and acryllic, draw and printed.

customers' shoes

More drawing at work:

play

Pen and ink drawing. Illustration for Charlotte Hoare's work on Etcetera. Took me all morning to try and keep a house of cards up for long enough to draw it, ended up not even keeping it up long enough to take a photograph.

other

Is anyone out there?
Have a look back through some of my old work on Flickr and tell me what you think.
Also, anyone want to do a collaborative project?
Blogging is strange.

thought

Cover for Joshua Jones's debut poetry collection on Knives, Forks and Spoons Press. Check him out here, and on the blog we co-edit.

P.S. I am in love with Josh Jones and he is my boyfriend.

music

I'm gradually getting less scared of using the computer to edit handmade images.
Finally finished the cover artwork for King Laconic's new EP, release party in Norwich next week. Come along.

paid

Does drawing while I'm at work count as getting paid for illustration?

muertos

I designed and hand-embroidered lapels for The Proposition's Nigel Orme (aka Dad). Inspired by Mexican Day of the Dead artwork.

we do

Illustration for a poem by Nancy Devine, on etcetera.

roll up, roll up

Two part print I made for a little exhibition at The Birdcage, a couple of months ago. It's one one my favourite pubs in Norwich. Lino cut.

lazy

I really am rubbish at blogging.
Here's a photo from my week away in Kent.

grand

My first attempt at lino reduction printing. I rather like it, actually. May be used on a poster advertising a songwriters event at Norwich Cathedral in October.

best

My two absolute favourite ever illustrators (and yes, they are both illustrators).
David Hockney and Andy Warhol portrait party.

new work

Coming soon: poster for Norfolk Songwriters, Etcetera blog illustration launch, King Laconic brand new EP artwork, childrens book illustration for The Tree by Gill Webster, t-shirt designs, plus lots more goodies.

In the meantime, here is an extraordinary piece of jewellery design by the one and only Mr Salvador Dali.

daytime

Just done some identity design (including poster, MySpace/website banner, logo and badges) for lovely, folky, Norwich-based band Lucy Day & the Knights. Watch out for them playing at a venue near you.

annus

Does anyone else feel like this year is going too fast?

Work for sale

My 'valentine' print is now available to buy here.
Go for it.
Treat yourself.

My work has recently been featured on the sexy blogs syntheticpubes, Typostruction and ffffound.
Have a look. Rather exciting.

I'm back!

Hoorah! Hooray! My computer is finally back from the mender's.

Here's a few things I've been getting up to in the meanwhile:
cutting hair, baking cakes, running out of money, getting a job, going to the cinema, hugging, drinking wine, riding my bike, sunbathing, visiting Canterbury, making clothes, burning wood, spring cleaning, sleeeeeping, reading books, eating steak, going to gigs, walking, writing notes, doing crosswords, and lots more.

THANKYOU FOR BEING PATIENT.

Sorry for the lack of activity, my computer has exploded and been away for weeks. Here's a little something I cooked up for Mother's Day while you wait...
