Off the Wall

The original mural by Alison Day

This image and a small FILM, I made many years ago, are all that are left of a mural I created for my son's bedroom wall. (S'cuse the inferior quality)
For me, the question had always remained: What was the story behind the mural?
With that in mind, I'm about to self-publish—the story behind the mural as a children's book and one that I have written, illustrated and designed too.
Currently, I am working towards self-publishing the story, via a crowdfunder. So, watch this space and my other social media...

Living Doll

Just had to share these amazingly lifelike and original toys created by Russian based artist, Santaniel.

Made from a combination of fimo clay, fabric fur and wire, but they almost seem to be alive!  For more: here

Bed Head

Incredible what some people can do with a bit of imagination, sand, and a little water.

The Sketchbook Project 2011

 

The Sketchbook Project Tour 2011
'Face in the Crowd' by Alison Day Designs

It’s like a concert tour… but with sketchbooks 

Starting in Brooklyn NY in February 2011, 10,000 sketchbooks take to the 

road and travel around the USA for a period of five months visiting a total 

of 8 states, stopping at various galleries and museums for public viewing.

I received my moleskin in May this year, with the idea that I fill it however I want according to a theme chosen from a long list thought up by Art House Co-op  - 'Face in the Crowd' appealed. Now in September I'm pretty much finished, just last minute touches and I want to scan it in for my records.

Shortly, I will be sending off my completed moleskin to New York, USA to join the throng of other sketchbooks for the 2011 tour around the United States. The books can be seen and borrowed (like a library book) in various pre-selected galleries and museums before finally ending up in the Brooklyn Art Library for posterity.

UPDATE: July 24, 2012

The finished sketchbook 'Face in the crowd,' can also be seen here: Behance account.
