Auction

2011-12-10T14:11:00.001Z

The auction was great, some really nice artwork; wish I'd had the money to bid on some. Lots of money raised for charity. When I left the winning bid on mine was £150 :)

I think I'm addicted to drawing waterside villages. It must be what living in London does to me.

My drawing in my last post made it to the final 100 drawings from the 10X10 London Auction! Click on the above link to see all the drawings. Mine is page 76 of the online catalogue. I shall be attending the auction this Thursday at the German Gymnasium in Kings Cross. Fingers crossed someone bids for mine, all proceeds go to the charity Article 25.

10x10 Drawing the city

2011-10-09T18:31:00.002+01:00

A drawing made for an internal competition at the Architect's I work at (Aedas) with the real competition in mind for 100 architects to make a drawing of the city, the brief being to make a drawing from a small section of the city given to you from a 10x10 grid satellite picture of the City of London. This was drawn not far from Bank station on Threadneedle Street.

2011-03-16T12:43:00.003Z

Have not long finished designing some wedding invites for a lovely couple- Jon and Gabi. Will get some pictures up of the proper printed article soon. Loved doing this- may start up my own hand-drawn wedding stationary business?

Experiments in screen print

2011-03-02T14:12:00.002Z

Here are some of my first ever experiments with screen printing that I got the chance to do at London Print Studio before I went away traveling. The third image I created during my short course in screen printing, exposing collage images. The first two I created with some of my own drawings in my first couple of sessions in the studio on my own. Can't wait to get back there to experiment some more.

Land of the Kiwi

2010-12-20T02:22:00.005Z

Ok so it has been way too long since I've last posted. I have no excuses but I think admin work zapped my creativity - it did mean i could be where I am right now in the middle of a four month trip around the world. Have been to LA, Fiji and now in New Zealand. Queenstown. Off to Mount Cook tomorrow and Christchurch for Christmas. Seen some amazing scenery here like nothing I've seen before. This trio of photos came from the start of our trip around NZ- Auckland. Earlier in the day had been a Santa Parade in the 29 degree sunshine.

More on the film

2010-02-16T21:08:00.006Z

Here's some more drawings for We Once Were Tide. Been really enjoying having more time to do some more drawing. Also looks like I am going to be working on a project for a small publishing company and make some illustrations for a 'Pocket Spellbook' which should be fun. I'm also about to start an Arts Administration internship at The London Print Studio .
I get to use the printmaking facilities during my the time there as well so I can't wait!

we once were tide

2010-02-01T23:09:00.006Z

Drawing inspired by We Once Were Tide .
A short film soon to be made by my friends Matthew Baskott and Jason Bradbury. I'm working on some illustrations for them at the moment to be used for promotional material- possibly to be animated with some film sequences.

Bruges

2010-02-01T23:05:00.005Z

Ishihara

2009-06-15T19:46:00.003+01:00

This is a piece I created for the last Ishihara exhibition in Sixty Million Postcards in Bournemouth, using drawings from my last project at uni.

2009-05-18T23:41:00.001+01:00

Another quick drawing- this time of an Edinburgh skyline. I'd love to go back there again soon.

2009-05-10T00:16:00.004+01:00

Well just handed in all my work, so there it is- my education is over. Now that I don't have any pressing deadlines to motivate me Ive decided I must push myself to make sure I keep drawing everyday and don't let myself slip into even more laziness and procrastination. Here's my quick 2 minute sketch of the day of a guy I saw in nme- think hes in babyshambles, who I thought looked like he hadn't slept for a year.

2009-05-09T22:41:00.003+01:00

A couple of drawings made on a project last year that I quite like regarding people's possessions and the processes of collecting and hoarding.

2009-05-09T22:29:00.003+01:00

Not long ago my friend Jason (soon to be epic film maker) used my illustrations and handwritten text for his website for a film hes making. Click here to see the website. The short grad film sounds like its gonna be really lovely.

These are my illustrations inside my friends Selina and Dan's fanzine Chien Schuanz.
Heres Selinas website
The first zine is animal themed. The pink zine is all about sex- my illustration is on the right hand side. And the yellow is "I love Bournemouth" themed, which I used drawings I made for my final project of buildings in the Bournemouth area.

Some photos of my final book- taking a line for a walk

These photos show part of the making process towards the final book I made for FMP. I experimented with the layout on the first black and white book and then with pastel colour paper with the second. I actually loved making this book- its definetely something I want to do more of.

2009-04-01T13:04:00.001+01:00

Feels like proper Spring today- Luvly. Got a new love for mechanical pencils and renewed my love for Nick Drake. Wish I could figure out how to post links to download songs on here but everyone should listen to 'Way To Blue- An Introduction to Nick Drake'.

Psychogeography

2009-03-26T11:36:00.000Z

This is one of my first finished pieces for my project. I want to make a big linear collage by hand or on Photoshop to represent a small random wander. Hope I can manage it- so little time left!

2009-03-25T21:04:00.000Z

I also pretend I can dj with my friend Bex. We sometimes hold a night at Sixty Million Postcards in Bournemouth called Battenburg. This was a quick poster I made for a night organised by Mr Tosh Ohta where we djed with another lady dj duo the Plastic Hearts. The note above was handed to us by a Matthew Baskott Esquire.
