So, over the last few weeks I’ve bought quite a few things online. Mostly due to having money in my PayPal account (yay freelance illustrating!) and having to buy general wedding pretties. I want to show you the lovely things I’ve purchased! I posted about Delia’s inspirational jewellery last month, and this month I decided…
Take a peek at my Mum’s card collection!
I am really super duper stupid busy right now with freelance, commissions, wedding planning etc. I thought I’d be nice and post some vintage ephemera for you all to enjoy! My mum has an awesome collection of all the cards she has ever been given. From her birth til now – including her 21st birthday…
Things you should say every day
I am drawing so much I think I’m going to wear my arms out. I’m a bit chuffed because “Things you should never say #1” was picked to go on the feature page on Red Bubble. I swear that little community is inflating my ego. Apparently some people are having trouble commenting. I’m so sorry!!…
Another print on demand site – Red Bubble
So, I’ve joined another print on demand site called redbubble.com. After joining imagekind the other week, I’ve been sniffing around other services to see if I can go one better…. and I have!! Red Bubble is an amazing community of artists, writers and photographers and offers t-shirts, laminated prints, cards, posters, mounted prints, canvas prints…
A new calligraphic hero!
Bernard Maisner‘s calligraphy is beautiful and sumptuous, I think this style of hand lettering is the direction I’m going to take our wedding stationery in, however, I’m going to give it my own twist. Thanks, Lost at E Minor, for exposing me to Maisner’s work!
I have a scanner at last!
Well, I’ve had it for a few months but it was missing a power cable and USB cord. I’ve felt a little lost without a scanner, and now I can scan in my doodles and colour them. As if I don’t have enough arty/ crafty endeavours already! I’ve also put some of my illustrations up…
Today’s found images
If I can’t have a ffffound account, well I’m just going to dump images I like here! Hope you enjoy as much as I did – I think I’m a freak, I totally pour over images I find! This is one of the posters that LA Pop Art create – they’ve used the first four…
Please sir, I’d like a ffffound invite
A Humument by Tom Phillips. I’ve been wanting a ffffound.com invite for the longest time, so I thought I’d put it out there on my blog :P The past week has flown by in a daze of international rock stars, shopping, my birthday and alcohol, plenty o’ it. I helped Kate O’Brien (our wedding photographer)…
Another Naked & Angry Submission
I created the above pattern for the illustration in the entry below and thought I should submit it to Naked & Angry because I wasn’t really happy with my first submissions. I’m at least happy with the balance in this pattern, as well as the colour scheme. If you like it, please vote for it…
What gets you through the day?
I asked my friends a few questions and let their answers guide me. This is just an exercise in illustration I guess. I’ve been pretty busy (thanks silly season) but I wanted to make a few designs that incorporated copy. I’m going to keep adding to this set on flickr. Check back regularly! In other…
