Bought this really lovely book a few days ago from Toppings of illustrated envelopes sent to the children's book publisher Klaus Flugge over the years. 

There's loads of really sweet and funny ideas from some of my favourite illustrators as a kid, definitely going to try and do this on my envelopes from now on! Seriously recommend this book for anyone who enjoys children's illustration it's so good, here are just a few of my personal favourites, sorry about my terrible scanner..

- David Mckee

- Emma Chichester Clark

- Max Velthuis

- Posy Simmonds

- Satoshi Kitamura

- Susan Varley

- Tony Ross

Some nice inspiration to start me off on third year!

Fridtjof Nansen

A few assorted bits of work I made last year for my project on sexy Norwegian explorer type Fridtjof Nansen, but never used for anything. Will post the finished book sometime soon..

- painted ceramics

- sauna and lino printed birch forest

Did some screen printed postcards in the last couple of days of second year to play around with some techniques.

Was quite happy with them at the time but now I think they look pretty rubbish. Wouldn't mind redoing the neon breakfast one a bit bigger with more detail and more layers.

Quick little flier from the summer 

my first business cards!

Finished screen printing these business cards today, look real good! Got quite a bit of help from the print technician and am learning lots, I wanna do a load of screen printing before we break for summer. Expect to see more of Peanut the dog over the next few months! London tomorrow, I've got a golden ticket to the Point design conference yeyy!

this puppy means business

Been working this week on trying to present myself as an illustrator to get an internship for the summer! This is Peanut the dog, he's going to be my kind of mascot for developing my professional identity. Started screen printing some business cards  yesterday so will post them next week. Peanut is all about business.

Also starting to think about building my website but it's kinda hard. Hopefully have it up in the next couple of weeks! 

U No Likey Like That

Great video for new DJ Yoda tune and v. summery, enjoy!

Such a nice song!

happy easters

Been practicing my screen printing making these cutie easter cards for my friends and family! Was so much quicker and easier making small images even with four layers and i got to recycle peoples left over inks to make rad new colours! 

 Hope whatever you're doing this easter break you're having a lovely time and maybe going on holiday to get a bit of sun! Weather in Bath at the moment is totally lame so I'm staying in and doing work, expect new posts soon!
