Part of me can’t believe that it’s been a year since I graduated already, but having visited the degree show of this years fresh graduates a few weeks ago I guess I’m going to have to accept the fact! It was extremely strange being back in Thomas Parker house again, although quite pleasant as well. [...]
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while after seeing other illustrators post their own bookcases. I think you can learn a lot about people by what they have on these shelves- or if they even have any shelves at all! This is my messy bookcase. Its mainly full of artbooks, but it [...]
Bit of a different blog post than I’d usually write but this came to me while I was struggling to sleep with a cold last week and I thought that while I’m in the mood to blog nursing a bottle of Brothers I’d post it. Fears. We all have them. Some of them logical and [...]
Righto, I’ve been looking to do this for about a month now but always find drawing/reading a book/pinterest etc more interesting than writing a blog post. Apologies for the wait.

Feeling up for a challenge myself and Mat boarded a bus after our meeting with the external moderators this [...]
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 [...]
As part of our degree show this year we all had to create a book to showcase some of the work that we have created and to talk about ourselves a little. I chose to focus on the fact that I am a very visual designer as I do a lot of illustration and photography, [...]
Today I felt like a bit of a thief as I pottered around B&Q on my way home. I wasn’t popping pots of paint into my pocket or sneaking power tools into my bag, but I was collecting wallpaper samples with the intention of using them for something other than wallpapering. I had to stop [...]
