Leeds Canvas - Overworlds and Underworlds

My Cookery Book!

Over the last few months I've been working on an illustrated cookery book, this is one idea for the front cover. It's mostly baking recipes but will also include a few tips and essential lists for cooking tools/larder   ingredients etc. Any feedback would be great!

The Great British Weekend

Whilst working at the Pleasance in Edinburgh I also worked designing on a show called The Great British Weekend, a site specific promenade show performed across the Mound, ending the the entire set being packed into the car and driven away!

Below are some initial costume and set sketches for the show.

 The performance began in the 1920's at a badminton game in a grand country house garden, then moved into the 1950's at the beach, a 1960's protest rally, 1980's consumer hell, ending in the present day packing the car to leave to go on holiday.
