Here are some images of Zak Smith's project 'Illustrations for each page of Gravity's Rainbow' a similar project to mine at the moment. I'm currently more interested in how he presented this project than the actual style of his work at the moment. I had been wondering whether to present my drawings for the book 'Siren's of Titan' as a booklet or put them on a wall,   or maybe some other way of presenting the pages. I like how Zak's work looks on a wall so will probably go for a similar approach in presenting my own work.

My one concern about this approach however is that one of the main things I like about this way of exhibiting is that you get a sense of the vastness and variety of Zak's work in the project. I may not be able to create enough pages to get this effect. The difference in the size of paper used (I'm using a4 paper while Zak used a5) may also change the effect the presentation has.
I'm also interested in presenting my pages on a corner of wall but am doubtful I'll have enough work for that.

 One of the issues I had with this project is that there is such a range of things I have to draw that it can be hard to get the effect I want through drawing from my imagination or using reference material. Due to this I have to think of different ways of drawing an image than I would usually eg. different angles, different distances and using things like symbolism and iconography. Much of this work is more suggestive than my usual practice. To get ideas on how to do this I've looked at artists such as Geoff Grandfield who uses silhouettes and strange angles along with simple backgrounds to get across information in a succinct yet simple and interesting manner

I also looked at Sandro Chia who gets away with not drawing everything very realistic with warped proportion and perspective because he compliments these aspects with vivid and hyper expressive colour. It makes his work work I think because you easily see it's not meant to be reality. This may be something I look at however I don't actually like the aesthetics of the distorted figures in his work and think his work is mainly successful due to his large use of colour which is something I'm trying to avoid.
