The Great British Card Company

So tomorrow I am off to Gloucester to do a 4 day placement with Paperhouse at The Great British Card Company. I had been putting off doing the prep work because I couldn't choose a theme for my cards, I settled on birds but still found it hard to start. I think because I am quite worried about what they want from me... it is a little strange going in with such an open brief and for once I was really nervous about my ideas...


Here is part of one of the visuals I made-bit different to anything I have done before and it isn't quite finished but I hope to get some feedback tomorrow!

24 Hour Comic (oops)

So I posted about the 24 hour comic I did in my other blog by accident... oops... not sure how to change it over so please check it out here!

Heres a couple of the edited pages which I have been Photoshop-ing today:





If anyone knows a good place for printing black and white comics cheaply let me know! Hoping to sort out getting them done for Bristol Artists Book Event

London Drawings

I went on a research trip to London with my friend Jess a couple of weeks ago, we did a lot of drawings in the V&A and Tate modern, was really nice to chill and do fun drawing for a change :)

We are planning on making some kind of book/zine with the sketches we like to sell at Bristol Artists Book Event in April so I have been playing around with sets of images, heres a little preview, let me know what you think, am wondering if some of them might work as t-shirt designs!




You can see some of Jess's lovely drawings over here

I do love a bit of circus

I haven't put much up here in a while because I have been working for the past few weeks on a pretty big project. I have been commissioned along with two others on my course to design the walls of Plymouth Universities new optometry centre.

It is all pretty exciting and I have managed to turn it into an excuse to draw a lot of circus performers and animals wearing glasses!

Here are a couple of preview images, I don't want to give too much away until it is all finished and ready.
