i visited the natural history first as its quite a nostalgic place for me, and for some reason was drawn to the taxidermy animals (next to the blue whale) with horns and antlers and spikes and stuff..
i decided not to use photography in the this catalogue because a. i don't have a very good camera and b. a photograph of a dead animal posed as if alive is all you need, so why go see it? its not like an antique gold vase that needs close inspection to get a real sense of it. Yes to get an idea of scale and splendor its best to see these animals close up, but there is possibly less wonder or intrigue, no price tag or makers stamp.
so i just drew, something im enjoying at the moment..just quick doodles and sketches which ive just been adding text to and experimenting with..
the actual text isn't always relevant to the image or makes sense as i was just getting a feel for how type would look next to my images and experimenting with compositon.. it was a case of cut and paste job and a photocopier, with the acception of a few..
anyways need to get back to work..
