Ivor Cutler was a subject of a short illustration project over summer, I focused on illustrating two of his poems/songs, 'Baby Sits' and 'Old Oak Tree'.
'Baby Sits' is a song about a child who is neglected by his/her parents, it is a classic Cutler song and is both bizarre and moving.
I was particularly interested in the way Ivor's songs were on the face jolly and comedic but hid a dark meaning behind the jokes.
Throughout the year i was also interested a lot in sleep, in dreams and the protection we can feel while under the covers.
Below are some other various ideas and illustrations from last year.
