while looking at all the different stills, video clips, stop motions and artificial particles that I had planned to use separately in the beginning, but now they started to have a cohesion when played together on the screen. So I decided to break down all the components and movements to build up the video that shows the multiple divergent uses of the pattern design in some of the different contexts it has been used; focusing on the laser cutting, garments, photoshoot and the treacle/particle animations. Other products i.e. business cards, a magazine submission and the box designs for the garments were left out from it to keep it simple and striking. The music I compiled for the video works well and has an energetic, fast paced feel to it and delivers a fly-like sound at some points.

I strongly think that in this unit I have reached a point that I am extremely happy with the done work and got as finished outcomes as I desired and set myself to do in the beginning. Showing a full line of different products and fully engaging in product design, art directing, project management and introducing moving image as a part to my own practice.

Expose Yourself- event

2010-05-15T20:37:00.007+01:00

"COME EXPOSE YOURSELF! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Expose Yourself is a new art exposé aiming to show Bournemouth and the world the talent of Arts University College Bournemouth students. These boys and girls live and breathe their art, and it’s time for it to be exposed.

Expect live art, music, and “open-mic” art all day til late at Sixty Million Postcards."

On top of all the previous work I had done for the unit, I decided to use the fly pattern in a different way in an exhibition done by the Arts and Events students in 60 Million Postcards 12th May 2010. This was done to give yet one more diverging outcome from my starting point and add to the variety of uses of the pattern. By taking my fly image to Illustrator and creating A1 sized lasercut pieces to the exhibition to be places on the windows. Also my narrative "Addiction" pieces were exhibited at the event too.

Divergence - Metamorphosis photoshoot

2010-05-15T20:23:00.009+01:00

I had my photoshoot last monday for the Divergence project and the outcomes came out really well. I wanted to shoot the garments on location and our greenhouse in the backyard suited the idea of being isolated in a confined space and separated from society. To emphasize the fly pattern the styling was to be kept minimal and have a graphic look to it (strong red eyes and black eyebrows and a sleeked back hair on a ponytail). To get the most out of the day and produce as much as possible, I ended up taking photos too simultaneously with the photographer and also having a camera recording footage that could be used later in the promotional video if needed.

Altered Books Exhibition - Tudor London Visited

2010-05-08T10:42:00.007+01:00

I am taking part in the Altered Books Exhibition, a new side project for me with an exhibition in the end.

The books used are 'withdrawn stock' from Bournemouth Library, and will be returned there to be included in the 'Transformation' exhibition, as part of Dorset Arts Week events, running from 9th June until the 10th of July.
The task is to create an altered book for the forthcoming exhibition by cutting, sculpting, removing, adding or completely deconstructing/reconstructing the chosen book. The one I chose is Tudor London Visited by Norman Lloyd Williams. Looking forward on creating something cool from this after my Digital Revolution deadline. Hmm, we'll see what form this book will take. I am sensing patterns and cut out things already.

Greetings from Little and Big MOO - Business cards

2010-05-08T10:27:00.004+01:00

Got the new and improved versions of my business cards couple of days ago. In our house it has been a business card madness with all of us designing cards and receiving parcels this month.

Divergence - Metamorphosis garments

2010-05-07T22:27:00.004+01:00

I received both of the finished garments today and I am ready for the photoshoot early next week. Hooray. The finished pieces are amazing. The jump suit is done by Scottacus Anthony and the short dress is by Clare Harman. Also I tried a new way of doing fashion illustrations with Illustrator to keep the crisp lines and the graphic look to them.

Divergence - moving image

2010-05-07T11:21:00.004+01:00

Finally getting somewhere with the moving image and understanding what I should do to achieve the outcome I want. All is still a bit too ambitious, so compromising will probably happen this weekend to finish in the time given.

A quick panic creation on Photoshop.

A tryout with the pattern and treacle on After Effects (looking better)

Divergence - chiffon and treacle= insanity

2010-05-07T11:08:00.003+01:00

Finally after a busy week (that is continuing still..) I can upload some stuff from the current project I am working on. In 7 days this year of study draws to an end and here you can insert the panic..animation/moving image..needs to be done. right about now!

The fabric screenprinting is done now and I have 5 m of chiffon and 2m of silk habitat done into a jumpsuit and a dress. Photoshoot for them next week and boxes lasercut asap. Crazyness.

As a note to anyone who ever wants to print on chiffon, it is the hardest fabric to print on (stretches and distorts the image and bleeds if you do not have the right amount of ink). Not to mention the washing and drying time with the screen (20 min after one print). Outcome looks good, but doing it is insanity!

And on that insanity note, I have been experimenting with treacle for my "animation" and using those bits as layer masks on After Effects to create the pattern. Still working on the final outcome and tweaking it, but all of this is extremely experimental and once again I am working in the kitchen to create interesting effects for my projects. Should build a studio around the kitchen table by the looks of it.

Divergence - patterns and more flies (part 2)

2010-04-25T21:55:00.008+01:00

I have been busy doing all the other things I need to do too (essays, exhibition organizing, summer planning, animating etc.etc.etc.) and still tweaking the flies.

Finally got the other pattern completely done for a 2nd year BA (Hons) Fashion Studies girl.

And the large pattern for my project is still slightly unfinished, need to make it tesselate properly so I can instead of fabric printing do it with screen printing instead to save time and much needed money.

Stop the Bus- event

2010-04-19T21:50:00.005+01:00

My narrative pieces are goign to be exhibited at the STOP THE BUS event this weekend 24th April 2010.

Looking forward on seeing them there.

"Stop the Bus is a collaborative arts event run by a small arts organisation called NACC, who aim to support economic development of independent artistic businesses. This event will take place on Saturday 24th April 2010 in Bournemouth Town’s Triangle. The event will celebrate independent artists and provide an innovative showcase space as well as a platform for artists to sell their work. There will be a double decker bus which will be used for gallery space as well as a large marquee for stalls. Outside on the triangle there will be music, live displays, stalls and much more."

Divergence - patterns and more flies

2010-04-15T22:12:00.006+01:00

I have been working on trying to turn the insect drawings into patterns that I need to get printed and finally it is going somewhere. Still need fine tuning these a lot, but it all might be do able.

Also I had a tutorial today about my project and it went surprisingly well and I just need to work out how NOT to make the work look too alluring/seductive and also the location I am using needs to be well planned and fitting considering the context. Tomorrow I have couple of meetings with people I want to collaborate with including fashion students, photographers and stylists. After that I can put all of the work into some proper order and update my busy schedule that only has 4 weeks left of this current academic year. *insert panic scream*

Divergence - more sketches and development work

2010-04-13T18:04:00.005+01:00

Slightly stressing with the Divergence brief, all that I am planning to do needs to be send of for printing preferably by the end of this week to get all of the product stuff done (supporting work), and I have been talking with my technician how to make the animation easier to do and I need to do some experimentations with a camcorder to see if I can create what I want.

More info to follow soon.

Drawings with wings.

Some quick ideas for bags and t-shirts, if I have time to do some of them.

Divergence - initial ideas and sketches

2010-04-07T16:24:00.005+01:00

Deriving my main point of interest from Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and The Fly, an American science-fiction horror film (1958 and a remake 1986). Focusing on transformation, divergent/deviant behavior. The animation I have in mind is going to be a lot of work and I am hoping that it is doable in this time period still left. I think I have my music sorted (2 possible soundtracks) and now I just need to concentrate on executing the images for it and first and foremost drawing up a storyboard to see how much work is still to be done..

The following image was a quick tryout to see how I could combine my elements in an interesting way. Playing around with creating patterns, transparencies and using glowy colours.

Divergence - the first stop motion tryout

2010-04-07T15:42:00.008+01:00

Finally got my head around to try to do a stop motion.

Nothing complicated and quick, just to see if this way of working would suit the project.

Also the actual topic needs tuning still, but I am getting there..haha

All I can say for now is that it is going to involve insects, ink, and a lot of patterns..hopefully.

"Meet your PRINTmaker!"

2010-03-15T20:29:00.005Z

Today we had a printmaking workshop with Andrew Parker (www.andyp.co.uk) and I paired up with Stephanie Drömer to create a childish and primitive looking jungle piece using cardboard, feathers etc. The actual printing will commence tomorrow because today we only had time to finish our massive 3 plates.

Dracula at The Lighthouse

2010-03-14T00:01:00.007Z

Today I saw the performance for Dracula and also the big posters put up at The Lighthouse, Poole. Extremely rewarding and a nice ending to a busy week. Relaxing at the theatre watching an eery and highly physical performance that the 3rd year Acting students performed, and seeing the amazing costumes that the Costume students had created from Oxfam's donated clothes. All in all, happy to be part of this project.

Experimental Typography - Exhibition

2010-03-13T23:55:00.004Z

...and in the end all of us pulled this off despite of assessments, presentations and deadlines in general on this hectic week. All work is exhibited in the Arts Bar at the Arts University College at Bournemouth and also will be in an exhibition in Finland, September 2010. It was very interesting and exciting to be working with people from different courses and really hoping to get similar opportunities in the future.

Experimental Typography - Workshop

2010-03-11T22:51:00.008Z

I was one of the students who got selected to attend an experimental typography workshop held by Kari Ojapelto who was visiting the Arts University College at Bournemouth from the Lahti Institute of Design. The workshop consisted of lectures, teamwork between students from Illustration, Graphic Design and Visual Communication, and individual

design work. The outcomes were experimental typography posters

and an exhibition in a public place. The posters will also be shown in

the Calligraphy & Experimental typography -event exhibition in

Lahti Institute of Design September 2010.

The brief revolved around the theme of Bournemouth attractions and tourism. The theme I got to work with after a randomly selecting from a list was mini golf.

I decided to try working with self-made type that resembled the mini golf courses and experimenting with blue foam, flocking, sand etc. Also playing with the wording, referencing to the British tea culture and to golf terminology at the same time.

"Come and enjoy family leisure time with a game of mini golf in the Lower Gardens or play at the superb greens of Queen’s Park, one of the great courses in the south of England. "

Website Update

2010-03-07T16:10:00.006Z

Finally had the time to update the online portfolio of mine, but really need to work on the new layout because I am revamping my site soon.

www.kristerselin.com

Dazed & Confused - Decade Drawn Out

2010-03-06T22:02:00.006Z

Couple of the pieces I managed to submit for the Dazed competition in February. The editorial team had selected their favourite covers from the past decade and the brief was to illustrate them in your own way. Just wished there would have been more time to actually do this when juggling with other projects. Ended up finishing two covers even though I did have sketches and ideas done for 6 of them.

Narrative

2010-03-06T19:48:00.011Z

I wanted to challenge myself to explore something new in this unit and the chosen text for my starting point was a contemporary dance piece that depicted a linear narrative, the subject matter being addiction in its core. I felt that it had loads of room to develop me as a practitioner and potential to interpret it in a different way.

Because I wanted to create more of a contemporary narrative piece than something that normally is associated with this genre, I ended up using passport photos and eroding liquids to show how addiction corrupts and changes the person. Keeping the main emphasis on the chance factor in the distortion and how you might be protected by the surroundings/circumstances when surfacing from addiction (you might come cleaner even though more time had passed). This approach seemed to be the most effective on delivering the "story" even though it was completely different to the initial storyboard end product wise that I created.

Bram Stoker's Dracula

2010-02-19T21:39:00.005Z

Finally got these to the printers today.

I was commissioned to design a poster for an acting play based on Bram Stoker's Dracula,

and it is always a pleasure to work with this director because of the artistic freedom and the communication of ideas we have. Really looking forward to next year already.

Dracula will be showing in The Lighthouse, Poole

Friday 12th & Saturday 13th March at 7.30pm

Saturday Matinee at 2.30pm

for more information and tickets visit www.lighthousepoole.co.uk

Saw a quick peek at the rehearsals today and it looked amazing, GO GO GO!

Visual Explanation

2010-01-24T13:30:00.019Z

I am so happy the Visual Explanation unit finally ended. I chose an abstract and experimental approach to visually explain "a leap of faith", using techniques and approaches I wasn't familiar with I created a book as my final piece to summarize the undertaken experimentations.

Creatures: Wax and oil colour

Gold Leaf: Gold leaf and melted ice structure

Obsolete Technology: Ice and C-cassette tape

Marbling: Ink + shaving cream and paper marbling done from it

Dance: Ink in water

Galaxy: Photography from metallic foil

Ice Sculpture: Melted ice structure and ink

Christmas Holidays=Work

2009-12-21T15:23:00.004Z

..and yet again, this Christmas will be similar to all the previous ones, except I think suddenly there is more work that needs juggling than ever before. Currently I am working on Visual Explanation brief which can be described with the word I am also explaining "a Leap of Faith".

My approach is to use techniques and methods I have not used before and having my technical process as a leap of faith on its own. We'll see how it is going and what the outcomes will be because I am experimenting i.e. with ink, wax and ice (and my work is in the freezer at the moment). This might be great or completely horrible, only time will tell.

And as if me stressing with that brief is not enough, I have a website to build, a pattern to tweak, cards to design, a poster to do and a new hushhush project that needs completion soon..

Exciting times, can't wait to write some more on these when I am allowed.

Happy Holidays to all!!

The Gut Girls

2009-12-21T15:12:00.004Z

Designed a poster and the programme for The Gut Girls that was presented by the 3rd year BA (Hons) Acting Students at AUCB. It was interesting to draw meat, blood and guts as my research. It was something that was way out of my normal repertoire and I do have to apologize if anyone thought I was losing it for a moment there.
