Original Linos for Hawley poster

 I was struggling for ideas so I decided to draw and cut out the images I had gained from the background research.

There where several key elements that I pulled out that I wanted to focus on and I felt that needs to be in the image.
In most of his posters already he has his Gretsch 56 guitar. Really love the shape this guitar , and the smaller shapes that coincide it. I chose to cut this out large (A3) scale, so I was able to add in fine details and into it. Also when scaled down it had a detailed quality.

The prints above where done quickly and on a much smaller scale as they are not going to be too significant to the image. But they are there incase. The half a tree here I thought would help the composition of it a bit more , and also because I found out that Richard Hawley did a campaign a while back in support of saving urban trees.

This flock of birds is just made with ink and brush. I thought that cutting it out of Lino would waste time and I wanted the quickness of the brush to influence that shape that where made, add variation.

It took me a while to get the proportions of the shed right. I have drawn it open inside because I want to place the objects inside the shed. This will hopefully provide some context to the image and add a small narrative too.  I also chose to cut this out A3 because I plan for this to be the central part of the image. Disgrace land is his shed and it makes sense for this to be the focal point.
