Tria Markers


I have become obsessed with Tria Markers by Letraset. They come especially grouped for disciplines from fashion design to architecture and have a variety of skin tones, brights and blender colours.
Here are some designs that I used the markers on..whoever invented them is a genius.

Sci-Fi artwork

My most recent project, based on the theme of "Science Fiction" has given me alot of crazy alien, robotic ideas for artwork. My main inspiration being the work of H.R Giger
I tried to focus on taking images of my friends and myself then transforming them into their alien/cyborg counterparts...which had some interesting results. Here is some of  my loose sheets from this project.

Ancient Civilization Inspired Dress

This dress was made for an "Ancient Civilization" based project where I mainly focused on the Aztecs, Mayans and Ancient Nepal, The top is machine embroidered scales stitched together to form a "breastplate", and henna inspired tear drops below to add a touch of softness.

Here is my mood board to show my main inspiration -
 



  

 


Blue Sea Inspired Dress

Here is a sample dress I produced for a "Weather" brief. For this one i was inspired by the waves and surf on the sea so the main colours are blue and white with white twisted fabric detail and blue machine embroidered swirls.
