My dream of being a professional Fashion photographer Illustrator/Artist inspires my artwork.
The first memories I have of drawing evolve around human figures and fashion. I work with various mediums including water colour, oil pastels. pencil and acrylic. I hope people can connect and be inspired by my art work, that they can draw their own interpretations from my works.
Title: Oooops!
Medium: Ink, Water colour and acrylic on paper.
Created: January 2011
This is Ollie's first artwork for 'Dreaming Hazel Dooney'. After doing research and learning about Hazel, Ollie obtained Permission to use photographs from her blog as a reference point. He feels that there is a sexuality that comes through in her blog and photographs that she confidently expresses. Within that context, Ollie feels that this picture 'Oooops! I did it' is unusual and not as direct. The hand covers the mouth and the eyes are squinting so Ollie decided to avoid some of the detail, choosing instead a soft focus.
At the Beginning of a journey Ollie explores how he did not really know Hazel, and wonders "do we ever actually know some one fully?"
Title: 'The Softer Side'
Medium: Water colours and pencil on paper.
Created: January 2011
This the third work From Ollie, was inspired by a picture of Hazel Dooney on the front of the magazine 'Obvious' The picture shows Hazels facial structure in more detail than the other peice's created.
Ollie Says, "There was a sence of truth in the picture but also a sence of concealment. I like the idea because I still feel like I dont really know her. I dont think you can really know someone untill you meet them and even then? However i do feel more of a softness from Hazel the more i read her blog, especially when she was writing about her father."
One again Ollie leverages the colour purple but this time in more a soft delicate way in contrast to her strong profile.
Oooops!
The softer side
