Something

Ok so here are some drawings I've been working on...theyre all works in progress because I have NO TIME at the moment to finish them! I wish someone could just pay me to draw and drink tea.

I also reaaaally want someone to show me how to make them digital, as I'm totally old school and only do things by hand. Help?

 

This last one is a card I painted for Mum for Mothers day, I need to get it back off her so I can scan it in and play around with it!

The rest are trying to be a continuation of my degree work, but with less of a fine art slant and less provocative (I used to draw genitalia flowers. Not very commercial.)

So as you can see I'm trying to force myself to draw and paint things in my spare time. I have SO many ideas and not enough hours in the day. Its all a bit difficult at the moment, with having to move house, do my PTLLS coursework, volunteer, apply for jobs, figure out how to get some money from somewhere, working random bar shifts, trying to network, attend workshops, plan the summer exhibition, apply for funding for the craftshare, etc etc. Yeah. It's all a little bit hectic. I'm hoping something will finally give.

Slackerrrrrrrrr!

Ok so I havent posted for TIIIIME! Since being made redundant from my lovely job at Urbis I've been volunteering my lily white ass off for Venture Arts, Sale High School in the day and working at Zion Arts in the evenings. It's been brilliant and I've met so many good (almost golden) eggs! The kids at Sale are brilliant and challenging but I wouldnt want it to be any other way.

Oh and I've also been trying to complete the 30 days of cycling...check out the site We ride our bikes. Every. Friggin. Day And in my interweb travels I also found these beautiful shops Bobbin Bicycles which is great for funky accessories, probably more as a treat if you're feeling flush, although they have some awesome panniers for around £30! London Cycle Chic is also good for a little browse/perve! I also stumbled across this lady's beautiful cycling blog (plus amazing cycling outfits! Let's Go Ride A Bike As you can probably tell, since the turn of BST I've gone a bit cycling mad! As a treat for all my hard *unpaid* work I treated myself to these beautiful cycling shoes from Vagabond!

As I've had the two weeks of Easter off to recuperate from the madness, I went home to see the rents and fatten myself up a bit and catch up with the fammo. Which included a all you can eat Indian buffet! NOM!
I've not been very focused art or craft wise lately; I've made so many pairs of earrings but no one seems to want to buy them! I admit I do need to add more things to the Etsy page, funk it up a bit, and stop buying vintage things just for myself... I did get an amazing Squirrel jumper though!
I have been drawing while I've been working the bar (hey, it was quiet, I was bored.) I'll upload a scan when it's ready!
In the meantime check out the amazing stuff on Neet Magazine's Blog it has everything a girl could desire!
