Flamingo Magazine
I did two illustrations for Flamingo Magazine. One was for an article about the American artist Gordon Matta Clark and the other one was about creating an imaginary tree house.

Open Doors Exhibition Private View
Last night Sam and I went along to Open Doors Private View Exhibition.We were, like, two hours late but our friends were nice enough to wait for us! Oh dear. Anyway our friend Fuad was exhibiting so it was great to see his work along with other super talented artists. Open Doors is a pop-up exhibition based on London boroughs, the current exhibition was based on W12 (yeah the Bush!) I didn’t expect it to be in someones house but I loved it because it felt very cosy and informal.
What I liked about Open Doors is that there’s a sense of community ethos. To see artists getting together and supporting the community, promoting the area, and seeing each artists interpretation of W12 there should be more things like this going on.
Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos because we were pretty late and by that time we said our hi’s and bye’s for the night! But Fuad took loads of photos so you can check them out via his Facebook Fan page here. Open Doors are on Twitter so make sure to follow them for the lastest news and updates about future events. If they ever pop round to the N4 area well I’m there for sure!
I have another exhibition review to write up but I need a cup of tea now. Have a lovely Saturday peeps!
Junkie Lovers Boutique
Junkie Lovers Boutique is up and running! I designed the banner for Anouska and she was really happy with it!
Norah Jones for Jazz and Draw
I can’t believe I never posted this up! Double failure!
This was my contribution to Jazz and Draw, a project about Jazz of course! Each artist has to select a jazz artist and a song to go along with their post. I chose Norah Jones and the song “Come Away With Me.” You can see the post here.
Africa Fashion Guide Book
Some rather exciting news folks. Jacqueline Shaw contacted me a few months ago about a rather exciting fashion illustration project. The project was to illustrate a few designers for a new fashion book called Africa Fashion Guide which she’s going to publish as part of her MA course. The aim of the book is to promote ethical designers and to show that the fashion industry can work in a sustainable way.
I produced a few illustrations and all will be revealed once the book is out (don’t want to spoil it for everyone!) There’s also a launch party to celebrate the book and there are also talks as well going on through the night. The launch party is on Friday 9th September and for more information check out this link for deets. And Natsuki Otani‘s beautiful illustration graces the flyer.
This morning I received a Puma top and a thank you note from Jacqueline. To my surprise the Puma top is a sample making it extra special.
Anyway I’m looking forward to Friday, it’s time to party!
