back from

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2010!
It was my 3rd glastonbury in a row haha and the weather was amazing! no rain at all, yes i said it, no rain.
I will upload some photos from it when i move into my new flat on saturday but up until then you won't hear anything from me as i'm far too busy, sorry guys!

i went to the show last night, loved seeing some old faces, and i've been working on the designs i mentioned in my previous post, not sure if they are working out how i wanted them to though, remember they are meant to be for the top of kitchen chalk boards. any comments would be much appreciated.

so..

tonight i'm off to my old college to go and see the degree that i was on before i moved to Leeds, final show :) i'm quite excited actually, will be nice to see a few old faces too.
i'm also in the process of sending a design to a guy on ukhandmade, just need to wait until i get back to Leeds on thursday to use my scanner. He's looking for designs to go on kitchenware chalkboards so i'm thinking of using some of my house designs from my previous project and spruce them up a little, we shall see how it goes, fingers crossed!

i've also decided what my next project will be on.. i know i'm a little bit early but it's going to be based on surbubia and the classic street as i enjoy drawing little quirky houses so much it should be right up my street haha.

oh well toodle pip :)

messing about

so i went for a lovely family meal today with the whole family for my cousin's birthday and had some yummy food and ofcourse my boyfriend damien came along. We left at 9pm to watch the results of the eurovision song contest haha i know we're geeks and decided to take some photos on my webcam. lisa x

so i'm back in newcastle for a week and have no way of uploading any photos of my work so instead i thought i'd upload a few of my original illustrations from my last project, then upload the photos when i get back to leeds.

also i need a shopping spree, especially with glastonbury festival coming up, i need some serious summer/festival clothes so etsy and eBay here i come.

finished!

oh yes summer is finally here, i'm finished uni until september :) handed all my project in on monday and should hopefully get my marks back for it in my tutorial on tuesday. I am actually quite pleased with it and would have loved to have done a lot more if only there had have been more time, however it's all done and dusted now so it's time to relax in my garden in the sun and 26 degree heat!

here's a couple of photos of how my work was set up for handing in.

and i'm almost ready! then it's summer, finally some time to relax.

i'm pretty much finished my project and after hand in tomorrow i'll upload a photo of my work space all set up with my project, but until then here's a an image of an artists book i've made.

coming along nicely

so my final project is going smoothly for once, got all my digital printing done this morning pretty much, only got a few bits and bobs left to print as well as screen print my apron and tea towel. Here's one of my giftwraps, if not my favourite of the collection so far.

neglecting

Sorry i've been neglecting my blog a little, so busy at uni with the current project. I think i've somehow managed to set myself too much work to do, probably because it's our last project of the year and we got to write our proposal for it ourselves. I've decided to attempt to design 3 gift wrapping papers, 3 cards, tags, an apron, tea towel, 6 final illustrations and an artist book... hmm not sure if it's going to happen with only a week and

a couple of days left before hand in.

Anyways here is a card design for someone moving into a new home, i'm not sure what colour to use for the frame around the design so some input would be great :) as well as here are some other designs i've done over the last couple of days.

Just practicing digitally colouring some of my drawings, as that is what i want to do for my final illustrations.

I'm beginning to get the hang of it, not as neat as i want it to be yet though, but practice makes perfect :)
