Helllooooooo there everybody!
Once again I have ignored my blog for much longer than intended...my absence however was due to the plotting and scheming for the upcoming Headingley Arts Trail in Leeds, which I have new and shiny work for! I have some new artist prints (such as the one above), and a teeny range of screen printed cards. The trail itself is located in houses around Headingley, starting at the Bowery, which incidentally, is where my work will be presented. Its on the 12th-13th November, if you like looking at or buying things arty, this is the place to be!
I am so pleased to have had the opportunity of doing a whole new project; so nice to start something new! Anyway, I have completed a range of children's home ware designs for Swatch loft, and I have my fingers, toes and everything else crossed that they will go down well and sell! The designs are printed onto silk cotton...here's a little lookey!
I have been working hard in the organized mess I call a 'studio' to create some new drawings to add to my portfolio. These little fellas will turn into designs soon so watch this space!
Came across this picture and could not resist it....how amazingly cute/ beautiful is this photo?

After being an admirer for a long time, I have finally set up my own Society 6 account. This means you can buy my work and have it on an iphone case! yeah! That and a small variety of other things. The pics you see here are available to buy now, hurrah! Visit the website here:

My lovely friend ellie found this amazing company's website - Tugboat Printshop - printmakers who hand carve their prints from wood. I love it! I think the wooden blocks are just as nice as the actual prints, and I would purchase all of them providing I wasn't poor. Go on their website and have a gander...now!

hello again. Been a while since my last post, and have since moved house, finished uni with a 2.1 (yey!) and generally been a busy bee. I've just been reminiscing by looking at some of my previous uni projects and found these card designs we did for a brief with Tigerprint. I do like them, especially the cake related ones. why does cake come into every aspect of my life?!
So here are some pictures from my final major project that are to show the design context of my work. My idea was to produce a range of work that could be applied to a variety of products. Using the magic of Photoshop, I have draped my designs onto suitable products for my designs....I think the bear tee-shirts are my favourite.
Well I do apologise once more for my lack of posting! But hurrah I have finished university which means two things: a) I am now supposed to call myself an adult, and b) our end of year exhibition is about to start! I am much more excited about the latter, and here are some pictures of the pre exhibition set up, and a snippet of one of my wallpapers.
The show is on from the 18th-23rd of June - I strongly suggest you get your derriers to Leeds college of Art!
