TWENNY-SIX

So yeah, I turned twenty-six on Easter Sunday! Lots of friends came over and we had a few drinks at the flat (along with some Cosmopolitans), played Rock Band and then went to Unskinny Bop in Bethnal Green for some more drinks and dancing :) 

Being 26 is ok so far I guess... although 'late twenties' isn't a phrase I particularly want to use!

SCRIBBLE

Today I went along to the Stylists Rail S/S event at the Hoxton Hotel in Shoreditch, as the colouring books I created were part of the VIP goody bags. I was told everyone loved them which was nice to hear!

I illustrated clothing and accessories from some of the fair traders, and printed them up into A5 colouring books, complete with crayons! It was a lot of work to get them all printed up in time, but I was really pleased with how they turned out. 

... and Percy approves too!

There were a few moments of sunshine earlier so I snapped my new garish shirt on the balcony.

Also in love with these New Look boots; being 5'8 it's hard to wear any sort of heel without towering over everyone (men included), plus I cannot walk in heels. So these are perfect as they have a bit of a chunk without me getting dangerously close to pushing six feet...

My typeface illustration is now for sale as an A4 print over at Big Cartel and Etsy...

RECENT WORK

I received two pieces of my work printed up yesterday; a flyer design for Best days of our lives project and some illustrations for Zooey Magazine. Both were so much fun to work on and seeing them in print is amazing!

I'm also going to be exhibiting two illustration pieces at a show called SKIN|CROEN, organised by Young Gold Teeth. It's about body perceptions of women in modern culture, and my illustration has been chosen to feature on the flyer.
