Brixton Village Veg

Auction

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

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.

cant stop drawing villages

Wanting to get out of the city and go on a drawing trip...

Homage to my favourite literary ladies

New prints

I am in love with this book I found in a Godalming charity shop. Such good illustrations.

wedding

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?

more travels

FYI- The Moon is a lovely bar/restaurant in Perth, if you ever find yourself in West Oz, definitely check it out.

Travelling sketches

Experiments in screen print

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.
