Dummy poster prints printed.... Finally!

I remember a university lecture debating whether digital art is real art and the whole contemporary format being an acceptable one, according to the lecturer "digital art isn't art if it doesn't exists in the real world, the physical world". I’m mostly a digital artist these days but I have to say coming from an art school background I had to agree. From my own experience and exposure within the traditional art and gallery exhibition scene I can say there definitely is a biased when it comes to accepting digital forms of art on the same plateau as traditional methods such as an oil painting next to a digital one, ignorance is part of the problem. I personally believe if you put your heart and soul into honestly expressing yourself bringing to life something original from scratch then it should be appreciated as a legitimate form. Now my non existent digital painting exists and it's a thing of beauty let me tell you. Heart and Soul.

The poster art was created for a short film called Dummy, as part of the Odeon Short Film Competition which won the Best Poster Entry 2009. The pieces above were re-worked in 2010 and printed in 2012...Finally!

Moon Rats... They're here! T-shirts, hoodies and vests from outer space on Redbubble

After a brief conversation with my friend Jason Ng, who told me about his new designer clothing brand u9ly Avenue I told him about these designs and how I thought they would make cool T-shirts. I used the assets from a project I did with London Bus-Tops over the London 2012 Olympic Games, check out the Behance project I'm hoping we'll be able to work together in the future. The designs are now available to buy on my Redbubble & Society6 stores Yuyanda's Blog of Art and Design, Animation and Illustration. 2020. All Rights Reserved.

The book will feature art from new and upcoming artists from around the world and will be avaliable to buy online. More info can be found here http://www.dragonbrusher.com/

ChitChatClick's Sharnie character design.

I was recently commissioned to create promotional poster material for a student film from Bournemouth University (UK) called ChitChatClick. The character design shows how the actors real likeness is captured through modern 3D animated 'cartoon' features. I also looked at Jason Brooks 'Fashionista' drawings for style and exaggeration. I gave her a contemporary high street sense of fashion referencing brands from H&M to NEXT to Debenhams which best reflected Sharnie's personality. Mobile phones play an integral role in the screenplay so a level of interaction with the accessory was critical, referencing Apple's IPhone for an authentic look. The story revolves around four modern women who communicate via mobile but when they finally meet face to face, all is not as it seems and things turn for the worse! Its short but sweet. Pencil media on 140gsm paper with subtle brush work. Mechanical Pencils. A4 light box. Rulers. Erasers.
