Happy Monday! Well apparently it's #bluemonday today, known as the most depressing day of the year (so I'm told!), so I thought to help cheer everyone up I would share a peek inside my sketchbook, although having said that, I actually tend to work on loose sheets of paper as I find it more freeing than working in an actual sketchbook and it also … [Read more...]
Over the last week I've been taking part in a lovely project started by the very talented Victoria Johnson called A Little Art and thought it would be fun to share what I've been creating. I've been feeling a bit 'stuck' lately and suffering from what you might call creative block. I had ideas for what I wanted to create but every time I sat down … [Read more...]
Well it's now June - the month that Summer officially begins - but if the weather has been anything like it has here the last few days (wet and cold!) then I hope my summery ice lolly painting will help brighten up your day! … [Read more...]
I thought it was a good time to write the next blog post in my 'Working In Surface Pattern Design' series so in this post I'll show you how I go from a sketch to collection. I get a lot of emails from students, graduates and new business start-ups asking me all about my work and how I got started but I think one of the most popular questions is … [Read more...]
Wow, another month has just flown by! It feels like it's been a really productive month and it's certainly been another busy one as I've gained some lovely new clients and some exciting new projects to work on! I'm loving how varied the projects are too, for example, a lasercut wood project which I finished the other week (hoping to have photos … [Read more...]
Following on from last weeks experimenting with collage, for #artdaily2015 I have been trying out some of my other new art supplies and have fallen in love with coloured marker pens! I had used marker pens years ago at college but that was more for technical drawing and product design (in the foundation year of my course) but recently I've been … [Read more...]
Last week was a relatively quiet one for me in terms of freelance projects. A lot of the projects I've had on recently have finished, or are finishing around the same time which has meant that I've had a bit more 'free time' to start thinking about my own work again. Although I love being busy and that's what I'm working towards all the time, … [Read more...]
I thought it would be nice to do a round up of last weeks #artdaily2015 drawings on Instagram. I'm gradually trying to get back into it and managed to share 4 drawings last week. The project has really gained momentum now and we have gained lots of new followers and also loads of new designers participating and sharing their daily creative … [Read more...]
Wow where did January go?! I think I owe you an explanation of where I've been and why I've not blogged for the last 3 weeks. Yes it's really been 3 weeks, I even had to dust off my blog and check myself - I'm really sorry! Well after telling you all about my daily work sharing project #artdaily2015 over on Instagram and how much I was enjoying … [Read more...]
Well the #artdaily2015 project over on Istagram seems to be gaining momentum! There are now quite a few of us sharing our daily creative projects and tagging them under the same hashtag of #artdaily2015, so if you search using this hashtag your feed will be filled with beautiful new artwork. … [Read more...]
Happy Friday! Wow, where did this week go?! For me it was in a blur of packing and sending out Etsy shop orders and working on a new daily project I've started over on Instagram called #artdaily2015 I see it as a way of committing myself to create at least one small piece of creative work each day but without the pressure of working to a brief. … [Read more...]
