Etsy Love - Nature Rebranded

Lately I've been thinking up a new concept for my next design project. I've chose to explore nature and man made, particularly the combination of nature and modern materials.

Of course, it wouldn't be right to start my sketchbook before searching Etsy for some beautiful inspiration.

5. White Faux Taxidermy / 6. Mr Lentz / 7.  Glimpse Glass/ 8. Boxwood/ 9. Seahag and Walrus

Remake & Remodel - The final design ideas part 1

I feel like I've been pretty absent from blogging recently, but my last deadline is tomorrow so normal blogging will commence shortly!

In the mean time here's a sneak peak of part of my design development for the Remake & Remodel project. I discarded this shoe design as I wanted to work on a sneaker style shoe in the end.

You can see more of my uni work here, and more of my illustrations here.

Remake & Remodel - Thumbnail Designs

For my Remake Remodel project I did two A3 sheets of tiny designs based on DNA & bacteria. The next stage after this is to take 6 designs and develop them, then choose the final design from those.

You can view more of my uni work here and more of this project here.

Here are my initial thumbnail designs:

Chris Simpsons Artist Matryoshka

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Chris (Simpsons Artist) to paint a set of Russian Dolls featuring his artwork on them. I had to say yes! I'm a big fan of Chris, he has a fantastic sense of humor and his illustrations and captions never fail to make me laugh.

I chose to paint Chris's version of Michael Jackson & Bubbles, The Queen, Salvador Dali, Wookie and Homer. It's been a fun challenge to paint in the style of another artist and I'm really happy with how these turned out. Of course I had to add in some bright colours to PonyChopsise the dolls a little.

You can see the work in progress for these dolls here.

A London Catch Up

I've been living in London over two months now. I'm lucky enough to have found a group of fun, crazy and totally lovable people to live with and I'm loving it here. My first term at uni has been both one of the most challenging and one of the most fun times of my life, I feel like I'm already learning and progressing so much.
London has always been one of my favorite places on earth, it still feels really surreal to be living here and I'm so grateful I get to study in this beautiful, energetic city.

I realize I still haven't shared much of my life in London with you, so here are a few photos from the past few weeks of my exploration of London and a few bits of my uni work (if you follow me on instagram you'll probably have seen these already).
