Sean in the workshop and feeling like a real man

Hey,

Didn't actually know that all the blogs got deleted from the links, anyway I've now posted mine back up. Check it out to see daily updates of how my moulds are coming along in the workshop

Joanna's FMP Update




My FMP has expanded to include a live brief which I'll be working on alongside my vending machine. The client is Artforum, a UK based gift and home accessories company who commissioned me to design a set of 6 japanese street fashion dolls. These are a continuation of their existing range of 'Momiji Dolls' which are available in retailers including Paperchase and John Lewis.

I'm currently coming up with ideas for packaging and peripherals (stickers, tags, illustrations). The client is very excited to have this project as part of the Chelsea Show. Ana, please let me know if it's possible to include this as a piece in the 'freelance' section of the Brighter Journal. There's a chance their PR agency may contact you.

On the subject of my vending machine, I'm going with recognisable human characters (the two shown above, and currently working on a 'Chavtastic' series). I'd be really grateful for any suggestions people might have about what other characters they'd like to see in the machine. These could be famous people, stereotypes, historical etc (better still would be a 'collective' title which groups a particular series together). Ideas?
