Under the Sink

Time seems to be flying. I think I missed my 10 year blog anniversary! Congratulations to me! I don't seem to be pushing on enough with my art as I would like to, so I am currently trying to re-navigate ways to do this. The prospect is a bit frightening, but maybe it is time to grow up and follow what I should be doing.

I've just started Project 2 of the Children's Book Illustration Course with the London Art College. My first project was pretty shocking I admit. I have been looking at the newsletter with other students work and getting inspiration and get up and go to do a better job this time around. Here are my initial doodlings.

The wasp landed in my bath this weekend and initially I was too freaked out to take it outside, but finally got the courage to do so. There was something immensely beautiful about it. After I took it outside I think it ended up dying. Rest in Peace dear Wasp.

Delicate work

Well I'm in a metal mood today, so am I have been on youtube for about an hour reliving all my favourites and headbanging. Yep, long hair comes in useful for something! Currently listening to rage against the machine "killing in the name of" and would post here, but yep, it's got a bit of swears (as one of my friend's says) so I shall behave ;-). Here are some of the pages from my prototype book which got turned down and I've got quite a bit of work to do on, I think especially the text narrative or narrative full stop actually. Anyway, I've got a tutorial on Tuesday about how to develop it further so thought I better post some pictures here since I handed in the initial about 2 months ago. See ya for now and have a good day!! PS My dad's book got lost in the mail - so I'm just a bit disappointed about that - looks Iike I'll just have to make another one :D

Summer books

Firstly, I'd like to thank Sarah, aka Brizzle, for the Strawberry swirl lollipop I'm eating right now. A good birthday present and clever me hid it under all the unread magazines in my room (haha) and voila it has now been discovered 3 months later. Secondly to my dad, I like to call him my Papa, for waiting 9 months for his Christmas book. Unbeknownst to him, it is on it's way right now airmail to Australia and fingers crossed he gets it - after all this time. Also to Amelia and her lovely family for a wonderful adventurous Christmas in Inverness. Thirdly to Jonny, for inspiring (unknowingly) the DIY theme of my last summer book, which he now has - and I trust it is still in good condition :-). Fourthly, to the ECA panel who took the time to look at my proposal and book for the stall at this year's London Art Book Fair, which alas was not accepted in the end, but good news is that it gave me an excuse to spend a number of lovely summer days at the Loch. I think the seagulls got sick of seeing me so they made sure to decorate my car whenever they happened to fly past. Here are some pictures of the first two books (hope my dad gets the original before he sees these!). I'll leave putting up photos of the last book till later.
