Animals That I Did Not Meet #3

zine #2

after an unexpected & wholly unappreciated hiatus, part two of sleeping on the sleeper is finished! now i just need to complete part three, send to print & bind bind bind. above is the tiniest of snippets from zine #2.

okay, so if you're outside of scotland you actually might have some sunshine today, but after a weekend of glorious weather we're back to rain clouds. that doesn't mean a sweet little discount ain't welcome though, right? in a bid to clear out of a few older items plus raise funds for some new things i'm making, i'm offering 15% off everything in my shop until 1 june with code HELLOSUMMER (enter at checkout). aaaand i'm also going to throw in some freebies to all orders over £13/$20. it's always summer in our hearts u guys. have at it.

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.

hands up if you like free stuff! it's been three whole years since i've had a giveaway, so i thought i'd have a shot at doing one on this here blog. to be in with a chance of winning the little package of goods above (a giclée print, lino print & badge), just leave a comment on this post saying hello plus a way for me to get in touch (twitter/email etc) if you win. i know tumblr as a rule is pretty into its re-blogging & likes, but i miss the good ol' days when blogs were for commenting on (y'know, like in 2010) . i'll pick a winner at random on sun 6 october. good luck! EDIT: giveaway closed! thanks for all the entries. will be in touch with the winner soon.

talkin' dirty

getting a job for a magazine is generally a good thing, but it's even better when it's one you actually subscribe to. a little while back i was asked by bust to illustrate a piece on female-hosted sex-positive readings & today i got the issue through my letterbox. haven't had time to read through yet, but am happy to share space with tuesday bassen & yelena bryksenkova, two super excellent illustrator ladies.

welcome

this drawing is three years old but the sentiment rings true once a year. oldie/goodie.

pros & cons

some food for thought. i need to adopt this as my new mantra.

i've barely seen my favourite person over the last week or so & i miss him, so i guess i'll just look at this mediocre portrait of him instead.
