New season, new look!

The new season isn't just summer; now that I've finished uni, I decided my blog needed a little updating looks-wise.  I've got a website in the works, so hopefully that'll be looking all shibby and shiny soon, with a super neato custom blog attached!

Since moving away from uni - course-wise and location-wise - my motivation's dropped a little.  There's only so much clearing and tidying and unpacking I can take!  And it's taking a little while to get used to my new surroundings, but I can feel my old creative self coming out of hiding again!  Currently, in amongst some freelance, I'm still working on my second limited-colour print, which I hope to post up by the end of this week!  If I haven't, hound me until I do.  It's good for me.

In the meantime, enjoy this exciting piece of toast I had a while back.  Anybody found the key...?

Actually, I should totally be more excited that it's the summer!  Here's to the summer, and all the excitement it brings!  (even more exciting than toast with a keyhole)

SMALL AND MIGHTY THOR!

Ahhh, went to see Thor last night, was really goooooood.  And you know when you see a movie and you're still in that little movie bubble you're in when you leave the cinema, all the next day....

He's got his Mleu-mleur.  Oh yeah.

(Can you believe it's been a year since I got this notebook!  Time flies...  missing Annecy this year, but making damn sure I go next year! FO SHIZZLE.)

Oh, and by the way, Lonnyville Peeps, I'm on twitter now.  Yeah.  Finally crossed over to the darkside.  But it's kinda fun!  If you wanna follow me, click HERE!  Or on that nifty button over on the right!

Peaches in Love

First time I've drawn Peaches in a long time!  She's a cutie, isn't she?  Also wanted to experiment with using a limited palette of colours... I'm liking it!  Want to do another two to make a little set!

Tiny book!

Was chatting with a mate on Skype this morning, and ended up messing around with making a tiny book out of one sheet of paper!  Here is the tiny book:

front cover (also part of poster)

inside pages

first pages

side A inside pages unfolded

side A other inside pages unfolded

pages half-unfolded

Side A individual pages flat

Side B poster (individual pages on other side of poster), front cover bottom left.

Peppermint Creams!

Drew this a couple months ago, and finally got round to colouring it!  It was a nostalgic homage to those manga days in secondary school and the yummy peppermint creams my mum makes...

Siblings Day!

My brother and I decided to start Siblings Day, cuz we're both that awesome.  This is the card I made him, featuring his face, and the two main characters from my final film.

Used: brown paper, sharpie, tip-ex, coloured pencils.

Syd & Squid's Beach Rescue

So, this marks the end of my three years at uni... boy, what an experience!  I'll save my ramblings about it for another day (mostly because I want to continue to kid myself it's not really over), but here's the link to my final film.  Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get it totally finished in time for hand-in or the Harbour Lights screening (yes, it was shown on a big screen!) but I really want to finish it, so watch this space!
