New 'folio page to co-incide with the bird canvas I did (on the right). Once again, woeful photo-taking efforts from my webcam but I'm quite chuffed with the layout so far.

Brenda Oelbaum

I was having a cheeky gander at The Adipositivity Project website which I love and I saw these awesome trousers by Brenda Oelbaum which are really cool and have all different derogatory words for fatness beautifully reclaimed and stitched onto them (typography, fashion and self-acceptance all combined in one glorious pair of trousers? I am too excited for words)

Aside from trawling through google images or hoping to catch a glimpse of her work in her blog is there anywhere I can just look at all of the awesome work she does? Why have I not heard of this lady before now???

Old-ass sketch I found of a shell I did in 2007 with indian ink and a stick in one of my first art classes at college.

Eleanor Glover

Found an old exhibition catalogue from an exhibition called 'Smile' at the Ruthin Craft Centre in Wales in 2010, appologies again for rubbish picture-taking. Kinda hit me today that that exhibition had a pretty big influence on the style of work I've been producing lately, espcially the lettering by Eleanor Glover because I've always had this nagging feeling in the past couple of years that applied arts and typography should be combined and the results would be glorious, and this little catalogue was just sitting dolefully on my bookshelves waiting for me to spot the connection the entire time.

This is some of the glass I mentioned earlier that I did on a Saturday crafternoon with The Cultural Sisters before it was fired. I haven't actually seen the finished glass, but I've received an email that says "it has all turned out lovely!" so I'm looking forward to getting my grubby paws on it. Am thinking about incorporating it into the comic project I've been slowly working on.

My Phone also got stolen by some old dude at a library but I've managed to rescue a couple of photos I had from failbook, yay!

This is some graffiti I spotted and thought was rather charming on my walk into town
