A quiet start to a new year :)

Hello, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Like most people at New Years, I've started a fresh with a resolution or two. The ones that relate to art are; GO TO UNIVERSITY!! YOU HAVE GOTTEN IN! and the second is to be more involved in the art world. Talking to other Illustrators more, this involves a joint pen pal project. It also involves more blogging :) Hurrah!

In the last post I wrote that I hoped to get into Swansea University. Well I've gotten in! Unconditional. So technically there is no reason to for me not to start September. Why's September so far away? :(

I've finally got an iPad, which I'm blogging from now, whilst sat atop of the kitchen counter ;) on Christmas Day I downloaded an app called 'Paper'. If you have an iPad, this app is a must! Even though I absolutely love traditional means of creating pieces and that will forever be my first love. This app if really fun and inspiring. Here are a few bits I've been experimenting with on there.

Long time no see...

I've really neglected this blog. Opps. Well I should have gone to University this September however I had a panic and now I have a full-time job. However I've seen the error of my ways and I would very much like to go to University this September... I've reapplied already :) ...SWANSEA!!... Really hope I get in... ANNNYYYWAYYY.... Art wise I've been a little neglectful as well, however I'm really hoping to make a really good portfolio for interview (if I'm lucky enough to get one). I'm obsessed with Lino again. I like to think my actual Lino designs are good it's just the actually cutting I'm not very good at "/ to the point where I become a bit of a danger to myself *as shown in the picture. I plan to keep up with posting things, I like looking back it's really nice :) More to come....

Pencil drawing of a woman... I've been offered a space in Swansea for Illustration, so out of the Offers I've currently received it's my first choice. In the first few weeks they let you draw on the walls and I wanted to have a think of it I was to draw on said wall, what it would be I would draw... I came up with this... I think it would look pretty cool in Sharpe on a large wall :)

This is just a jumble of pictures that I've drawn recently (pre-edits)... Trying something new :) (Chris is sat next to me saying they're good... we differ on opinion...although the man with the hat is slowly becoming my favorite.

These are the edited versions of something I was just messing around with... I think they're cute...

This is picture of mine and Oliva's desk at Christmas time, we've broken up from College now, so I've taken some decorations with me to decorate my room but I will bring them back, because it makes me happy sitting somewhere so beautiful... however it annoys me when my washing lines fall down :(

I went shopping today to give guidance to my dad, so he could choose my mum a Christmas present, when I came over these. I already have a few but that one of the right was huge and beautiful <3 maneki neko's may inspire my next piece humm....
