K-K-K-ATE
I said I'd try and upload my sketchpad from the project I produced based around Kate Moss.  I'm still trying to get everything scanned in and stuff.  But for now I'll upload a couple of the pieces I have saved on this computer and talk a little bit about them.


This was an illustration I came up with really early on in the project. I wanted to try and show how drug use within the fashion industry often leads to the corruption of models. The boots and the dress represent this idea, they are physically taking over Kate. The limbs are elongated and purposely very thin, there isn't really any 'hidden meaning' behind this. I just like skinny bitches.

There came a point during the project where I kind of got sick of the work I was producing and wanted to do something different, so I started to look at figures throughout history who were as controversial at the time as Kate is today. Marie Antoinette sprang to mind immediately, so I created this image of Kate as her inspired by the colours used in Sophia Copolla's film about her life.
