OFF TO THE PRINTERS WITH YOU.

HELLO!

4AM was set off to the printers for this morning. It's finally happening!

A project 9 months in the making (and actually my final university project as well) is well and truly a labour of love. I'm really glad i've sen it through to the end after all the problems it hit along the way.

I've worked hard these last few days to get it ready for print (my least favourite bit) and sent it off yesterday or neat and tidy. A thing that was hard to visualise a few weeks ago!

It all sort of just ended. After working on something for so long and being so used to having a seemingly endless list of things to draw still, it was very odd when i realised last wednesday that i had drawn everything needed.

I'm picking it up from the printers on Thursday. Hopefully nothing goes wrong because i'm off to london and MCM EXPO on the friday with it!

Thanks so much for your support and reading x

Exhibitions and Stickers!

So these last few weeks i've been finishing off the last few things for my university degree. It's just the degree show now to go! Scary but i'm kind of looking forward to seeing what the next stage of life brings.
The show is next friday and we've been working to transform out studio space into a lovely clean white gallery space. It's looking pretty good!

Anyway it seems it's all been about displaying work lately. The show i mentioned previously at my favourite pub was a great night.

And then the next week i was in my local Waterstones, the Costa section, with my dad, putting up more work that's going to be up there for a month! So that's really exciting!

On another note, The Whatnot Tree goes to MCM EXPO in london on the 25th of May (so not this weekend, but next). We have a table in the trader's bit and in the artist's alley this time so that's going to be cool. 

I was hoping to have my comic, 4AM, ready and printed in time for it. But it's become apparent recently that it's not going to be which is really disappointing, but i've always said i'm not going to rush it. It will hopefully be done in time for the middle of june now. It's hit so many problems and has taken so much longer than expected. But it is still on track and i can't wait to hold a finished copy in my hands. I've worked so hard on it, i've never attempted something this big.

HOWEVER i do have stickers. Barry and Terry! And they will be on the stand in the artist alley at MCM so that's something! But if you want them now you can! Here in my esty shop.

So yeah, all in all busy, very busy, but good mainly.
Here's a nice picture i took of a tree from one of the many times i've been in the park recently :)

Hectic November

It's been such a busy month! I had loads to do and it all pretty much fell on different days so it meant i could indeed do everything...which was good....but so tiring! I now refer to my sleeping bag as 'ham' because of how it looked when i tired it all up with wool in a tight roll!

Seems i spent a great deal of it travelling! London twice, bath, leeds....

Lots of conventions i was a part of too. I makes me laugh how many times i saw the same people at them! It was funny talking to people and being oh okay, so now we're in leeds....

A very fun month though, meet lots of brilliant people and got lots of cool stuff as well as getting to sell some of my own.

First up was MCM EXPO in london, my collective...The Whatnot Tree...went. SO. MANY.MY LITTLE PONIES.

 Then i went to man my university's the Pittville Press stand at Comica's Comiket also in London the next weekend...

 Then it was time for my personal favourite with The Whatnot Tree again, Thought Bubble in Leeds!

Our table there was really good, better than i had expected to get, we had so much space! As well as wall space for our prints, which usually get buried.

Thought bubble was really fun and i got to go to a lot of interesting talks and meet up with good friends as well.

Since last time, this is a sketchblog after all, i've done quite a bit of life drawings at these various events....

And of course the rest of my time has been going on uni projects!

Thanks for reading!
