Beta Design

Would be much obliged if you would rate my scarf design (highly!) on Beta. It is a fashion based project running regular competitions allowing designers to have their designs produced as silk scarfs. It is full of great work so have a look! Voting closes on Sunday.

A big thank you to Franca for her blog post about my artwork, I met Franca at the degree show where she and her husband bought a picture of mine. She has a great lifestyle blog with a lil post about my work and their new pic, I'm happy it has gone to a good home!

Two weeks left!

Just a couple of weeks left of my exhibition at Sofis, get yourself over there pronto! 

Sofi's Bar Exhibition!

Very excited to be displaying my work in the lovely Sofi's Bar for the next couple of months, they are even providing some bottles of bubbly for the opening this Saturday. The more the merrier so if your able, come on down and have a look!

The machines will take over!

Had to share my excitement over my first use of a laser cutter. From a lino cut fish to a plywood fish in next to no time. Laser cutting is blowing my mind.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-check it out

Degree show has arrived!

Finally the degree show is here, come have a look! I am with MFA illustration on the forth floor in evolution house. It is open 10am to 5pm with late opening Wednesday and Thurs till 8. NO excuses!

The fallow deer at the lonely house

I have been experimenting with monotype recently, here is my take on the Thomas Hardy poem.

The Fallow Deer at the Lonely House

One without looks in tonight

Through the curtain-chink

From the sheet of glistening white;

One without looks in tonight

As we sit and think

By the fender-brink.

We do not discern those eyes

Watching in the snow;

Lit by lamps of rosy dyes

We do not discern those eyes

Wondering, aglow,

Four-footed, tiptoe.
