Sketch for another swap shop poster

2011-01-27T10:44:00.000-08:00

I've just got a graphics tablet...I've never used one before and it's really really really really good fun!!!

This was just a quick mess around of my friend Lizzy.

The building behind has just recently been knocked down, which is a shame, because it looked really cool...I took the photograph about a year ago.

Anyway...I've been updating my Alice Eleanor blog, and felt that my pixiealice illy blog looked completely neglected.

So here it is!!

This is my sketch for goth girl 4....Thought I'd do a younger dreaded goth!! haven't gotten around to adding colour yet.

I really like her as a pencil drawing, not sure if I want to add anything more...but if she is to go as part of the set I suppose I ought to!

I really hope Andy likes them!!!

Feedback of any kind would be appreciated LOADS.

2010-06-04T03:57:00.000-07:00

These are specifically "gothic" should be for Whitby Goth Festival website of some kind....if all goes according to plan.

Suitably gothic I hope?

Water colour, Pencil and Photoshop!!

Simple (initial) line drawing for my little project I set myself...DRAW MORE MEN!!

Seeing as I seem to have quite a few DJ friends and I like DJs I thought it would be a good place to start...

This is Jungle John, He DJ'd at my last birthday party and a good friend of mine.

2009-11-04T14:04:00.000-08:00

Playing around with watercolour and quick sketches.

2009-11-04T11:31:00.000-08:00

Self explanatory I hope?

2009-10-09T09:00:00.000-07:00

Self explanatory!!

This is my Favourite out of the 3 versions of the coco to sew image.

2009-05-12T15:24:00.000-07:00

2009-05-06T20:47:00.000-07:00

hmmm, not so sure about this one. Can't decide what it needs, or doesn't need? is the sewing machine a bit rubbish?!?! Ah well its nearly 5am, its gonna do for tonight, I'll take another look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes! I hope Coco Boo like these illustrations! :-)

2009-05-06T17:16:00.000-07:00

Image 2 For COCO BOO, Little V, I hope you like these!!! :-)

2009-05-05T16:52:00.000-07:00

just a doodle.

A sketch for a leaving card for the girl in the picture Zee what a legend. I only worked with her for a few months and now she's off travelling the world!! I drew a sketch for her on her last day with "I love hippo's" because apparently she does!!

We've got to act fast and start getting some wild flower meadows back on our planet, they provide the perfect home to our honeybees which are declining with rapid speed. We rely on 35% our food that has been pollinated by bees. With the use of pesticides effecting the bee population it means that within 10years our bees will be extinct. I love honey I love flowers, I'm sure I'm not the only person! We have to shape up!

2009-02-13T06:15:00.000-08:00

Save the bees!

2009-02-09T04:57:00.000-08:00

Where have all the honey bees gone?? Lets get planting some wildflowers that they love, everybody loves honey bees and honey!

2009-02-09T04:45:00.000-08:00

Poppies I love poppies. I was trying out my Paperchase inks. I think they're not bad.

2009-02-05T13:30:00.000-08:00

Here are some of my favourite photo's that I've taken on my lovely little Ricoh. I love the flowers!! Flower Power!!

2009-01-27T12:13:00.000-08:00

Aqua Graduation. Perhaps a degree in marine biology?

2009-01-27T11:45:00.000-08:00

Twin boys? newborns? Borthers. babies.

2009-01-27T10:43:00.000-08:00

muted less going on?

2009-01-27T10:38:00.000-08:00

Playing around with hue's, layers and textures.

2009-01-26T08:36:00.000-08:00

A different hue...I think I prefer this.

2009-01-26T08:28:00.000-08:00

A quick sketch and application of colour on photoshop. happy birthday hide&seek?

2009-01-26T06:05:00.000-08:00

Edited & reworked. With regards to Typography I'm going to wait until I have met with Mr.Bowden again before I go ahead with any text. These in essence are designed for him. I have to have a meeting to discuss further developments shortly. Personally I prefer this design to the previous graduation one as it says more about the world being your oyster...or that was the impression I was hoping to give anyway...do ya get me? haha! apologies for use of terrible language! x

2009-01-17T11:33:00.000-08:00

Here is Emma in the dress I customised for her. Not bad! Personally I would have had a different background perhaps with a collinder on her head holding some ducks!! with stripey tights! or maybe even tartan tights!! I dunno.

2009-01-14T09:08:00.000-08:00

Graduation card anybody? Ooooh!! just a play around!!

2009-01-13T12:23:00.000-08:00

This is the First attempt in the series of greetings cards I'm currently planning out the designs for, this is my first go at a wedding card!! Not too sure. Hmmm I kept low on the colours...let me have some feedback please! I'm not quite sure where I'm supposed to be heading.

2008-12-04T07:26:00.000-08:00

And here are some badges.

2008-12-04T07:20:00.000-08:00

Here is a little UV necklace I've handmade from felt, I've just been playing around with shapes & colours...the theme evidently is UV!! Hopefully I shall be selling them at a little stall at bangor UNI with my lovely creative friends Cath & Nancy! we shall see how that goes & then perhaps onto etsy or ebay or something!! we shall see...

2008-11-19T12:50:00.000-08:00

OK, so this is specifically for the purpose of trying "limited colours" even though I'm a colour whore!! This one's for you kitty, let me know what you think?? I quite like it, although I love the clashing colours!! But perhaps sometimes, enough is enough!

2008-11-19T09:31:00.000-08:00

Psychadellic Elaine. I've just been having a play today with Photoshop with some images I had already had. Its been good fun. I wish I had my arty friends around me to give me there advice!! Everyone here just says banal and unhelpful things or "yeh that's pretty good" etc. etc. HELP ME!!

2008-11-18T11:37:00.000-08:00

Look I'm learning to Knit!! How exciting, although I'm not quite sure how to cast off!! I'll keep you updated!

2008-11-18T11:22:00.000-08:00

Righto, check this out!! Wooo! Basically they're illustrations I have modified and played around with and then printed off and sewn onto a handbag for the girl in the Illustration Ilona, another good friend of mine, this is pretty much the prototype, so she got a freebie (I mean it is her in on the bag, so its sort of fair enough really!! hehe!) I hope you think its cool?? I'm going to do some more however my sewing machine is playing silly buggers...I don't seem to have much luck with sewing machines if I'm honest. I beat them up a bit!! So as soon as I get my machine up and running again its hand-bag central, also I've decided to design and create a dress/range of accesories for my very stylish friends, along with a little zine, depicting them as the amazing icons of cool that they are!! Kitty watch out, coz you're one of them! Plus I plan to do many more...I just need a kick up the bum sometimes!!

2008-11-16T10:41:00.000-08:00

Emma Stockton, my lovely friend in a dress I have made & designed for her! wait for the new photo's...

I've been itching to at least have a go at something, so I thought I ought to at least have a go at re-working some of the things that I have to work from already. These are hopefully going to be printed onto some tote shopping bags... let's see what "putting things into context" could actually mean?

2008-06-03T17:09:00.000-07:00

"Evil" Dave as he perhaps wants you to see him! I chose to use ink as Dave is a comic book illustrator..hence the simplicity of colour choice in my image!

2008-06-03T16:49:00.000-07:00

Ok so There is a definite theme appearing basically I have done a series of images of people who I think have there own individual style and what I wanted to do was capture the general feel for each person as I illustrated them. The above image is William Wood a tree surgeon and also my boyfriend. I hope you love this image as much as I do!

2008-04-11T08:14:00.000-07:00

colourful carly.

2008-04-10T16:08:00.000-07:00

2008-04-09T15:11:00.000-07:00

Ok So I've having difficulty loading some of my images just at the moment...but I have some more treats on the way...I hope.

2008-04-09T13:57:00.001-07:00

Ok so little miss cara again...I don't think the likeness is too great in any of these, but you catch a good glimpse and the collage was really good fun to do!! Plus the little sketchy one in the middle! I hope Cara likes them, I shall have to wait and get some feedback!! Perhaps a bit more playing on photoshop!! Any words of encouragement, adivise? I have a lot to learn about being an illustrator and I think my journey is just at the beginning of a rediscovery....

2008-04-09T13:57:00.000-07:00

2008-04-08T15:48:00.000-07:00

Here is another little sketch I fancy neating it up a bit...again advice please?!?! x x x

2008-04-08T15:34:00.000-07:00

This is my friend Cara, its a little painting in my sketchbook also a bit of collage, advice please?!?

2008-03-12T20:34:00.000-07:00

This is InspectorMarmalade's & my little zine...keep your eye open for it. It makes a good & informative (hilarious) read. Here's a little teaser.

2008-03-12T14:51:00.000-07:00

This was For an editorial Brief for a short story at Uni. Just a bit of collage, and cropping done on the ole photoshop. Paint & collage...hmmm a theme is emerging.

2008-03-12T14:50:00.000-07:00

I'm sure you all know what this is. Collage, paint. simple.

2008-03-12T14:41:00.000-07:00

This is the same Process as before, as you can see there are no gremlin faces to distract you!!

2008-03-12T14:25:00.000-07:00

I was just playing around with sketches, collage & photoshop. I come from a fashion background and like creating images that relate to that. The inspector can't look at this image without bursting into laughter, if you look at the handbag there is an evil gremlin face...

Oh Look, I've Got A Blog...

2008-03-12T14:02:00.001-07:00

FINALLY! Give me time to get to grips and I'll have some tasty treats up in no time!
