having worked on these drawing, i had a talk with kevin he liked the inages, thought it was strong idea , but need to make them more relevant to the curse, decided i would try and add images in to the pictures that come from the curse. in a part its says i curse thir cattle, so with the image i have so far, i found a picture of a cow and fitted this in to the drawing, it actually gave it a humorus effect a kind of nonsensical effect which is relevant to what i want to do, as i believe the curse is nonsense and for people to believe in it are bit childish and silly.
the three picture each are slightly different wanted the cow to stand out to sho that this was the cursed part.

after doing the last couple of images i wasnt happy with then, it wasnt really get across what i wanted to say, rather than a book i started to think about a colouring in book, it would be interesting to see the viewers reaction when they see there children colouring it in then read the words that are in it,the curse its self is very dark and serious i really should have it up on here by now but its so long it would take up alot of room, il add the link ,

had another tutorial with kevin, looked at my last images talked and decided to look at more relevant images for my childs book , so i headed up town and took some pictures of the carlisle town centre and the people in the area of the centre , i also went to an artist talk with chad mchail who works alot in cartoon and illustration which gave me the idea to trace around the photographs that i have taken . these are some the images that i have got so far

having taken lots of photographs of carlilse and not sure where i can take them, decided to consintrate more on the curse of carlisle, started drawing child like drawing and adding the curse to it, kind of poking fun at the curse and people who believe in them.

had my tutorial with kevin today, i seem to have too different ideas at the moment, one with the photographs of the area, one with the curse of carlisle. helped talking to him told me rather than look at obvious places like the cathedral and the railway station, look to areas that i would not normally look at to find the beauty in it.
also need to look in to childrens books looking at idea for styles, writing an so on, he liked th idea of putting the curse in to a childrens book, making it in to a fairytale.
