A point of singularity

Hand-Stitched lettering done in my own fair handwriting, it may be illegible but I'm still fond of it

This post is a liiittle bit immature but I wanted to make expletives look all pretty and painty a bit like Theo Olesen's Beautiful Swear Words (I'm super original like that). My original plan was to make a really nice love letter to the boyfriend that said how fucking beautiful he was, but instead I just painted the word Fuck all over my sketchbook and I guess these are the results:



Yes, I am fully aware that my Fs are a bit S-like :(

Work with Lorraine!



Here is a doodle I roughly copied and coloured in with acrylics from historical painter Hieronymus Bosch whose work I am much in love with these days.
It marks the start of a joint collaboration project with Lorraine Bennet, not entirely sure where that will lead us but I think we both agree on it being an awesome idea. We both wanted to do something mythical and mystical but have super different approaches so I am excited to see the way different artistic disciplines can work together and the hopefully complementary outcomes that will be our result. Currently meeting up for thursdays sketching and doodling ideas stage. Next week is going to be collages, so watch this space.
