Another year older...



This month sees the birthday of Miss Natasha Louise Pitt a dear friend from back home. She is the grand old age of 22 and I made her a sock dog as a present, finished off with a little warm red scarf! Love you lots Pitt, many happy returns.

Verklarte Nacht...

In a recent uni project we had to explore the relationship between 2D and 3D. I decided to go for something a little different and produced a paper cut scene based on the German poem Verklarte Nacht. I braved the woodwork workshop and with the help from a lovely gentleman called Craig, made a wooden box to slot my designs into. I was really chuffed with the end result...


Guinness World Records...

Phew it's finally Friday! It has been a very hectic week and there have been A LOT of late nights to try and get stuff done but, I can finally take a mini breath! I've just handed in a short brief which was to produce 4 illustrations for Guinness World Records. They have 4 categories in which their records fall under; size, extraordinary, dedication and speed. Our project was to create illustrations to represent each of the categories. Here are my solutions...

Beautiful Edinburgh...



I went to Edinburgh the other week with some of my course mates and I took these pictures whilst at the top of Calton Hill. It was such a beautiful sunny morning you could just see for miles. Edinburgh is such a lovely city, I sure would love to live here one day.

Disintegration...






The first project of my 3rd year studying Illustration, was to design a booklet based on a word we drew out of a hat. I picked "Disintegration." Rather than going for the obvious, I decided to go for something a bit different and look at quirky quotes to do with my chosen topic.

Christmas is just around the corner...well kind of...


It seems that many of you have finally seen the Christmas Coca Cola advert which means that Christmas is just around the corner (even though yes I know it is only mid November!) But I was thinking about tree decorations the other day and fancied a go at making one out of my good old friend, felt. I made a little robin, complete with wool scarf and sparkly red breast.
