Stour Space

I’ve been meaning to go to Stour Space for ages so yesterday we went there on the motorbike. I’m not exactly familiar with the area and we got lost a few times on the motorbike! It was a bit of a mini adventure going endlessly round and round the area!

I didn’t realise Stour Space was a converted warehouse and so I was pretty amazed by it. There was High Roller Society’s ‘Roll Over Play Dead’ exhibition on the ground floor and I assume the studio spaces were on the top floor as well as the ground floor.

Afterwards, we went to the Carlton Cafe and we sat outside overlooking the canal and the Olympic Stadium. It was pretty sweet to see street painter Malarky’s work embezzled all over the Carlton’s walls.

And then we went straight to Westfields for a few hours… All in all it was a rather lovely afternoon!

My Etsy Shop is Now Closed

Yup, that’s right folks. My Etsy shop is closed but only for a few months though. I’m planning on making more new products and branching out to potential stockists. I’m going to focus solely on making products now rather than being the ‘traditional’ illustrator. I’m still up for taking on commissions, however, I really enjoy doing my own personal work than answering briefs! I love the creative freedom of creating new images and applying them onto products. So I’d like to experiment more with screen printing and making textile products.

In the meantime, you can still by my products in my Society6 shop and my Bespo shop.

The Blue Bird

I just can’t stop drawing birds at the moment. Must be the weather.

Local Blend on Green Lanes

This afternoon I went to Local Blend, a lovely cafe on Green Lanes (Harringay area). If you’re not familiar with Green Lanes basically it’s a massive road that has loads and loads of amazing Turkish restaurants, late night newsagents and random wedding dress shops.

I wandered down Green Lanes yesterday towards Wood Green and I happened to walk by Local Blend. Being a massive coffee addict I had to check it out before I moved out. It’s a really nice open space; air con in this weather is a bonus! I ordered a flat white and a carrot and courgette cake and I have to say the cake was so tasty.

I’ll definitely be back for another cake!
