Marwell Zoo Zany Zebra campaign 2016 update 13

CASA BRAZIL  Zany Zebra by Martin Davey design vs finished sculpture

Recently, official photographs were taken in a studio showing my two completed painted Zebra sculptures for the Marwell Zoo 'Zany Zebra' campaign, which are due to be seen publicly on the streets of Southampton during during the summer. The start date is 16th July 2016 and runs until October. This design is sponsored by CASA BRAZIL, a Brazilian themed restaurant chain in the south of England (the other Zebra not shown here is by Associated British Ports). The image shows on the left the original design as drawn in photoshop. On the right can be seen the finished, life size painted sculpture. It can be seen that the design has transferred well from the flat, 2D image. Sometimes slight alterations are made because of the fact of dealing with a 3dimentional object can reveal 'gaps', not apparent in the 'flat' workings out. The colours have some changes, notably the yellow as an exact match was not available with the emulsion paints I tend to use on these projects and the photo as introduced a slight colour shift anyway.
