Bit of a pain, but it needs to be done, currently trying to blitz through my webdesign project before thursdays hand in! And of top of that cleaning up my current website, going to use my blog a lot more to archive old work : )

“The joys of eating lunch alone.” It is a little bit strange being in a new uni when I’m actually a student. Feels a little bit like I’m cheating on UCA. I’ll have to buy it flowers from a petrol station on my way home, whilst I use the service station toilets to wash the Falmouth smell off me. She’ll never know..

HAND IN. Drank my coffee, skipped breakfast and handing in my work for professional practice. Hopefully it’ll go quite well, I went for a heavily designed based piece this time so fingers crossed there’s room for an indesign obsession in illustration ; D

Also looking forward to Adventures in Comics which is coming soon!

#MULLITOVER (little bit late)
Recently I was lucky enough to have my work selected by Collate Presents to appear in their wonderful Mull it Over exhibition. The idea of the exhibition was the ideas, sketches and potentially unseen work that artists produce. Personally I fell in love with this concept, under the desk in my studio is a cardboard box of illustrations which I can’t bear to throw out, but have no use either. They’re a collection of drafts, sketches and flights of fancy that never get used, so I had a rummage through and posted some prints off. Aside from a small falling out with royal mail *cough-damaged one of my pieces-cough* the work mostly made it to Artist Residence.
After two hours trek on the train I made it to the private view, where unfortunately I didn’t have a lot of time their before I had to get my train back but it was well worth the journey. The gallery was literally PACKED, there were actually people spilling out of the door, it was fantastic. Being used to art galleries where the work is appreciated in silence, or hushed whispers, this was a refreshing change. For me, it was lovely seeing everyone just walking around and having a great time and enjoying art work.
Anyway, it’s open for ONE more day, so make the effort and get down there! It’s definitely worth it.

Pots&Pans
So I recently started painting on a load of plates, bowls and what not. I think they look pretty neat, but until my camera stops rebelling, I can’t put up ANY photos so watch this space : )
