Developmental Work

I have done some sketches to help me decide what kind of method to show my rights of passage. I have came up with the idea of using the same style as TokiDoki, a quite well known designs which are found on clothing and other merchandise. I was in my room when i was looking through my clothes and i found my hoodie with the TokiDoki design on and as i looked at it, it was like telling a story and because i want a childish feel to my work i thought this would be the best way of working.


I'm also looking at more into my friends who i value so much and because they are bright and childish themselves and they have their own way of recognising them e.g. Naomi wears a Pikachu hoodie. tokidoki ("sometimes" in Japanese) is the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand created in 2005 by Italian artist Simone Legno and his business partners Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold.

Tokidoki produces apparel, footwear, accessories and other products using art, iconic characters and the tokidoki logo designed by Simone Legno, including purses, t-shirts, vinyl figures, jewelry, and small toys.
Simone describes how he feels that his work is childish and mature which is exactly how I see my own work and is the way i want to carry on working in.

New Project

For this project I will be working on looking at my life and things that have made me who I am now no matter how small the topics shall be. I have came up with my title for my work which shall be ' I'mmature? ' this sums up whether the viewer thinks I'm mature or Immature. I want to show stages of my life maybe focus on the childish things because I still feel very much childish but I also want a darker side to it. I will begin at looking at Biographical artists such as Tracey Emin because her works are about herself and her life experiences such as her bed which was actually lived in. Then i'll research artist that interesr my more childish side and give me inspiration on what kind of style I could progress my work in.
