Sketching

a new personal project: natural beauty. a comment on the concept of "natural beauty" being something you have to strive to achieve, rather than simply embracing what you've got. also an opportunity to use illustration as a means of saying something, which i don't do often enough (this is something that's been on my mind a lot lately). you can see the rest of the series & read more about it on my website.

pretty happy to be back doing ceramics again. i finally picked up some of the things i made at the start of the year, & found out that i accidentally made some stacking pots.

a postcard that i sent off to urban graphic last week for their big draw charity postcard auction. as you can see, i played it safe with the topic (a girl! with a plant! woah!) but got out some colouring pencils that i've not used for years, & scribbled with abandon before inking with a brush on top. i also added a little gold to the plant pot, because i just want to add gold to everything lately. gold gold gold. so there's you have it. she ain't nothin' fancy, but i like her. ps. couple more days left of my sale! 15% off until sat 1 june.

magazines

sharing a couple of recent pieces of editorial work i've done. i picked up a copy of bust whilst i was in toronto so i could see my illustration - for an article about building your own sound-system - in print. it was nice to be asked to do another image for them. the second image is a larger illo for time out chicago, which was a lot of fun to work on. this one originally had a deadline that was a week away, but as i was going to be heading off on holiday three days later i told them i could turn it in in a couple of evenings (after commuting to-&-from & being at my day-job). a little bit of pressure is fun! this was the end result, & i was kindly sent a couple of copies of the magazine too.

much thanks to lan truong & ian dingman for having me.

sleeping pattern

remember that lil project i mentioned? well, here it is;, a project in which i illustrate my instagram feed, then post the drawings on instagram.

in wild waters

my boyfriend recently opened an online shop to sell his prints. all bias aside, i recommend you take a look at his work (including the above print, in wild waters). he's had a few sales already, but he's still offering a free mini-print with the next seven orders. go!

hey, i made you a poster.
