pillowcase feathers scene....
rita ackermann....
rita is a model who represents different characters and she really goes to town on it and she can look completely different....
richard prince........
i like the idea of writing jokes on high fashion accessories..... an idea to consider for the shoot. possible an in joke or a writen joke...
jack pierson photography....
we discussed in class about photography in the north and jack pierson is an example of what the preconceptions of people up north are like.... its how we dress.... its our attitude.... when in fact its just a small minute part of it and been blown up in a big proportion to create a personality or the images....
vanessa beecroft exhibition
vanessa's imagery is a good example of mixing sexuality with glamour but in a uniformed way which draws you in with its beauty...
vanessa beecroft
with a lot of Vanessa's imagery i found it rather uniformed which in a way im looking for a uniform for my tank girl and the idea of the shoot is about having an opinion of someone bye the way they dress but then is shocked by the attitude of the person dressed in that way.... role reversal....

location....
i did think of a location.... and not only does the place not have a website.... but is only going through a refurbishment.... it is the Lancashire museum. i used to go ther when i was a child and im pretty positive it has a large army tank build in the wall on the top floor.... gutted iv only just thought of this now.... would have been a fantastic shot location....
this is the tank at the museum, i remember it having green camouflage around it but as times go on, needs must and all that.... i jus thought it would be a great location shoot.... :)

bonnie and clyde??
hmmm this could be a thought for our scene.... shall think more about it later....
*IDEA*
the idea of having sleek tank girl and a suited gentle men both in a toy car like they are going really fast down the motorway.... running away together as though they have robbed a bank....(with monopoly money)....
pink car....
hot rod car...
chrome retro racing car....
i can see both models in a getaway vehicle running off with money flying out of the cars.......:)

i went for a wonder....
tank girl looking smart...
we could have the roles reversed and have the tank girl dressed smart and have a chav possibly in the background.....
hooded chavs.....
here trying to make themselves look 'hard'..;... by refering to...... 'innit, cha'...........
chav monopoly..........
i came across this image of a monopoly board...... but take a closer look.....:)

tutu...
a tutu could be worn in one of the scenes where she is rescueing the successful business man who is a bad man really...
suits....
as suits offer the impression of a wealthy business man who is successful... in our shoot we are wanting to change that image....
prison bars....
i was thinking about a scene where there is a man in the suit behind bars and the tank girl acts as an angel as if to 'help' him.....
chic bedroom....
this is a chic modern young girls bedroom.... all of these images show the impression of innocence....
girly bedroom...
as we have the tank girl being all innocent their could also be a scene where she is in her bedroom possibly painting her nails.... clearly stating that what the person wears isnt what their personality is....
preston prison.....
this could be a good photoshoot.... although its a pipedream though.... having the models actually in the prison and having the tank girl as a copper putting someone in their cell, such as the person in the suit.... :)
fulwood barracks and Kimberley barracks.....
a picture of fulwood barracks but will soon get an image of kimberley barracks.... where in fact i used to go to cadets at....:)
potential locations.....
BAE systems salmesbury.... having the planes in the background could be a good location shoot....
gentlemen and suits...... first impressions....
the impression we get from people when we see those in suits is rich, business man well to do man.... but what i want to give them impression is that the man in the suit could have just come out of court or heading to the jobcentre or possibly an interview. but its the sole reason that we get this well to-do impression..... just from a man wearing a suit......
so, i have the idea of havin the tank girl looking pretty, girly possibly painting her nails in a pink bedroom..... and the gentlemen could be sticking 2 fingers up giving attitude..... could have stolen something..... be about to pull a knife out.... or something of the equivilant.....

Jamie Hewlett presents new artwork at Oxfam’s climate change exhibition
October 16th, 2009 at 11:33 am.Paintings by one of the UK’s most innovative artists Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz, Tank Girl, Monkey: Journey to the West) will feature in a climate change exhibition organised by international development agency Oxfam.
Under Water Colours – Featuring Jamie Hewlett includes nine watercolours by Jamie following a trip he made with Oxfam to Char Atra in Bangladesh earlier this year.
On the trip Hewlett met people trying to raise their homes above the higher flood levels, parents who had lost children to the floods and children who swim to school with their books on their heads, determined not to allow the floods prevent them from getting an education.
Jamie said: “Char Atra is such an idyllic place and it’s horrific to think of it being simply washed away, devastating the community. I wanted my paintings to be optimistic as well as realistic and I wanted to show what a beautiful place it is. I hope by concentrating on the people and their every day lives that I have given people here in Britain something they can relate to.
“This exhibition shows how climate change is already affecting people around the world but also how we can all do something now to stop this from getting completely out of control.”
Drawings by some of the children Jamie met showing what climate change means to them will be on display at the exhibition, along with photographs, film and stories collected in Bangladesh by Oxfam.
The exhibition will launch just weeks before the UN Copenhagen talks in December. There, rich leaders must take the lead in negotiating a deal that prevents dangerous temperature rises and protects the world’s poor, who are already feeling its effects despite being least responsible.
Oxfam hopes the exhibition will encourage people to join Oxfam’s climate campaign and march at The Wave in London and Glasgow on December 5 to demand that the UK government pushes for the right deal at Copenhagen.
Phil Bloomer, Oxfam’s Campaigns and Policy Director, said: “Jamie’s artwork gives us some powerful insights into daily life in Bangladesh, despite the looming and growing threat of increasingly dangerous floods.
“This exhibition not only shows how climate change is a real and devastating threat to poor people, like those in Bangladesh, but provides people in the UK with a way to add their voice for a climate deal in Copenhagen that will address both the causes and effects.”
Limited edition prints of Jamie’s paintings can be purchased to support Oxfam’s River Basin programme, which operates in Char Atra and more widely in Bangladesh and Nepal. They are available priced £100 at the gallery during the first weekend of the exhibition or at www.oxfam.org.uk/jamiehewlett

Jamie Hewlett – the artist behind Tank Girl and Gorillaz – visited Bangladesh with Oxfam, to see for himself how climate change is already costing lives.
The experience inspired a series of watercolours, limited edition prints of which are now available to buy in aid of our work in Bangladesh and Nepal.
See the pictures in Bristol from 29 January–10 February 2010 at The Arts House, Stokes Croft.

the same artist who created Tank girl also designed the Gorillaz in 1999....... this was a cartoon based band that was being controversial towards the manufacturing of pop bands coming from the likes of 'Pop Idol', X Factor...... oh and whats that other one??........ britains got the pop factor....?
Jamie Hewlett co designed the Gorillaz with Damon Albarn.....

'Protective shield'....
also, as using the tank girls as our trend for the shoot the cigarette case could also be used as 'protective shield'....in a scene fighting against the enemy....
using the cigarette case....
i was thinking of using the cigarette holder as a belt buckle... as it is a large gold plated case with a coil on the inside possibly attach it to shorts or possibly jeans... thats one idea.... having a scene possibly with tank girls modelling in a line 'in the style army'.....

incorporating tank girl with the cigarette holder....
how this is going to work i do not know but using the cigarette tin could be used as a 'shield' or possibly a weapon or maybe a fashion incorporated and use it as part of the clothing. it doesn't necessary have to be used for its purpose but as long as it is used in the photo shoot all is well....
rhino tank girl
i dont think we could use a rhino in our photo shoot but it would be amazing to use a fierce animal of some sort.....
tomb raider....
