I made these tasty fruit muffins yesterday, I put blueberries, and raspberries in them with some white chocolate buttons too. They have been eaten now though. But I took some photos before hand! Do not fear

 These are some pieces I did to go in an art exhibition, but I really don't like them, ah well...

Peace x

I'm learning Spanish, Adam showed me a website and where you can learn languages online, It's pretty cool.
I got so excited I went and bought an exercise book, and then covered it in brown paper like I used to do with my French books in school. YEAH!

Apparently I will be fluent by October, nice one technology!

hello all the party people out there

after 5 months of travelling, me and adam are back,
we went to mexico. it was very lovely there and full of wonderful people,
i have just finished off setting up a little art studio in one of the spare room of the house so am pretty excited about popping its cherry.

some snaps from mex

peace and love

art from camberwell

last night was the first time i've looked through my folder of work since i was taken home.
there are some horrible reminders and some things which make me smile and wonder why i stopped drawing and refused to carry on.

it will still be hard for me to find it again i suppose.

just needs a kick up the arse.

I just wanted to let everyone know that i am still alive. work has taken over and has destroyed any social life that i had.

 

 

 

just found this

i think it is of this chubby chubbster i used to stalk on myspace.
either way i remember at the time i was experimenting with shadow

Loitering In The UK

It is now 64 days until I leave. I'm terrified. There is a lot of negative feedback from my family. Which I don't really like. I don't ignore it. I just don't like it. It makes me feel unhappy that I am doing the wrong thing again, and making another wrong decision. I am more than capable of making a wrong decision and have become quite good at making them. Although that isn't something for me to be proud of. It makes me nervous.
I would really like to be excited at the moment, however that is a difficult task to achieve.
I have however proceeded to buy some things for the journey.
Like a torch, and tissues, and lots of rizla.
I also need to get my hands on a travellers backpack, so, if anyone would sell one? Or inform me where to get a good'un
Life goes on in England for a little while longer..
Escape is all I can think of.

I haz a job

4 months til usa

can't wait.

my art career is over.

my poor life choices are foRever!

sketchbook updates

not looking forward to today, it is mayday but that makes no sense really. i will be turning 19 in a few weeks, which i also guess is quite exciting but again not really, because it makes my mistakes more important as i should be older and wiser and more of an 'adult'
at the moment you could look at me and see a very small child hiding under a table because she is scared that she has done a lot of wrong things and is about to get sent to the naughty step.
in my dream last night all my teeth fell out and my mouth was stained black, very weird.
happy may 1st
CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO MAKE THEM LARGER.

I am finally putting something new up. I have good news as well, my work went in to a local exhibition back at home and the starting night was yesterday. 

SO happy, one of my pictures sold for £60, 

have to start somewhere now that I am a complete fuck up.

Seriously. Very much shot my future in the head.

Sum it up 09

I haven't posted anything in a while. I was just looking through some old polaroids from the summer. I can't wait for this year.

can't sleep

some sort of half naked woman with long hair

now to tidy my room and pack my bag, going home for the weekend

For the latest assignment we were given a selection of extracts from books. 

There were many to choose from but I felt that the others seemed to be very dark and unhappy.

The one I chose may also be like this, but it is about cats and is very very funny. And about cats.

William F Nolan, Wonder Worlds, Corgi Books, "He Kilt It With A Stick"

About a man with a heart condition who dislikes cats very much. His whole life he has killed many a cat in some really horrible ways. My job is to turn it into an illustration. 

Here are some pictures I drew of cats. They are not dead yet.

 

5 WAYS TO KEEP WARM THIS WINTER

 

the obvious, hotwater bottles strap to the front and rear

next, to wear socks instead of gloves. like mittens i guess

 

a wig of fire. known fact that you lose the most heat from your head

scarfs wrapped round every limb. trendy...

the all time classic: toast under armpits. (a tasty snack on the go too)

Thumbs & Cats

 

I have been trying to draw the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland.

Its bloody difficult to make a cat smile.

Haha. Oh dear.

 

my thumb.
