LONDON

When I was in London for the D&AD exhibition we had the hottest weather! I got to spend a few days looking around London in the sunshine. One of my favourite places was Colombia Rd. which came to life on a sunday when they have a weekly flower market. A few of these photos are from there and a few from other odd things I liked.

D&AD NEW BLOOD

I recently exhibited at the New Blood exhibition on Brick Lane in London. Here are some photos of the ECA stand and some of other work I liked....

DEGREE SHOW

We had our degree show at Edinburgh College of Art from the 12th June-20th June. It was very stressful getting it all together! Here are some photos of my space.

SNEAK PEEK

Here is a sneak peek at one of the pages of the 'Woodland' volume of my birds of argyll books. The page shows a wren at the top and a goldcrest at the bottom. This is a digital image at the moment but it will be printed for my final book.

COAL TIT

Here is a scan of a drawing which will be in my final book of woodland birds. He's just a black and white ink drawing at the minute but he will be coloured in beautifully for the book!

Christmas Promotion

I haven't posted anything in so long, I can't believe it! Here are some images from a Christmas promotion project I did. I chose to make a robin christmas/business card out of wood with a hinged wing so you could see my name underneath. I screen printed my drawing into wood and had it cut out with a fret saw. Here are the photos from the making process...

My positives on tracing paper and the colours i mixed, ready for printing.
