Robins.










Playing about with my paints over last weekend, as I couldn't leave the house due to the snow.
Quite enjoyed painting these little fella's though.

Horticulture




I was asked by the lovely Sophie Charara to do a piece of work for an exhibition that she was organising to showcase new and emerging talent. The theme was 'Common People' and I (very loosely!) based my work on different perceptions of culture in and around the London Underground. This meant a lot of researching of many different 'common climbing plants', in which I am definitely NOT an expert! I now know what nasturtiums look like, and quite a lot about various climbing weeds.


Big big thank you to Sophie and also gorgeous Sophie Caldecott - both write for Style and Then Some, definitely worth a gander!

Thanks to Bonnie Moriarty and Sophie Powell for being my support/drinking pals for the night xx

Kino Feuer




I received a package in the post last week from the lovely Jon Mills of Kino Feuer. I'd done a few drawings for him for merchandise, and he sent me some samples - so good to see my work as a product instead of just on the screen! Very happy with the outcome too, looking forward to working with him some more, really enjoyed doing this little job!




The bear tote bag - my critters are all available to buy.

Brid.

A quick drawing from location in Bridlington. I wanted to escape Lincolnshire so travelled to Yorkshire on search of something a bit different...the Sea! But it was too cold on the beach and the tide was in (well planned, not thinking it was October...) So ended up sat in a very nice ice cream parlour and coffee house. It looks very unfinished but I'm sort of glad I was kicked out at 4.30pm, otherwise I would probably have done too much as usual!

Critters


A commission I've been working on for a while now for an up and coming (and very talented) musician, and really enjoying doing! Loving slopping ink about again, it makes a lovely change to sitting on a production line. I'm currently living at home again so I can save some money in order to move back to London in the new year... 
Finished items should be up soooon!

Moley

As I haven't posted anything on here in a while... a little drawing I did before the summer, and I only just found him again.
I am working on a commission for a lovely soon-to-be-famous musician at the moment, which I hope to post on here very soon!

Foxy

Some quick drawings for a children's book that I started in my second year...time to revisit it and face my demons. Really enjoying it so far though, but maybe that's because I've not reached the hard bit?

Re-think.


I am in the process of reworking all of my projects from the whole of my third year at Kingston, which involves lots of trying out. Better things to come. Hope.

Brill Competition




These are just a few drawings from my entry to the Brill competition, an internally lead competition for reportage, which I was lucky enough to win alongside Nina Cosford. We both gained a commission from this, so I will hopefully post the actual work up here in the next few weeks! I might even start blogging regularly...
