Music has always been a huge part of my life and I've constantly got my speakers on when I'm at my desk sketching out new ideas or working on a project. At the moment I'm loving a band called Catfish and the Bottlemen which is where I got my inspiration for this piece. Their song 7 has a lyric that goes "and I love you but I need another year alone"and I always find myself singing it out loud. Valentines Day is coming up so I thought what a perfect time to create something love related, well kinda. I've really been enjoying using physical and digital paper techniques and I used the same techniques with this new piece. Firstly experimented with paper then carved everything out of card and put together the heart which was then finally taken into Photoshop to edit and add to.
