"Inspired by the love for my little sisters, each portrait was hand painted in mono minimalist fashion and evolved creatively each time. Their names from left to right are Zimara, Jamila and Opia. My vision was not to create a caricature instead simplicity is what echoes through, enhancing the features making them more beautiful and stylized."

Synopsis: Cheese is used to bait rats. Is the moon made of cheese? No, that's just a silly fable but giant space rats do rule over the lunar surface. The only dominant life form from the dark side of the barren rock. As the Tetris Space Shuttle blasts into orbit through the moody midnight sky, shooting stars signals the beginning of the Moon Rats descent to planet Earth below, a never ending alien invasion. One small step for man, one giant leap for space rats! Product Info: Size - 120cm x 50cm. Print - Panoramic print on stretched canvas.

God Help the Girl director Stuart Murdoch is the lead singer/songwriter of indie band Belle & Sebastian. In keeping with the bands bold two-tone album cover art I went for a minimal but more exciting full colour painting approach which should appease their fans with a single background colour to accompany each of the actor illustrations. The idea was if the illustration has a high saturation value then the background colour would be low saturation and vice versa. I later came across the Albers approach to colour studies which lead to finding the largest area of a hue from the actor illustration and producing a different colour within the same family for the background. I also attempted to combine these ideas with complimentary colours for each illustration and split complimentary colours to cohesively bring them all together.

For the painting process I decided to stick to a digital workflow using Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 with my trusty Wacom graphire 4 tablet. My creative direction was simple incorporating an opaque flat colour approach with little or no airbrushing. I sampled colour swatches from 4 different palettes with a high saturation value and bright hues. I wanted to repeat the use of a single colour and draw the viewer’s eye towards her face, as seen on the lips and head scarf for Eve played by Emily Browning. The colour work was applied using a slightly modified hard edged brush to preserve a clean finish behind the line-art. For the character line-art check out 'God Help the Girl' WIP part 1  http://yuyanda.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/god-help-girl-wip-work-in-progress.html For the leopard print dress on Cass played by Hannah Murray, I decided to isolate the dark areas of the pattern and trace it using Illustrator CS3 before adding any colour or brushwork in Photoshop CS3.

Post by Kazembe Alvaro Zakious Hamadi . I won the State of the Art Cinema 'design a movie poster' competition. I am overjoyed and excited to be offered a design role for an upcoming film release from Metrodome Distribution. It's an opportunity I have been working towards for over 4 years and a chance for me to further my career into the film industry. Here is the link to the project: www.yuyanda.cgsociety.org/portfolio/Frances-Ha-poster-art The award was for a quad poster design created for new wave indie comedy Frances Ha starring Greta Gerwig and directed by Noah Baumbach. It's not the first film poster based competition I have won but possibly the most significant one so far. In 2009 I won Best Poster in the Odeon Short Film Competition.

Simcity is a visual concept created for a student film poster commission called ChitChatClick. Mobile phones and inner city life are a crucial part of the script which has been incorporated into the visual language. Each character is assigned their own simcard with its own colour or tariff. The colour scheme is based on the Fauvist approach to clashing complimentary colours. ChitChatClick on Deviantart ChitChatClick on Facebook
