summer pictures and things.

Hello! :)  Sorry I've not written anything on my blog for a while I've been a bit busy with trying to get my dissertation on track. Over the last 2 months or so off and on I've managed to take some pictures of things I've enjoyed.

the Flying Scotsman steam train ( i think) in Dundee.

Ice-creams with my flatmates from the Marble slab ice-cream parlour. Yum!

Muffins that i made. Not bad for my first time.

Rain on the camera lens.

drawings and things

life drawings.

ink,pastel and masking tape on an old box.

My summer project from last year...not nearly done. Its based on a child's escape from reality because of the the sins Gluttony and sloth which effected there growth. The outcome was that they developed the virtues of hope and Faith.

Entrails Zeine

This was the cover of the new Entrails Zeine  issue 3 , released in the 1st of may 2009. Made in Aberdeen. 

I bumped into my freind Al recently who told me all about his new Zeine project that he is currently working on and we got chatting at a scabby Aberdonian bus stop. I asked him if i could maybe put work in and Al agreed he would take a look at this blog. To my absolute delight i saw my Illustration appear along side many other talented and inspiring individuals works. My illustration sat on page 13 along side the Very Talented Lizzy Stewart - www.abouttoday.co.uk one of my favourite illustrators so im feeling rather happy at the minute with that.

thankyou to all working with Entrails im very grateful to have contributed and i appreciate all the hard work that went into creating this issue its ace! keep up the good work! 

Blues bears

This is a present i made for someone i know who plays the Harmonica. 

Media : Pencil and photoshop coloured.

suit-case kid

I was meant to be working on my summer project and in the end i got sucked into making this little person. This little cardboard person has a personal meaning for me but I've decided to leave him open to interpretation. 

Thanx for reading.   :)

 

Little travelling Artist's books

Glasgow Subway.

January 2009 - November 2009.

All the times i have travelled on the Glasgow subway in the last year.

From Dundee to Aberdeen.

October 2008 - April 2009

Some tickets I have lost and some i had to give to the machine of doom at the end of the journey. This book is a flip book so that it is easy to read the dates. Detachable for the Binding  so that there is still and identity to the ticket, it is still valid in some way.

blah blah blah...end. 

thank you for reading/viewing my Pretentious geekie obsessive ticket collecting wee books. :)

Badges,pockets and artist book.

Badges! everyone loves badges!

I love badges :D!

I made some badges and a pocket for them, they are just tester pockets but i quite liked them. I've used them as part of my artists book project. It's still a work in progress at the moment, but I've been enjoying making a wee book based around an idea/theme.

thank you for reading :)
