experimental typefaces using paintbrushes

my attempt at a cheesy valentines day card (boyfriend loves that kind of thing)

some pictures of work I did at a workshop hosted by Emily Notman

Mad-busy January simultaneously studying for and NVQ2 in business and administration (excitement, I know) doing work experience at the New Vic Theatre, job-shopping and looking for a flat in Wolverhampton at the same time. I managed to carve out some time this weekend in between packing (moving next weekend yo) to attend a textiles workshop with Emily Notman which was the highlight of my month. Oh my days! It was awesome! I've missed being in a workshop so much! At the same time I was totally out of my artistic comfort zone playing around with fabric, sewing machines and wotnot, which is always great.

Unfortunately most of my photographs look like gobshite on toast so I guess you'll have to watch this space until I can take less crappy ones. Wouldn't hold your breath.

Best graffiti I've seen in stoke for ages

Best thing about being back at my parent's place for Christmas is finding random old stuff like this. I must have been about 14 when I drew this comic. It was meant to be about two kids who live in an underground civilisation of inter-connected tunnels and fight with shovels against vicious tunnel bears that eat people. Because that was the sort of thing I thought about during French class for some reason. I was totally normal like that. Done with fineliner and touched up with MSpaint (we had no photoshop in the dark ages).
