isn't it good, norwegian wood

I thought I'd better let you all know that I'm still here!  It's been a busy old month of screen printing (don't get me started) and quick deadlines.  I've just completed a magazine cover for a competition (watch this space) and a quick entry for Don't Panic's Norwegian Wood poster comp.  I'm not hugely proud of this one, but the book was so beautiful, I felt compelled to give it a shot!  

And I feel a little guilty admitting it, but I'm pretty massively excited about the film adaptation!

LISTENING TO: Radiohead's new album, The Tallest Man on Earth

This week I've been getting really stuck into my Black Swan poster project, for which I have been hastily illustrating twenty five stamps.  So, I thought I would share with you some of my favourites...

a hint of summer

After a couple of truly unsuccessful attempts, here is the image I've clawed together for my Fringe poster submission!  I'm up against some pretty stiff competition and there are more than a couple of niggling tweaks I need to do, so I don't know if this will cut it, but it should add some vibrancy to my portfolio at least!


I will update you all on my New Year adventures in Scotland very soon...I am eagerly awaiting the collection of my photos tomorrow (though I fear they may be reflective of the grey, dreary January weather) and of course, the hand-in of the dreaded dissertation (I can recommend these guys for binding, they seem to have done a splendid job).  In the meantime, I have a scary amount of work to do and a kettle to boil!


Happy New Year!

it's a cold one.

I'm not sure why I haven't blogged this yet, but it seems appropriate today!  Brrr.

I'm excitedly making plans for what I'm hoping will be a white snowy birthday next week...but I'm anticipating a sludgy, blustery one.

I've been a major victim of procrastination today.  The dissertation draft is in!  Now I need to try and disengage my writing brain and get on with some well-deserved doodling!  A cup of tea might help me along, we shall see!
