if at first you don't succeed, carve another stamp.
a week off of sorts. we're journeying to the end of a peninsula on the very west coast tomorrow, to celebrate my favourite person's birthday with campfires, marshmallows, walks & trees. as much as i like normality, i'm excited to get away from it for a bit.
i'm pretty pleased to now have this print in my shop. i created this image last autumn (the message "hang out with some plants" can be found on the prints that will be given out by the project) for advice to sink in slowly, & i've been planning to create a poster of it as a way of offering a piece of larger art for a small cost ever since. finally, it's on sale, costing £5/$7.50. if you've been looking to fill up some space on your walls with a lady wandering through some plants, then today's your lucky day.
take a peek at my new website layout, freshly uploaded to the internet last night. a better balance of text & images, & approximately a thousand times easier to update. everybody wins!
speaking of website updates, my lovely boyfriend added lots of new work to his. go visit!
i was pretty happy to find an email in my inbox last week from marceline of asking for trouble, querying whether i'd like to produce an artist's bookmark for her new zine distro, pushpin zines. of course, i said yes. above you can see some detail from my image, a girl engrossed in nick hornby's high fidelity whilst curled up in a cosy reading nook. you can get one of the bookmarks from pushpin for £1 or free when you spend £6 or over on zines.
time for a new year sale! this year, alongside 15% percent off your order (just enter code "HELLO2013" when you checkout) i've also sprinkled a few extra discounts around the shop. so if there's something you've had your eye on for a while, now's the time to snap it up - sale ends mon 7 january. GO!
added a couple of lino-prints to my shop today. both have hand-applied gold details, because gold.
sometimes i think about how bodies want to be sweaty & smelly & hairy & oily, & about how some of our daily routines try to achieve the opposite.
