Weekend Update

Had a few ideas since yesterday, was at work today serving customers when I spotted a tourist with a Louis Vuitton bag, and how did I know it was Louis Vuitton? Cos it was bloody covered with that recognisable print! (Don't get me wrong I Love Louis Vuitton, and i'm thinking of investing in a hand bag myself-ala fake Cyprus :P) It's maximal in many ways-the repetition of the 'LV' logo and the floral symbols, the multitude of items available for purchase (Real and fake) with it printed throughout, and the amount of people that own them! So I took my own take on the print and had a go when I got home:

I created my own brush on photoshop using the letters 'L' and 'M' as well as 'IS' (LESS IS MORE) and just replaced the 'LV' with it. I think it's worked rather well and takes quite a humorous approach to the maximalist idea.

I also was thinking about how people quite regularly are tattooed with lyrics or names in a maximal way and how tattoos can sometimes take over the body. Also researched into the graphic style of making up images of people through text and had a go of my own: 

Hopefully you recognise that as twiggy? Need a bit more practice, but I could potentially do a series of these? 

Green light meeting tomorrow...ahh :O
