This artwork is based around animal welfare and how i personally believe poaching and hunting is a despicable act. I chose to do drawing based artwork for this piece as it would allow me to get fine detailing within the artwork. This drawing is of a buffalo skull as these animals were hunted near on extinction for there horns. As they were hunted for there horns i decided to replace them with weapons used when hunting. A rifle gun and machete.

This project was a commission for St James hotel in Nottingham where me and fellow classmates had to produce artwork revolving around Nottingham in some way. I chose to look at buildings and architecture for my theme i then narrowed it down do producing a large scale fine liner drawing of Nottingham's oldest pubs. The idea behind this work was to showcase that Nottingham has a variety of some of the oldest Inns in Britain. Having my work on display in St James hotel would give visitors an idea of somewhere to visit on there stay. This commission project gained me skills in communicating with a well established business to discuss my ideas to determine whether it would work well with the hotels aesthetic. I also had to help hang my art and work on the display of the show.
