Recently i've been reading Plato and Kafka, listening to gay against you and suburban kids with biblical names, tryig to finish off college work and planning my trip to America next week. Busy busy busy.

OMGWTFUPDATE?

I bought that coaster for 20p today, i love it too much to use it.



Im sorry i never update, i really wanted this to be something i update regularly but im just so busy with finishing off college at the moment. Im just looking forward to this summer, come June i'll be living with my boyfriend in Manchester and hopefully putting on lots of gigs which means drawing lots of posters. I just need to survive a few more months...

Cellulose printing

Whats funner than spending an afternoon getting high off of paint thinner fumes all in the name of making some pretty distressed looking prints? Not much. These arn't too clear due to my sub-standard printer, but they're basicly some really nice distressed looking old sea side postcards ect for my new project on the decline of british sea side resorts.








What's not very fun is being bullied by your father to come down the pub because "there's some band playing." Gee dad thanks, just what i want after spending all day stressing about how much work i need to do, and what!? a band!? BRILLIANT as a youth i automaticly love all "bands" that play down crappy pubs in the arse end of Southsea.

The prospect of gin is one too exciting to ignore though...

Oh man im so ill. Its that horrible swollen throat snifflyness than no one takes seriously but feels SO awfull and gives you a really icky red hurty nose. So ill make this brief. I improved on my birdy, i didnt like the wonky lines so i did them all with a ruler in my moleskine. Creamy yellow paper and super straight lines improve everything.



I really want to put him on a tote bag or a teeshirt or something and perhaps sell some on, i really need to get on to setting up and ETSY shop, seeing as im deffinatly moving out in July i need money. Im going to finish this up and leave it short and sweet, otherwise ill just start whining about how rubbish i feel

Wow, so i havn't updated this in a while, i should have mentioned my updates would be sporadic at best...

I've actually got a good excuse, i've been in Manchester the best part of the week for university interviews. I have no observational drawing in my portfolio, which is bad, what is good is that Manchester City College have accepted me which means im deffinatly moving to Manchester in July(ish), however i still have to wait a few weeks for MMU to get back to me.

Ill have some new art stuff soon, i promise!

I got some slides back from when i went to Lake Windermere, im pretty pleased with how they came out, and i even mastered the negative scanner. Other than that, theres not much to say. My zine for my university application is coming along OK, not brilliant, but ok im hoping to do two more drawings tommorow and then really kick things up on Thursday, and if i really need to, take Friday morning off to get everything finnished before i head up to London, then off to Manchester. Its all very exciting/nerve racking.

So today i got the date for my interview with Manchester Metropolitan University, its next Monday. Next Monday as in seven days away from now. Next Monday as in oh holy fucking shit i havn't started my entry project yet. So i've spent the afternoon getting it all together and fretting about what to take in as my portfolio.



This is the first page. The style of drawing is slightly inspired by Quentin Blake (the artist i chose to look at from the project brief) Its supposed to be buildings in Manchester (pretty arn't they? even though i used some artistic licence) ill then go on to document the train journey, our boat trip and the lovelly walk we took (including me falling down the mountain.) So wish me luck and i can promise a few more updates in the next few days including, hopefully, photographs of the finished product

1AM, Drone music, lots of patterns = huge headache. I've just started my new graphics project. Im creating a zine called No Purchase Necassary. It's a art zine based around ideas of consumerism. The zine bit i dont have a problem with, its the anti consumerism bit im finding difficult. I've only just realised, i really really like stuff. Im contemplating buying a graphic tablet so i can try doing some stuff on illustrator (before my free trial runs out) but i've never used one, and £200 is alot to pay for something that i may be absolute shit with. Plus, i really want to get my shiney new macbook soon...
