This is an old blog post from back in my second year of uni. I wish I knew where this essay was to give it a read through and perhaps post it up. I may have to hunt around for it! For a recent essay analyzing a brand I chose to look at Barbie [...]
I stumbled upon this little gem completely by accident while looking at the artwork that one of the illustrators I follow on deviantART had done for it. Cost me over £20 with postage, which hit my purse a little hard, but looks so worth it. I keep checking the update page for it to see [...]
On my walk into Thomas Parker House the other day I spotted a flyer for a photography competition- the only condition being that the photograph entered had to be taken in one of Lincoln’s nature parks. Feeling up for a challenge myself and Mat boarded a bus after our meeting with the external moderators this [...]
(This is an old blog post) I feel really bad for having neglected my blog for so long, but so much has been happening that I just haven’t found the time to do any blogging past the 140 characters of microblogging that Twitter offers. University is now almost at an end now, third year did [...]
I have a sketchbook that I always take around with me wherever I go. I like to have it with me that much that I actually have to pick new bags out so that they will fit it and some drawing materials in rather than just the usually phone and purse. This sketchbook gets used [...]

For our business cards we were given restrictions this year- we had to create something which was based around a sound effect [...]
Obviously for much of the past month or two I, like many other students across the country, have been very wrapped up in my degree show work. I have been trying to get around the rest of Lincoln’s degree show’s however even though I can’t afford to go too far afield to the ones hosted [...]
I recently purchased a light box after realising that now that uni is over I’ll no longer have access to the ones that they have. I’ve been dabbling with the idea of getting one for quite a while (when I was in college I used to use two piles of books, a lamp and a [...]
