Apologies for the awful scan :S This is a pencil drawing of one of the 3,673 people sleeping rough on the streets of London. Albeit Islington is known for being wealthy and trendy - it is also one of the most poverty stricken places in London, alongside Camden.
I am now thinking of doing a Monopoly style board game to help educate and encourage people to help London's poor. This awareness will not solve the problem but instead help people to break the vicious cycle of poverty.
Many people, when in vulnerable situations like being homeless, sleep or retreat into the fetal position. I might explore the idea of babies and produce an abstract poster with something along the lines of "You're not born homeless". This is however an idea in progress, which may or may not reach fruition.
I like this version of the grave digging fox. It's a more graphic approach compared to my previous biro and pencil attempts.
The lady sleeping on the bag, was drawn when I was slightly tipsy - hence the dodgy soil stain on her behind... Will probably have to try to draw this again! I was going to add aspects of an airport to illustrate the dispossessed sleeping rough at Heathrow. I thought about adding signs i.e. Departures and Arrivals. It doesn't have to be 100% accurately depicted, but there has to be airport elements to help the audience identify what and where it is.
Wasn't really paying attention when drawing this, I don't really like this at all. It's a drawing of a fox with a partridge in its mouth. Based on the news article of the dead baby being snatched from its grave by a fox, I was thinking perhaps of swapping the image of the partridge with the image of a dead baby. Not the most delightful of things to draw... Not particularly wanting to go down the dead baby drawing route.
I will draw some more trials of foxes. This is only a tangent, I'm not even sure if I even like this story enough to base the rest of my project on it.
