Skeleton spirit


There's nothing like drawing skeletons when you should be doing real work. 

Ive got Prague plans on my mind. Bone churches and cemeteries, it's gonna be such a goth holiday.
My brother is visiting for a few weeks from Australia today and I've just found out a friend is coming back in a few months from travels.
I'm excited for all these things and not very good at being patient!

mini rant

Really want to get back in the screen printing rooms!
Ive got so many plans/ideas for prints.

Every week that I plan to go in after work, I'm always too busy.
I love having work to do and I should've expected this, going up to full time.. but still.. gah!
Screenprinting room, I shall be with you next week!

A Library of Owls

Here's one idea for the library conference group logo, made up in colour.
I changed the chosen design slightly (ha! 'slightly')
I drew it out with the owl spying through the book like in the original design, but then you couldn't really tell it was an owl...
So I'll make up the original chosen design in colour as well.

and here's a real owl, just cause
:)

Jackalope party

My designs had to have some tweaking to make them more letterpress friendly.
So here they are!
I actually like the first one more like this, but the other one I really preferred in black..
The black areas would have become too muddy in a letterpress print.




This would actually be really fun as colouring in paper for kids!

Here's the original pencil sketch

Im also back to a strict money budget due to poverty.
Its doesn't help I've just spent a small fortune at the supermarket.
My plan is to spend nothing until Friday, when I'm going for a meal with all the lovely library folk.

Letterpress Jackalopes

I was recently asked by Art Directors Global if I wanted to contribute an illustration to be made into a letterpress print for an expo in New York.
Of course I said yes and ended up making 2 designs..
My jackalope illustration got so much love last time, I was really glad of an excuse to make it again.



There's going to be live hand-cranked letterpress prints being made during the exhibition, sounds awesome.
Wish I could attend.


I thought, as its a design to be printed it would be cool if the illustration could be repeated.
