Off the back of the peer review

Feedback sheets








Slytanic as a zine was said by my peers to be too good to just be in a zine, and that zines are throwaway. Slytanic should be a hardback bound book and then I could invest more time into the illustrations

However, after further discussion we questioned the audience of the book - where would it be sold? Who would buy it? We figured the audience wouldn't be as big for a book like that compared to something that was online. It was named internet humour, and should remain on the net as part of a blog or an online shop of products.

From this I have decided to combine my dicapricards in with this idea of an online store that sells products Leo-related. This would be the card range alongside zines that put a twist on leonardo films (as the titanic would) but instead picks out key scenes to mock.

Where I've gone from there:

I decided I need to watch ALL of his films
Films Ive seen :


  • the titanic
  • wolf of wall street
  • romeo and juliet
  • django unchained
  • inception
  • what's eating gilbert grape
  • blood diamond
  • shutter island
  • the great gatsby
Films I HAVENT seen:

  • the revenant
  • the departed
  • the aviator
  • catch  me if you can
  • gangs of new york
  • the beach - whaaaat
  • revolutionary road
  • j.edgar
  • the basketball diaries
  • the man in the iron mask
  • body of lies
  • this boys life
  • the quick and the dead
  • total eclipse

I started with the revenant. Watched it over the weekend and its very lengthy I had to split it over two days.


I started looking into leo merchandise and how playful I could be. There seems to be a lot of this out there, but not illustrated. That's what will give it the edge.



Ideas blasting out my head : 

  • notebook or sketchbook - DRAW ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS
  • pencil cases  - sell me this pen
  • prints
  • badges
  • mugs
  • i party with gatsby - on a wine glass or tshirt
  • leo sat on his phone at oscars - on the back of a phone case
  • inception ideas about dreaming - on a pillow case/cushion case
  • valentines : ill go down on you like the titanic, i wanna hit that like an iceberg, he looked at her the way every woman wants to be looked at by a man, is your name oscar cause i want you so bad, see you in your dreams, under loves heavy burden do i sink, oh my god (bites fist)
  • Gilbert grape party invites :

Sympathy, thinking of you, get well soon or sorry your leaving cards :


Car air freshener








Film quotes on a mug of the levels of when your tea runs out

I would also like to experiment with wrapping paper as I have done previously for collectives as I think this would sell really well.
