The Girl in the Moon

Open publication - Free publishing - More book

Oh my, completely forgot to post this!

This is the result of my last uni project in which I had to illustrate and make a book.

I chose to make a children's book.

I called it The Girl in the Moon.

I wrote, illustrated and made the entire thing. Here it Is in digital form for you all to see!

Shore leave

This is a scan of my great great Grand dad's shore leave pass!

Which my nana has only just shown me.

His name was John W. Brisland and was a pump boy on the S.S.Empire Cobbett.

He was 57 at the time of this picture.

I absolutely love the look of this document and hope to somehow use it in an illustration!

I simply remember my favourite things...

After getting a new digital camera the other day

I was prompted to show off some of my christmas presents to everyone!

Firstly I got an 80's romper! perfect for wearing for bed or as a beach cover up I think.

I also got an awesome bag, (I think I let out a little whimper when I opened it) from my sister.

It is hand tooled vintage leather,has a saddle and stirrups! I call it my 'saddlebag'.

I've attached my coyote's tail to it.

Not pictured is a beautiful vintage fox tail which is huge and is currently attached to my most large of bags.

Under that is some Jewellery; an antique polo broach, a gold triangle necklace (from etsy),

and I also got a double fingered ring which says love!

Finally is my Mr Pink Diana Flash camera. I also got a black holga which is great for easily slipping into your bag.

Expect to see some of my lomography (probably poor at first) up here soon!

My Birthday weekend

So Last sunday it was my birthday! Hurray!

And even though the snow attempted to ruin everything

I had a brilliant time!

I went to Manchester on the saturday (where there was no snow, thank god)

with my bf, we went to see Ratatat at the Deaf institute which, might i add,

has the most spectacular collection of wallpaper. The "good Dolly, bad Dolly"

which featured in the ladies toilets was my favourite!

AND there was a giant glitter ball above the dance floor.

As far as presents are concerned I trawled the vintage shops of Manchester and ended up with a

beautiful mink fur trapper hat courtesy of my bf (sorry if you don't like fur, but it's vintage so i'm cool with it).

Also I got a gorgeously illustrated book called " Fifi Lapin- Style secrets of a furry fashionista"

and an amazing aron jumper with leather studded shoulder pads!

It shall surely keep me warm in this cold weather!

New header!

Well, I had decided to do a new header for the old blogski

I had this drawing just lying about doing not

much at all, so I decided to use it.

I was inspired again by the new Wildfox

shoot and also horror movie posters.

It's My favourite header that I've done so far

(There have been a few)

despite it being a way for me not to do any uni work.

Also, I not long ago completed a few illustrations

for Who's Jack magazine.

It's an illustrated fashion shoot which will be in the

December issue which should be out soon.

It will be available in Urban Outfitters

and many many vintage shops around London.

You can also check it out via the online version of the mag!

Let them eat cake!

I have been inspired by the new Wildfox collection

It is beautiful! Check it out here!

Paper shop collaboration!

Aaah man, should have had this up ages ago!

But here we are...

...this is the result of a wednesday afternoon painting

with my awesome uni chums.

and I think the results are rather brilliant!

We have: Tom, with Panda Funk Team

Bex, brings us Crown Heart Star

Michael, Real Bad Things

and little old me with Paper Doll!

Surrender Your Soul

"Surrender Your Soul"

Is the second in the series of my

halloween inspired illustrations!

This time she's a zombie!

And what a zombie!

Eyes down my little ones

and beware of the night crawlers!

Let your Ghost Run free

"Let your Ghost Run Free"

Is my halloween inspired illustration!

It started out with a simple pencil sketch,

then I added colour and texture vis photoshop.

Muchos layers!

Classic quotes form classic friends

Classic quotes form classic friends

And todays "classic quote" comes from Mr Jefferson

who came out with this little beaut the other day

whilst we were taking a merry stroll.

I think the sense of irony plays well with the illustration here. :p
