A Sneeky Peek

Here are some pages from my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project 2011. Need to do some bits and bobs to these pages, they are not finished. My theme is I'm A Scavenger! I'm focusing on what I do best...finding things old, and bringing them together.


The top image is old material that I had lying around and some really old stamps that were made here in England. The bottom image is tape from a cassette, again what I had lying around. I like keeping things...you never know when they are going to come in handy! The tape makes me feel a bit sick actually...it does crazy things with my eyes! Love it though.

Exhibition entry and some sneaky tags.

Well…I was helping out at emptyshop HQ getting messy and painting, so I decided to grab a beermat and do something for the exhibition. I also made some little tags, which I will hang on different places =]

Here is the beermat =] …

The heart in the speech bubble is my little tag for my art =] 

Both are lino prints. The beermat was then stitched all the way through…I know…I did stab myself a few times! Not bad for a nights worth of work!

Hope you like.

Fisheye in Somerset!

Well, as many people know, the other half and I packed our bags and went to Somerset armed with a Lomography Fisheye 2 and an old Smena Symbol for a week. We never stopped really and visited LOADS of amazing places. Had so much fun...here are some photo's. 

Hope you's like them.

New things...

Well I've just got back from the lovely Somerset...It's 5am (I hate my neighbours) and I am 'forced ;]' to watch EastEnders! So, I thought this was a perfect time to update, because I haven't in ages.

ANYWAY...
Here are my latest illustrations! Woop!

                                                  

...and these are my new Lomography shots. They are taken on a Smena Symbol.

Hopefully I'll have a lot more photos in the up and coming weeks when I develop them. Took a lot of film with me. Can't wait to get them sorted.

Di Meo's Ice Cream tub

 Final Di Meo's Ice cream tub design. Nom nom =]

And all that Jazz...

Poster design essay which had to incorporate the chosen design movement. Me being me, I wanted to go for something that no one else would be doing.

Rise & Shine

A close up...

Rise & Shine design. Spray paint, embroidary & acrylic (and ALOT of patience!) on recycled fabric.

Some photography

Managed to rake out some old photographs I took back in the day.

Put quite a selection on.

Yummy Ice Cream

Been quite busy, going to put some stuff on now though =]

Finished Di Meo's project at college. For anyone who doesn't know it's an Italian ice cream cafe thingy in the North-East UK ;]

I'm pretty pleased...marks back Monday.
