For stripes i did a chameleon, with green and blue stripes.

A2 Doodle sheet

This is my doodle strip, i am happy as it reflects my style and emotion, mixed images everywhere and i love the stitch i did with the blue skull. Im not happy with thesome of the space i left.

Ralph Steadman, Laura McCafferty and Peter Clark

 An example of his work:

Ralph Steadman (born Wallasey, 15 May 1936) is a British cartoonist and caricaturist who is perhaps best known for his work with American author Hunter S. Thompson.
Ralph Steadman is renowned for his political,social caricatures, cartoons and also for illustrating a number of picture books. The awards that he has won for his work include the Francis Williams Book Illustration Award for Alice in Wonderland, the American Society of Illustrators' Certificate of Merit, the W H Smith Illustration Award for I Leonardo, the Dutch Silver Paintbrush Award for Inspector Mouse, the Italian Critica in Erba Prize for That's My Dad, the BBC Design Award for postage stamps, the Black Humour Award in France, and several Designers and Art Directors Association Awards. He was voted Illustrator of the Year by the American Institute of Graphic Arts in 1979.
Steadman had a long partnership with the American journalist Hunter S. Thompson, drawing pictures for several of his articles and books. He accompanied Thompson to the Kentucky Derby for an article for the magazine Scanlan's, to the Honolulu Marathon for the magazine Running, and illustrated both Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. Much of Steadman's artwork revolves around Raoul Duke-style caricatures of Thompson: bucket hats, cigarette holder and aviator sunglasses.

Laura McCafferty

 An example of her work, self portrait.
Though her work is bright, colourful and invokes beauty, the names are sinister, and quite dark, i believe this is to add raw emotion and add to the phrase, *no matter how big the light is in someone, there is always a vlingering darkness*
Since graduating in 2003, McCafferty has earned herself quite a reputation. Her work is a blend of traditional craft and contemporary, documentary-style illustration.
 One of her statements on her website: http://lauramccafferty.com/ :

"I am an obsessive collector of printed material; considering myself to be a textile anthropologist, continually sourcing and archiving each find in a deliberate and negotiated way. It is with these printed samples that I visually narrate social engagement. I like to engage people with the work, perhaps through discussion or actual representation. In the ideas I choose to pursue the underlying theme is reportage of the here and now.
My work follows a sequence of events to complete each final piece- always in the same methodical order. Beginning with the need to involve people (perhaps a text message to gather a group of friends who are dog owners, to make a piece of work to raise awareness for the RSPCA, The Crufts Misfits, 2007), or with a search to uncover the subject through discussion (maybe meeting with a junk shop owner who uses the detritus of life to tell me the story of a deceased resident, Maggie Fowler, 2009); photographing the subjects, line drawing, fabric applique, screen-print and hand-stitch.
I have used print since 2002, following a search to find a process to link my drawings (Maggie Fowler, 2009 and Old Card Players, 2008) with cloth. Screen-print is able to translate the accuracy, immediacy and quality of line of the ink drawing onto the surface of the cotton fabrics. Each colour or pattern that you see in the work is a separate piece of cloth that has been individually cut, placed and bonded and hand stitched. The line is powerful and gives the work its narrative and identity."

Laura McCafferty has long since regarded her work as documentary, recording the life events of ordinary people through drawing, which she translates into large figurative dramas in which her subjects are depicted with much humour and warmth. She admires basics of life, everyday living and emotion, captyuring it in each painting, and artistic illustaration.

Peter Clark:

I found this information at his website: http://peterclarkcollage.com/pages/home.html

Peter uses a comprehensive collection of found papers as his palette which are coloured, patterned or textured by their printed, written or worn surfaces, with this media he 'paints' his collages. He shades with density of print and creates substance and movement with lines plucked from old maps or manuscripts. His pieces use mark-making in an innovative and humorous way to create a collection of beasts and clothing which exude character and wit.

Just from looking at his work i can cleary see, he likes using objects to make a

bigger picture, like some of his work using items not related to the thing hes making but when he is done its a masterful piece of art. His main body of work involves, garments, beasts(animals) and dogs, it seems the materials he uses is to make and show nature.

I found Ralph Steadman to be my personal favourite as i love the dark aura of his work, emphasized by all the dark and bleak colours he uses. I love the quick, rough sketch style, as it adds a dark effect and strengthens the dark meaning behind all his photos.
Laura McCafferty uses a lot of bright and very real life paintings/ photos, though all looks happy and peaceful they have dark names which a think adds a real unorthdox style. I like the actual concept but i find the shades of colour boring.
Peter Clarke i loved peter clarkes use of other materials to make a bigger figure an example is the zebra picture above, i find it smart and very creative.

I believe there is a simularity between them which is that they all use or make there art in an unorthadox way, but alot of differences in the way they do they work, i believe Steadman Draws, Laura paints and Clarke uses matyerials.
