Lost and Found

Life has been sweet lately, here are some pretty sweet cupcakes I made.

Vanilla cupcakes with a strawberry jam filled core, vanilla buttercream and a lil' Jammie Dodger on top!

Even sweeter, is our new pup, Gypsy Big Ears!

Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward

So I've had a pretty jam-packed summer. It hasn't left much time for illustration type projects but I have been enjoying some other creative and fun past-times!

Walking in the woods

Picking wild blackberries

Playing with my two beautiful nieces

Getting chickens and eating fresh eggs! (they are called Mo, Pat, Peggy and Dot!)

Doing lots of face painting

Puppy-sitting

Baking hundreds of cupcakes....too many cupcakes!

Making carnival costumes and then coming first place in Appledore Carnival! 

(yes, thats me dressed as a giant party popper!)

It has been an interesting and whirlwind summer.

 I am looking forward to autumn walks and wearing scarves now!

Just for fun

watch me struggle to turn the pages in my iPad comic book demo!

Finally.....

I have a new Logo.

Mad as a Hatter

A zine I threw together for a promotional project and my crazy irrational thoughts. I havn't got it printed yet, but it will also go into the zine swap. (having major print problems right now but its still happening!)

Lets Swap!

Well I have been away for a while but only because I have been quietly planning a few things...one of which is this lovely lovely Zine and Comic book swap! I'll send you my things, you send me yours, and then I'll blog about it! Already have quite a few people involved in this project so watch this space for info on all the goodies that have been sent to me!

Comic Book and Zine

Sneaky pics :)

I MADE A ZINE

THIS LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER PRINTED OUT. I ALSO PRINTED OUT MY COMIC WHICH LOOKS PRETTY KICKASS IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF. AND I MADE AN IPAD APPLICATION SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND READ IT. HOW BRAINY.

DUH

So I feel like my brain has melted away with too much TV/Facebook. Today I had enough and went on a book hunt and OH I find a massive comic book store in my town. THREE YEARS its taken me to notice this. Anyway, lots of comics have been ordered/money spent, but I am happy. Also bought some books I have been meaning to read for AGES. 

You might not really care but these books are:

Sweet Tooth Volume Two by Jeff Lemire (comic)
American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Choke by Chuck Palaniuk
Any Human Heart by William Boyd (did anyone see the Channel 4 series? AMAZING)

OH

.....with about a day to go before my deadline I think its finally looking more worthy of at least a pass....I hope! Just missing two drawings and the chapter titles and the front and back pages...and my whole portfolio. Shit.
