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!

Howdy folks! How are you all? Sorry for the belated blog posts, I’ve been pretty busy at work and so I’ve not had much time to do any illustrations or blog about anything- boo!

On a rather exciting note, I’m part of an exhibition run by the O3 Gallery in Oxford. On These Magic Shores features various contemporary illustrators from different disciplines and backgrounds, making their own visual interpretation of folklores and fairytales. I have illustrated a very popular fairytale although all will be revealed very soon!

If you’re around Oxford please pop along to the exhibition and see some amazing artwork!

Massive apologies for the delay in the write up of The Picture Show Private View, which was at The Coningsby Gallery. I’ve been really busy at work but  now I have two weeks off for the company shut down; I’ll be chilling out and doing some more illustration work. (So not exactly resting.)

Anyway, to round up The Picture Show Private View. The Private View went really, really well! The gallery was pretty much filled up throughout the night and plenty of drinks constantly flowing, like, non stop from Barefoot Wines! That night, lots of friends and families turned up to show their support. It was nice to see Emma Block and the Ballad Of ladies, Lindsey and Claire. Our tutors from our illustration course were there on the night. They were clearly very happy to see us and chuffed that we’ve all remained very good friends after graduating about three years ago.

Big thanks to Mags Potter Photography and Vinesh for taking photos during the PV night.

It’s so crazy that the seven months of planning went by so fast! We were all working really hard getting everything together and the amount of work that goes into organising an exhibition takes a lot of time.

Just after the exhibition, I had an interview for a CELTA course and I got on to it! My plan is to do the CELTA course and then swan off to Hong Kong for a while. I’ve said it for years that I’ve always wanted to go travelling and things are now starting to slowly come together. I’ll continue to do illustration on the side but I don’t want to rush into freelancing straight away. I’d rather wait until it picks up and then go with it. But for now, I want to be somewhere nice and hot!
