Feather and Faun

2011-03-23T11:41:00.001-07:00

Just a few pieces i haven't shared with you yet.

Up in the Woods

2011-03-23T11:41:00.000-07:00

A quick zine i made last year. It included my photographs copied onto acetate, geometric paper, stitching and words from the Bon Iver song 'Up in the Woods'.

No monsters under my bed..

2011-03-23T11:21:00.000-07:00

Looking for inspiration I found some old college and uni work under my bed and wanted to share some of my faves with you...

These are character designs and collages from 1st year of uni.

These images are from a sketch book i made out of a Zara catalogue. I really loved this project and i guess you could say alot of the images are fashion illustrations, which is definitely something i want to start doing again.

Apologies

2011-03-23T10:55:00.000-07:00

No posts for 5 whole months...how bad am i?? VERY bad indeed.

Here is a lovely summery picture of some flowers at my window sill as an apology.

2010-10-12T16:16:00.000-07:00

I finally got round to taking these last degree show images out of their frames so i could get some proper scans of them. These will go up for sale soon, so keep a look out for that!!

Illustration Rally

2010-10-04T10:00:00.000-07:00

This is my piece for Illustration Rally's European Countries, my country was Greece. I was really stuck on what to do at first because apart from plate smashing i didnt really know alot about the modern Greece, so i concentrated on Ancient Greece and Aristotle the philosopher. I incorporated one of his famous quotes "The soul never thinks without a picture" and the word Greece in ancient greek (i hope).
