The Circus of Curiosity and Disbelief
"The Circus of Curiosity and Disbelief is a show the likes of which you have never seen. Circus whales perform alongside wonders from around the coast; Darrian's Technicolor Dancing Crabs, The Floating Head of Hue, Bearded Lobster and now with our latest addition to the family George and his Amazing Singing Limpets!"

What started as a two week found materials project in my first year of university developed into a world that has followed me ever since.
Challenged as a class to create a character only from materials that we were able to find, living by the sea I of course traveled down to the beach.

Having enjoyed so much creating the first and second drafts of George I decided during the summer as part of a Sketchbook project to try and flesh out some of the other characters from the Circus. 2nd Year.

Jennies bottles of collectable Sprites that hang within her shop so thickly that even the reader must part them to follow the story, to using photographs and taking compositions almost directly out from my sketchbooks.
