Owlpoo.com - Near to its completion!
Owlpoo.com - Near to its final completion! Well, it surely has been a while since blogging! Since my last post in February a lot has happened personally and in the world of Owlpoo. A whole month in March and April consisted of finalising plans to move country, moving out and moving in went smoothly and now Owlpoo will be based in Dubai. :-)
I'm feeling more inspired than ever and recentely there has been a change in my drawing style. I began drawing an image for an up and coming story "The Albino Peacock" and decided to add much more thorough detail and began experimenting with different mediums. I produced an image that I was incredibly proud of, and decided that a lot of the images used in Foxgloves look pale in comparison. This made me re-think all my past drawings, and I have therefore had to remove old drawings and replace them with newer ones, perhaps changing the composition or adding more colour. I simply hated my past drawings and didn't want them featured on my site!
I'm SO excited to announce the launch of the Owlpoo website, it's so close, and I know that another hard day's work of preparing material such as moveable flowers, ;) mushrooms, ;) scrollbars ;) and new illustration etc means another day closer to the launch.
For those that don't know, Owlpoo is going to be an Organic Illustration Site, featuring Children's Stories and hand drawn animation. The illustrations are going to accompany hand written text, these stories will be written by myself.
Hands down, without my wonderfully inspiring James with his incredible knowledge of programming, non of the amazing features and interface of Owlpoo would be possible, a big big thank you with all my heart. :) Us two as illustrator and programmer have been working non-stop to get everything together.
I'm wanting to spill the beans about the website interface ;) but perhaps I shouldn't let words tell the story, but leave it to your own eyes. Owlpoo is going to be an interactive experience for children, with moveable character's on screen. It's nature in all its glory. That's all I'm going to say for now!
I'll leave you with a few new Illustrations, please feel free to give comments and suggestions! Not long until the launch, watch this space! www.owlpoo.com
