New Work

I have been a busy bee drawing again, i've started on a new range of drawings that could keep me going for a while!

They are very natural and are based on the wildlife that surrounds us here in the midlands. I live right next to Cannock Chase which is a huge forest packed full of mysterious animals, birds and rodents. I have been walking up the chase with my grandad since i was really young and now still visit with my doggy Benson. We're really lucky where we live, how we're surrounded by so many pretty woods and forests, i didn't even realise until i started this little venture how close we are to some really interesting places. Like....Sherwood Forest and Cannock Chase and attractions including The Falconry Centre in Stourbridge, can't wait to go!

My new drawings

Please feel free to comment, i'd like to know peoples favourites...

Oh Aggy I Missed You So

I LOVE this shoot by Alasdair McLellan where Aggy reminds me of a young Sinead O'Connor singing 'Nothing Compares To You', shot on the streets of New York in some of Aggy's favourite spots. I cannot believe she has gone and shaved her hair, she is my ultimate icon, iv been craving shaving some of my hair for a while now, will not suit me though as i keep being told by my parents! This may actually be my favourite collection of photos taken of her, she is so beautiful, i mean come on who else would look that good with a shaved head??

Christmas List...

I've come across an interesting book named 'The Exquisite Book' .

Over 100 artists have contributed to the book in an ongoing piece that’s loosely based on the “exquisite corpse” game invented by the surrealists (meaning each one adds on to the previous artist’s drawing using a common horizon line). I love books that have involve a game or a puzzle of some sort, this is just visual love!

Cactus Love

I found these pillows that i might have to buy when i have my own house, they're bloody brilliant! Can't imagine having them on my walls but i do really like the pillows and they have really made me want to design some type of my own.

The second image is just a private joke that involves a cactus looking uncannily familar to me!

I HEART TYPE

Here are some stunning photos that i came across on Flickr a while ago and just found them hidden away on my hard drive! I think that they may have been taken in Vegas as that it what they are saved as, sorry i have no more information...

I love the shape of the letters and the fairground style that they have, i would love to have a go one day soon at creating my own lettering similar to this. The three dimensional chunkiness and the shadows created give the words something else along with the rust erosion and layers of peeling metal.

Just some things that make me want to draw.. la di dah.
