Soon

perpetual bicycle

my best friend asked if i'd create a cycling certificate for her. i came up with this perpetual bike design, which i then made it into a tiled pattern. you can use it, if you'd like. (for personal use only, please. remember to download rather than hotlink.)

• for 1,000 shop sales • for your patience with how long it takes to restock my ceramics shop • for checking out my new little project (maybe)

brand new

fresh start! hello, it seems you've found your way over to my new blog. along with a new website layout, i thought i'd try another platform for outpourings. if you wouldn't mind updating your google reader & feeds, that'd be much appreciated.

for any nostalgia trips (just me?), you can see all posts from 2007 to 2011 here.

meanwhile

bit of silence here as i work on some images for other people. currently in the midst of getting some new prints done, which is taking a little time as i try to fine-tune the final outcome in terms of colour & size. slowly getting there. will also be bringing back an oft-requested image that i sold out of some time ago, once it looks right in digitally-printed format.

in other news, i'm up to day eighty over on girl faces. you can read a nice little post on the project over on the fox is black.

I reopened my ceramics shop yesterday - my first update of the year & of the work I've been making since moving to Canada. There are some new things alongside old favourites - go take a look: boldenceramics.com.

spring clean

things that april has taught me so far:

clutter is detrimental to your bank balance

clothes moths are rude & do not wait for an invite into your home

my mother was right all along; hoovering is important

earthly delights

if you're anywhere near minneapolis then you should probably do yourself a favour & visit light grey art lab; as well as it sounding like a pretty great place, they've got an exhibition on at the moment featuring a ridiculously good selection of artists & illustrators, including some of my favourites (somehow i snuck in there).

the garden of earthly delights is curated by ms tuesday bassen & mr pete gamlen. it just opened on friday & runs until 13 july. as someone who currently spends twelve hours a week commuting through the scottish countryside on a train, my piece (above) is inspired by about how much i'd prefer to be out in the forests and fields rather that headed towards an office at 70 miles per hour.

twenty-six

as of yesterday. if this one's as good as previous ages then i'm one lucky lady.

on a side note, this image served as a reminder that i am not ambidextrous. if i ever lose my right hand, i am screwed.

perpetual bicycle

new in the shop: perpetual bicycle notebooks, screen-printed & bound by yours truly. i like them so much i'm even keeping one for myself.

a little something i put together for the nice folks over at creative dundee for their next pecha kucha night. i'd been wanting to try something like this visually for a little while, & overlapping plants with pencils growing from the ground ended up being the perfect chance to experiment. after working on a giant mural for the couple of days prior to making this, it was super nice to sit down at my desk, draw tiny plants & take advantage of the "undo" button in photoshop whenever anything didn't quite work out.
