Lots of things to say...

Third year pretty much consumes all my free time with dissertation and projects and also working in a pub on saturdays, so little time to think about this thing. First thing to mention is that I won the Don't Panic competition and the issue my design is on is currently being put together, so I assume it will be out soonish.

Old things:

This is the poster & postcards that won me joint 1st prize in the illustration catergory in Design4Science, back in June. It is currently part of the design4science exhibition which I believe is now in Manchester and will be going to Stolkholm in the new year. I haven't actually been, but plan to head up north in Dec and fit that in.

This is my illustration published in Last Hours. Apologies for bad photograph, no digital camera so had to make do with my mac cam (See last post for high res version of illustration). The zine is for sale on the website and a few outlets throughout the UK. There are lots of really nice illustrations in there, and interesting articles.

Also, these are a couple of old rough logos/ideas for the band Danse, Armada! Sadly, they are now no more, but I still quite liked these.

My most recent project I completed for uni was called 'How Swearing Works'. I was pretty pleased by my sketch book and the final outcome. I made a 'Swear Box', which included a poster with some silly statements about the nature of swearing, a little book about how swearing actually works and a stressball (made with the help of the wonderful Suzie).
Apologies for the bad photography, I had issues with the digital camera I was borrowing.

That's your lot. I really need a website, i know. Feedback always welcome.

ps- I have been asked by a friend if I would be interested in doing a 3 panel comic strip in a magazine he is currently getting funding for, so we'll see what comes of that.

New Blog

Hello, thought I would make a blog for my illustration work until I get an actual website up & running (who knows when that will be).

I'm starting my 3rd year of BA illustration in a months time so most of my time is being split between finding somewhere to live (the horror) & researching for my dissertation. I have done a couple of things recently though....



This is a flyer I knocked together last night for my boyfriend's band,Danse, Armada!, who are playing their first gig next week (come along, it's the start of something good, promise). Hopefully, when they get round to recording their EP/demo I'll have the chance to do some more work for them.

This is an illustration I've done for a punk/indie zine called Last Hours. It's an illustration for a review. I wish I'd had more time to spend on it, unfortunately house hunting is using up most of my time at the moment. It'll be out to buy on 25th September, hopefully I'll be able to contribute for them in the future too.

This is an illustration I entered for a competition for Don't Panic. Don't Panic (for those who don't know) is a pack of flyers/posters/other things they give out for free at unis/clubs/shops around the uk.
Every month there is a competition to design the pack. I got the most votes, but am yet to hear if I will be published (either the one with the most votes wins, or the top 10 designs are then judged by a pro & the best gets published). If I do, that means 80k packs with my design on, which would be excellent exposure.

Oh, I also won joint 1st place for the Design4Science illustration competition back in July, I'll post my entry when I get another spare minute.
