An artistic exploration of the "Public Enemy Era", its protagonists: its famous G-men and the infamous fugitives they chased, its urban legends and the hollywood glamour through which it was later perceived.

These are some quick illustrations developed from the possessions of Bonnie and Clyde in gouache on paper and patterned paper cut-out.

Guns
Further sketches of Clyde Barrow. While drawing earlier designs for his character I noticed that repeat pattern worked well amongst such rigid and economic lines. Moving on I plan to focus on the idea of imagery repetition- also inspired by a photograph I stumbled upon depicting the numerous license plates registered to different states that were recovered from the death car- I'd like to make a record of some sort cataloguing weapons, hats, shirts, shoes, license plates, bottles, cigarettes etc that acts as some sort of visual 'props cupboard' to represent the lifestyle they lived.
I think I shall also begin to integrate some colour in these studies.
