Sale

 

 

I’m moving out of London in August so everything, and I mean everything, has to go. As a way of saying thank you for your support over the past few years I’m having offering 50% off everything in my Etsy shop (minimum order has to be £5.00).

Now’s your time to make a purchase as I won’t be opening my Etsy shop when I’m back at home (I’ve got a lot of stuff to sort out!)

I don’t get the time to do any personal work, due to my full-time job, so it’s been pretty sweet to spend a bit of time developing some ideas. I’ve spent the afternoon doing some sketches based on an open garden tour I went on a couple of weeks ago (I’ll blog about it soon!)

I’ve been experimenting with mark-making by applying different pens and colour pencils over each other. I think I need to draw more still life objects in order to expand my portfolio i.e. I can draw other things apart from cute animals.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your feedback.

Sam and I took a trip to Oxford on Sunday for O3 Gallery’s closing party for On These Magic Shores, which is situated in Oxford Castle. It was really lovely to chat to Helen Statham (the director of the gallery) and to meet her in person. It’s always nice to see someone’s actual face when you’ve been in constant contact with them over many emails. I also had the chance to talk to Dave who runs Comma and To Dry For, an online shop specialising in awesome designer tea towels.

After more chatting over tea and biscuits, we went to The Ashmoleon Museum and then to Byron for a tasty (and meat free) burger. We did this veggie thing for a month and funnily enough I never once missed or craved meat. In fact, not only am I inclined to eat less meat, but to go meat free every so often now.

Anyway, I have a back log of posts to put up as well as loads of photos to edit so I’ll end it here!
