Nothing succeeds like excess

I re-made my Oscar Wilde quote picture because I'd lost the original and it needs to be printed large. 
It took way longer than it should've because my scanner is rubbish

It felt like I knew you

I really liked this idea and series of photographs.

When ever I use the tube in London, it always amuses me that everyone is in such close proximity to each other but so focused on not even making eye contact.

Fisher House print fair


I'm very excited to announce that I'll be contributing to this Christmas fair on December 14th in Cambridge!

There will be a huge range of arty prints available - original prints, giclee, photography etc 
I'm also making a new screen print especially for the occasion.

I really hope you can pop along and have a browse

 
Say no to boring Christmas presents this year!

Social media-ing overload

A few updates
I've opened up a shop to sell some of my work HERE
and also an etsy for small bits HERE

Ive also started a facebook page for my Illustration work. 
(Something I'd originally decided against)

I didn't want to spam my facebook with work, 
but it also means a lot to me and I still wanted to share it.
So dilemma solved

Please like if you like

Paperdermy

JAY



BLACKBIRD




I trained for awhile with a taxidermist in Hertfordshire.
It was an amazing time, but in the end I choose to follow illustration. 
I couldn't quite let it go, so these are my paperdermy birds

They are made from NineteenSeventryThree's lovely paper

Limited edition tshirt

Horray! 
My tshirt is officially ready for sale
buy it HERE and make me incredibly happy

:)


Paperdermy


Finally had some spare time to finish my paperdermy birds!
I'll take a proper photo of them tomorrow, when it's not 1 o'clock in the morning.

(p.s I'm watching Naked Gun.. )

New stuff

I'm completely in love with my new camera
and I found a lovely 70s camera strap
*swoon*

I fear I've gone mad

I'm still twiddling my thumbs about this silly design
I can't even think straight right now though due to a massive hangover courtesy of my pastafarian brother, Taylor.
Last night was cider + pasta + lots of wine and I can't handle mornings like I used to

Ouroboros

So I was recently asked by a company called Mister Dress Up to design a tshirt for their collection
I played it cool and answered DEFINITELY straight away.

So here's one design
(apologies it's another snake. I just can't stop drawing them!)


I think it still needs some changes though.. I preferred the earlier sketch a lot more, 
but I have to consider that it needs to be printed onto fabric..

Nostalgia

I found some polaroids from my first couple of months in Cambridge



In other news, my hair looks like twigs after it's chop
and I'm very sad
(See sad face below)


Drunk Cat's Sloe Gin

Made from Shrewsbury sloe berries
:)
Sadly the gin isn't going to be ready for another few months yet

Two Turtle Doves

This is my design for my Christmas cards this year
I didn't want them to be too cliche chocolate boxy
2 Turtle Doves
(Bird lovers - I'm claiming artistic license for these two doves)

May print a second colour properly underneath..


Now I'm off to Mad Dog's 'Dangerous Fireworks party' 
..in stormy weather conditions
haha
