Urban Outfitters

I recently went to Urban Outfitters and I saw their collection of patterned plates for sale. They are absolutely amazing, so pretty.

They also sell tea cups and saucers, sugar pots, tea pots and milk jugs.

They are on sale at the moment on the website, I can't wait till I move out of this student house and into my own, then I'm going to fill it with things like this.

Acrylicana Shoes

These shoes are absolutely amazing I wish I could have all of them. Sadly with my lack of funds I can't even justify buying one pair. You can look at Acrylicana here and buy the shoes from here.

Another Deer Stencil.

I haven't done much stencilling over the summer. In fact I only cut one, another deer. I'm really sorry about the quality of the picture I had to take it with my webcam because my camera is cocking up and wont turn on.

 I'll repost another picture either when I get a new camera or if I knick one of my friends.

Faux Pas

A friend of mine holds an event night one a month in a club called monkey in Swansea (It's called Faux Pas, If your interested look for it on Facebook.). He asked me to create a design for a t-shirt, he wanted it to be a fox because people keep mispronouncing the name.

This is the photo I used for reference (It's so cute, I want one!). He also said he want it to be drawn in the style of candy skulls and to have a diamond in the centre of its forehead. This is the final drawing I gave to him.

I'm really pleased with how it has turned out. I sent it to him in April and it's finally been printed. It looks awesome.

Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger ft. Christina Aguilera

I absolutely love this song, It's amazing!! Also the lead singer is really hot.

New Uni Project

 I haven't been on here in ages, I wish I could say that I've been really busy but that would be lying. I could back to uni on the 4th so I'm starting a new project about birds and I've decided that I want to start it off by looking at how animals play a part in different mythologies. I've looked at Celtic, Norse, Greek, and at the moment I'm looking at Native American. Whilst looking for pictures I came across these and thought they were amazing.

Givedinanang (Polaris) - Guardian of the north, brings winter and old age. Vabananang (Venus Ur) - Tyler East, the dawn brings new life, rebirth and healing, giving rise to a new day. Zhavananang (Jupiter) - Guardian of the south, is updated, gives warmth and food. Ningabianang (Venus in the evening) - Guardian of the West, brings maturity and as materials with Nimki Fest Ojibwe. Pictures, of course, ancient.

Yay!

I've bought the pocket watch, woo! But I have to wait like 24 days for it to arrive. But yay I've got the watch.

I want!

I want, I want! Its off ebay and costs 99p with £4.99 postage and packaging. Which isn't much but I'm low on funding and don't really like buying things off the internet with my card. I did ask my mum to buy it but she's being a meanie and wont order for me.

Stencil

At the moment I have a thing for deers and I created a stencil of a deer's head and spray painted it on to a t-shirt.

I would have also put a picture of the stencil up but my camera has now decided it will turn it's self on but then straight back off again. Bloody annoying. 

Alice In Wonderland

Within six months of the copyright licence expiring on Alice In Wonderland a number of people had already produced their own illustrations. So far none of them can compare with John Tenniel's original illustrations.

But there are a few that have caught my eye like Arthur Rackham. I love the muted colours that have been used and how he has styled the characters differently to have Tenniel did.

Another Illustrator who's style is completely different to Tenniel and Rackham is Anne Bachelier. I love the way the use of water colour has made the illustrations look.

The other illustrator who I think has made the images his own is Rodney Matthews.

I like the composition of his pieces and the way in which he has drawn them.
