Series 1

 

Bums and Boobs series 1.

SORRY!

It is about time I apologised for my lack of posting/lack of interest in anything I am in fact doing. But just lately, I have had that much on my plate in regards to my personal life, that my creative side has had to take a back seat. But finally, after weeks of emergency visits to vets and other places, glorious sunshine, and serious conversation, I am back in front of a computer, and hopefully getting back on track! 

 

Over the next few days, I will have hopefully finished the bums and boobs postcards I promised to people many, many weeks ago. (My sincerest apologies to you guys!) I will have hopefully emailed a tutor, declaring how lost I am with my dissertation, AND hopefully finished off my CV to send out for a potential placement year!

 

I will have also posted up something a little bit more exciting in regards to my work, and what I'm taking a little bit of a look into.

 

So again, sorry and thank you. Han XO

Apology post to follow!

These images are definitely the stuff that my current dreams are made of. My mind is currently working over time to take in all the ideas shooting around my head. I think I'm in love.

PS

Postcards are very almost nearly complete, Ive been spending my spare time, buying cars and helping with primary school art shenanigans! 

Finally!

 

I've been saying for weeks and weeks now, that I was going to paint up some Bums and Boobs postcards, and I have finally been able to find some times to paint one up, and see how they would look. I'm pretty happy with the spacing and alignment, and I'm also happy to see that they can be adapted from the small morpholo tiles!

 

If anyone is interest in a postcard, feel free to let me know, and Ill send a couple out to you, most probably free of charge!

 

Will try my hardest to get some of the other designs up tonight, but for now I have two very needy dogs waiting to be walked!

Work Space Inspiration

Trying to continue being creative over the summer, whilst I'm away from uni, isn't going too well considering all I do is swoon over work spaces and desks, counting down the days until my grandpas home so we can make me a new desk!

Tonnes of inspiration!

Neil Gaiman 2012 Commencement Speech "Make Good Art"  

 

A humbling, heart warming, hilarious and highly inspiring talk from Neil Gaiman, to the University of the arts graduating class of 2012 Philadelphia.

 

If this video isn't one that makes you want to do something that you love, and feel like you CAN do something that you love, then I fear youre a lost cause. Right now, I appreciate this video GREATLY, and I feel anyone else who watches it, shall too.

Rungs in a Ladder: Jacob Bannon of Converge

 

As it is becoming clear, I spend the majority of my time, procrastinating and watching videos of creatives, that really humble me and make me realise not all artists are arseholes.

 

Here, Jacob Bannon, is a fine example of this. Here is a  mini-documentary, created by production team McFarland and Pecci, that is well worth a watch, whether you're a fan his musical work and artistic work, or not.

 

 So as I was recommended this to watch, I recommend you watch it too.  

 

 

 

 

Bad photos of boobs and bums pt. 2

The progress photos of some of the original paintings that I created for the 'Morpholo Tile' brief set by uni. I went into this brief thinking it was going to be an easy and enjoyable brief, but after many attempts of trying to fit in my original drawings (as seen below) I slowly wanted to pull my hair out!

 

After finally getting into the swing of things, I began to truly enjoy the brief, and can say I am MORE than happy with some of the outcomes!

 

Theres also a consideration of painting a few of these up for postcards, as a few friends have asked. So please don't be afraid to ask for a postcard of my 'bum and boobs'!
