Lets go down to the pier today... (hullabaloo catalogue)

Well the first thing I have to say is how amazing it was to have a day off and have some fun!! Spent the entire day at Brighton, on the beach and pier. I haven't been since I was 13 (8 years ago!) and it made me feel like a kid again. Thoroughly enjoyed every second, the colours, the rides, the noise, the excitement, the ice cream, fish and chips EVERYTHING!! After I have finished uni, I am definitely going for a longer visit to experience more than just the beach and pier. Here are some photos I am going to use for references to create my image.

the old pier (burnt down) won't be using this, but thought it was interesting

whats a pier without an arcade?

The entrance!

Went with a friend I've known for years, made the day a great laugh! Won't be using this but you can't not have your photo taken in AT LEAST one of these!

can't play those games without change

arcade 

I like the text and colours of this sign...

Loved the luminous lighting

Hook a Duck - oldest game in the book?

Not really into the whole 'fortune telling' thing, but loved the carriage. 

Candy store - Of course!! - good text.

Everywhere was so full and busy, want to make sure I capture that in my image!

no funfair without a carousel.

SO MUCH FUN 

The most decorative ride of all.

HELTER SKELTER

For two 21 year olds... we didn't manage the dark too well... (haunted house)

One of thousands of Seagulls

Bumper cars - a bit too aggressive for us! but definitely illustrating them...

I think we visited this machine one too many times... as i'm sure most others do!

Fish and Chips

YUM.

So many things on one platform!

The Brighton Lobster

I can never manage to finish it before it starts to melt - delicious.

My plan is to create several fine liner drawings and lino cuts to scan into the computer and collage together. I will then colour them digitally.

I want the image to be really busy and colourful and to remind me of the excitement I felt.
