Website and Etsy

Oh look, it's my friend Rachael debuting her modelling skills! 

Anyway, after many, many, hours of frustration and constant emails to the web hosting support man, I've finally finished my website! I've also linked to my Etsy shop on there, I've put the tote bags and badges that I made up for sale on there if you fancy taking a look:

Competitions and Brain Overload

This is my entry for the Mambo Surf De Luxe new artist search. I'd like to think that any surfer's diet comprises mainly of Fabs and cider lollies.

This is my entry for our degree show poster competition. The degree show covers a variety of different arts subjects and decided to try to capture the processes and amount of effort that will have gone into it. 

And this was me just getting bored and wanting to draw a picture of a brain. After I drew it, I got a massive headache from all the patterns and even now my eyes hurt. Oh the irony!

Album Cover

Here's the outcome of my first mini-project. I decided to do an album cover for a fictional band. I even did terrible sketches of what I thought the band would look like, which I will not be posting on here. One of the band members resembled a fat Tinie Tempah, and all the others just looked like the culmination of everything hipster, all empty framed glasses, plaid and an overwhelming sense of superiority. Sheesh.

Screenprinting and Studio

Thought I'd take some pictures of my studio workspace as I enjoy being nosy at other people's studios. Recently I've been trying to work on a series of small projects that will hopefully make up my final major project, all the while getting distracted by wanting to do other stuff such as printing tote bags. Anyway, here are a few photographs of what I have been doing!

I totally screwed up the orange bag, you can't really see it here though. I'm going to sell these tote bags really soon on Etsy (they are currently drying in the print room) along with some badges, prints and bits and pieces.

In other news, I've been doing a couple of posters recently. This one above was for the Peninsula Arts Dominion festival, which is linked my to uni. 

This poster was for our Illustration French Party. Unfortunately I didn't go to it because I got mugged (I'm fine now though!). I hear everyone had a great time though!
