June is Here!

So the month of june is here. Its the month where i want to get my comic, 4AM finished and printed...maybe. Which is scary since a few weeks ago i did a revised version of the pages left to do and a proper count up of the book and it came to exactly 100 pages. Which would be neat if it wasn't so daunting! It's 50 double spreads including all the end papers and title pages. I have been saying 40 all this time!
But it's going...okay....just can't wait for it to be done. Will be such an achievement!





Anyway, last week saw the final year show at my uni. The private view was on the friday and it was a really great night! I took some pictures during the week of the illustration exhibition. I think it looks really good considering it's our first year in this space. Our tutors worked really hard to get what is actually our desk covered studio space looking like this. I painted some of the boards and helped hang some things! but yeah...
The picture on the left below is my space :)

At the moment i'm looking into printing and framing for the painting below. It's for an exhibition happening in Israel (yeah exciting!) that me, 2 other students and my tutor (who got us into it) are taking part in with the theme 'Regular'. I'll write a bit more about it next time, but this is my entry entitled 'Hidden'.

June is also the month in which at the end of it i have to be out of my uni house. I'm going to miss 71, it's been a mad adventure with some classic moments :) This is a picture of our coffee table that i had to take. The sight made me laugh a lot as i was greeted by it in the morning. I think it sums our house up quite well...

Lots of doodling of characters has taken place lately. I want to tell more stories with them.

 I also saw the new Wes Anderson film, Moonrise Kingdom on wednesday. I really enjoyed it and want to see it again! So pretty and lovely. I love his characters.

Both my laptop and external monitor have pictures i took of the sky at the moment. It makes me happy. I love clouds.

 Thanks for reading! Have a Great bank holiday weekend britain, and an equally great weekend everywhere else :)

Promotion, Wes and Hockney.

 Okay so this week i finished off some more self promotion for The London Book Fair in a weeks time.
I made a set of postcards to act as bigger and less loose-able business cards. They are all double sided with one side being an image and the other my contact information.

I made four special sets of these, that are tied with book binding string and attached to a smaller business card, for the first four i think need them a them at the book fair.

So now i have 18 Tired Eyes/3:59AM copies and these. As well as the usual normal business cards, badge sets and older postcards.


You can see them all neatly stacked up below.

 As well as self promo makes, this week has been full of other lovely things. Most notably, the Wes Anderson classic Rushmore of which i saw when i was in school but recently discovered the subtle joys of again.



I drew a little doodle of the main characters after watching it for the third time in two weeks, this time with my sister as we are home for a week of the easter break together.

Bill Murray is brilliant in it. He plays such an amusing character.

Another great thing this week was getting to finally see the David Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy in London. 

I wanted to see it ever since i heard it was going to start months ago; It looked so interesting. And that it was. I would tell anyone with an interest in the countryside and/or colour to go! (The two aspects i enjoyed the most) But alas it's over now. I managed to get to it on a crazy impulsive at 1 on a wednesday afternoon with an to attempt to drive to london with my housemate on the 2nd to last day.

A two hour drive to a one hour lost drive round Uxbridge/Hayes, then eventually into a two hour que, we got in. It was worth it. Amazing! TREES ARE PINK. They really are. 

  

                                     I am off to run through a wood now.

The flyer pictured is for a exhibition i am taking part in early next month. More on that soon!

Have an excellant week :)
