I've finally had chance to sit down and give my website a little TLC, these things always take longer than you think!<br />
I've decided to keep it nice and simple so the work can breath and will soon be adding the screen prints and other products I've been making over at <a href="http://www.thelittlepeach.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Little Peach</a>.<br />
Plus, I decided it was only fair to let Daisy the Crazy be part of my new logo, what do you think?<br />

Hope you all have something nice and cosy planned for this rainy Saturday (or perhaps you don't live under the soggy rock that is England and actually have some seasons that are warm!)The Little Peachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227068130416605038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963545485626290878.post-85174800369247495582012-06-08T09:39:00.001+01:002012-06-08T09:39:32.928+01:00Helping share the loveAs I've shown you here before, as part of my other job of working in a school, I often get asked to produce class reference sheets. Now, I'm not sure about you but a lot of the work sheets that flopped onto my desk at school failed to inspire me, with their word document, clip-art thrown together nature.<br />
Bad design can make dull even the most exciting topic so I decided to have a bash at getting them to actually read and take in the information the teachers are trying to express.<br />
<br />
The first one is a help guide on making a inspirational sketchbook, to try and get students to open up and try new ways of conveying their thoughts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqlUMbnSAtOUIKIuv6JdRqR7nIOKrIMhV1BeWfthrBY1KhoBZr9N8GY6LanQT2vTkEE9afQBNbaASM7OK71wI2OjfkrrhHJyzDjvDYCQN9fxgKsswxr_nYqUYyfzSROkRSLR-RypoV-o/s1600/Sketchbook+Help+both+sml.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqlUMbnSAtOUIKIuv6JdRqR7nIOKrIMhV1BeWfthrBY1KhoBZr9N8GY6LanQT2vTkEE9afQBNbaASM7OK71wI2OjfkrrhHJyzDjvDYCQN9fxgKsswxr_nYqUYyfzSROkRSLR-RypoV-o/s640/Sketchbook+Help+both+sml.jpg" width="444" /></a></div>
I like to include lots of little drawings and font styles, encouraging the students to explore the sheet and engage with the information within it.<br />
<br />

And I designed it to fold up into a little pocket sized reference guide for the students to take away and store in the front of their own sketchbooks.<br />
<br />
Next up was explaining to the students how to help their ideas flow from and original stand point...Mindmaps! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZDa4Zo6ZPzlkr6A406TaFvJofUiqd56E71PXWn0r0Hm9HBSTUmczzmVpNRUoGSh6xRNOEtTLmXD7voA7hZ7aAfym0hmUjKiRi-aEgtklqyaamfEIIuXSAX4qfGBDG3NtA9XhpV0xz9k/s1600/Mindmap+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZDa4Zo6ZPzlkr6A406TaFvJofUiqd56E71PXWn0r0Hm9HBSTUmczzmVpNRUoGSh6xRNOEtTLmXD7voA7hZ7aAfym0hmUjKiRi-aEgtklqyaamfEIIuXSAX4qfGBDG3NtA9XhpV0xz9k/s400/Mindmap+logo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />Now, it took me a good full hour researching to realise that mind maps is the new (overtly PC if you ask me) way of saying 'Brain storms' and to help the students see how ideas can generate other ideas I did a mind map on the subject of 'Holidays'<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />On the back of the worksheet I gave them a 'blank brain' to help them start there very own mind map!<br />

<br />
The students learn how to screen print using the stencil method (where you cut the image you want out of a piece of card and stick it to the screen for a temporary method of printing your image) so the inside of the guide is a step-by-step photographic reference for all you need to know.<br />

What do you think? Shouldn't school work sheets be a bit more exciting? Perhaps I should right to the people who make the textbooks?! We could start a 'Good design starts in school' revolution!<br />

some slightly precarious ladders painting a mural for new disco <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Groovy-Club/318148254894911?sk=info" target="_blank">'The Groovy Club'</a></div>

mural-painted ever actually, so simple but so affective!<br />

Running yourself as a one person draw machine is undoubtedly not a small undertaking. As well as pitching for illustration jobs and working art time in a school I have also been excitedly building a new extension of my ART MANSION, by setting up a print company - <a href="http://thelittlepeach.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Little Peach Print Company</a> to be exact!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I suddenly realised that I have not shared this news with you! Managing more than one blog can be baffling too so I thought I'd give you a round up of what I've been up to and if you so fancy to find out more you can visit <a href="http://thelittlepeachprintco.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Little Peach Blog</a> for yourself!</div>

The idea is that you can be illustrated as a couple into your very own design and hand printed in your choice of ink and card colours, meaning your invitations will be truly unique and will be a gift to your guests!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a number of pre-drawn backgrounds to choose from in <a href="http://thelittlepeach.co.uk/#/the-sweetheart-collection/4555885684" target="_blank">The Sweetheart Collection</a> or you can choose to have a completely <a href="http://thelittlepeach.co.uk/#/bespoke-designs/4557122950" target="_blank">Bespoke design</a> in a special setting of your own</div>

I've had so much fun so far designing for some special couples and being involved in bringing their ideas to life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And since I've had the wedding stationery up and running I've also been focusing my attention on developing a <a href="http://thelittlepeach.co.uk/#/shop/4557083624" target="_blank">range of illustrated prints</a> for everyone to enjoy!</div>

I have been really enjoying developing my illustrations into designs to be printed. It's a nice feeling to hand print - like I can physically stamp my idea and technique on something tangible. I'm hoping to keep on printing every week so keep looking out for new designs. I want to have a go at printing fabric and other materials too like wood; screen printing is a versatile medium!</div>

I have even invented a new use for Mr Slinky!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully soon I will have my very own exposure machine (and drying rack!) so that the printing will be even more prolific!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can buy the prints through <a href="http://thelittlepeach.co.uk/#/shop/4557083624" target="_blank">The Little Peach Shop</a>, <a href="http://folksy.com/shops/thelittlepeach" target="_blank">Folksy</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LittlePeachPrintCo" target="_blank">Etsy</a> and I will also be looking to sell through exciting markets and regional shops - I'll keep you posted :)</div>

The comic was to introduce a younger audience to some of the 'heroes' of medical research. The illustration above is of Sir Almroth Edward Wright, trying to convince some volunteers to test out his typhoid vaccine.

I have been making some poster to display around the classrooms at the School I work in, to try an encourage the students to take pride in keeping the place tidy. Let's see if it works!...<br />

Towards the end of last year I had the pleasure to work with the folk behind an awesome one day festival called <a href="http://www.lawnfest.co.uk/home/">'Lawnfest',</a><br />
Lawnfest is a music and arts festival that helps raise funds for West Heath - a school in Sevenoaks that supports traumatised children.<br />
<br />
The brief was really up my street, with lots of little groups of people up to different things, representing some of the fun things you might experience at the festival.<br />

6 Months ago a little dude came into my life unlike no other. His name
is Bert and I like to pretend (when I can) to be his Ernie.</div>

So, to commemorate the awesomeness that has been his arrival into our lives I decided to make him something equally as special.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was a nipper someone (possibly my mum, but I can't remember because...well because I was a mini) got me a plate with all the details of when, where, (how?!) and who I am/was when I was born. I used to be pretty fascinated with it as it hung on the wall of my Laura Ashley wallpapered room, especially the idea that our house was once a toadstool. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, I decided to make the little man one of his own to hopefully stare at on his nursery wall, and thought the Circus would be a good starting place (also perhaps because his Momma has a bit of a like for it!)</div>

So here it is, a plate of his very own! (see he was nearly as big as I was!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the strongman is my favourite (always is) and after a few trials getting it just the right temperature in the oven I think it looks quite super on the plate. </div>

Think I might work on some more designs for baby arrivals, perhaps even on some re purposed vintage crockery, it might be quite nice to work with the patterns. Any suggestions for designs you might like are welcome and do get in contact if you'd like one for your special little new friend!</div>

I offered to draw portraits for friends for their onwards Christmas presents this year, and as it is now after Christmas, and Santa/Sally has (hopefully) been for everyone, I can now share some of the images I drew!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is one for my most lovely friend Anne, for her (also lovely) brother Stefan. I visited Anne's native city of Dresden a few years back and met Stefan and we had some fun in one of the famous original B&W photobooths. The drawing is my version of this delight, do you like the faces? I had lots of fun drawing!</div>

<br />
It's a really interesting read about how high food prices are becoming an unfortunate norm, and what we can do to become a more educated consumer. And I have to say, after just this week eating my very first home-grown courgette, it has made me a bit more conscious of how hard feeding the planet must be.<br />

<br />
Since my induction to the <a href="http://www.leicesterprintworkshop.com/">Leicester Print Workshop</a> I have been really eager to develop more images to be produced with screen printing. So when my oldest poppet from back home got engaged to her wonderful man I offered to make their wedding invitations for them as my gift, and what a exciting time I had making them! Having a real project to get my teeth into has definitely spurred on my enthusiasm for the technique and the process of printing. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZn76ehS2nNc653TdWWg9b0TbtSb7nNiRyLrw7EheeTHlj3NVoZDoj3oQed_4bP30I19sgVMrBa8xoyc7eJDskQNvDa5YL97bnz339io-xaplFNoEXjfIEqs1anZ2PVwUOz3PH_kLQ0M/s1600/KellyAnn%2526Dan_09.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZn76ehS2nNc653TdWWg9b0TbtSb7nNiRyLrw7EheeTHlj3NVoZDoj3oQed_4bP30I19sgVMrBa8xoyc7eJDskQNvDa5YL97bnz339io-xaplFNoEXjfIEqs1anZ2PVwUOz3PH_kLQ0M/s640/KellyAnn%2526Dan_09.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Kelly-Ann and Dan were a magical couple to design for as they were so open and trusting with whatever I wanted to come up with. They gave me an overview of some of the ideas and themes that will make their big day, and a colour scheme to choose from. They have a soft spot for our feathery head spinning friends, so I based the image around a couple of love owls, stood between the gates that they will exit from as man and wife.<br />
I went for a combination of bright pink and dusty blue, highlighted with a medium grey for the sharper details.<br />
It was a new way of working for me - to remove the black lines that I so frequently use and create an image simply through textures and blocks of colour. I really enjoyed thinking of the process I would be using during the design process, and exploring new ways of describing a setting.<br />
<br />

On the reverse of the invitation we had 2 sets of information to print - one for the day guests and one for the night; so I printed them in the two different colours. The information is formed from a mix of 2 fonts and there are some little illustrations within the layout.<br />

And to finish off the bundle I made some badges from the illustrations from within the invites along with some complimentary fabric, for the guests to wear if they should so wish!<br />
<br />
Working on these invites has been really wonderful and has sparked a bit of a passion for helping betrothed couples capture the fun of their day. I'm planning to develop a range of lovingly hand printed designs that will be customisable and offer a range of package options.<br />
I even see it developing into other life events, such as baby announcements and correspondence cards so do contact me if you know anyone who you think would love the service, or if you have an occasion yourself!The Little Peachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227068130416605038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963545485626290878.post-5604544618423919172011-06-07T21:12:00.000+01:002011-06-07T21:12:04.856+01:00Inky Fingers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiYXVOY9UESFPdTMJreG27vjhHDshsW-62lF5cN3R3zsCKOQdF9OY5DukbrehMDkfJZG9Lh_oTqovLD9XatvC6vsMxTcimmnOW368tEuxU9LAfBkj4GQZ_IqJA0YYe_nSvKdIFbT0J5T8/s1600/HelterSkelter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiYXVOY9UESFPdTMJreG27vjhHDshsW-62lF5cN3R3zsCKOQdF9OY5DukbrehMDkfJZG9Lh_oTqovLD9XatvC6vsMxTcimmnOW368tEuxU9LAfBkj4GQZ_IqJA0YYe_nSvKdIFbT0J5T8/s400/HelterSkelter.jpg" width="282" /></a></div><br />
A couple of months ago I decided it was about time to go back to school and pick up a process I last tried at college, some 10 years ago (yikes) Screen printing.<br />
When I moved to Northamptonshire at the start of the year I was lucky enough to come across a lovely little place called <a href="http://www.leicesterprintworkshop.com/">Leicester Print Workshop</a> a mere half an hour drive down the A6, and decided to sign up to their 'Introduction to Screen Printing' course held over a weekend and ran by the lovely <a href="http://www.leicesterprintworkshop.com/members/gemma_wright/">Gemma Wright. </a><br />
<br />
I remembered quite a bit about how to screen print but thought it was a good idea to have a proper recap and save myself making silly mistakes, so along I went with a few black and white images to see what I could produce, one of which you can see above. It's a reworking of a drawing I first used in a mural, but one I thought deserved a bit more love.<br />
<br />
<br />

Gemma gave some helpful advice and suggestions about how you can add hand-drawn textures to your prints so I experimented by adding a background evening sky, made by painting on acrylic onto acetate and scratching it off with some sandpaper.<br />
<br />
Getting printing again was lots of messy fun, and reminded me how much I loved it, even if you do get sore fingers and a bad back! You have to be super quick when you're printing and have lots of space to lay your prints out for them to dry, I stacked them anywhere I could.<br />

I tried a few different colours for the back ground sky but reverted back to the clean black and white image, which I think works best.<br />

The other image I printed that day was a new one I made special. Look, it's some kids on a merry-go-round! I really like this image and hope to use it again one day for something, it looks brills as a print but I think I'm going to use it with multiple colours next time.<br />

Working through all the images I have ever created took some time I tell thee, but it was a welcome task as I got to revisit some old drawings I'd almost forgotten about. My agents were particularly interested in seeing digital versions of the doodles I created from the murals I've done, but as I mainly work in a brain-to pen-to wall fashion, there was a need to recreate these images on paper.<br />
<br />
The above image was originally etched onto the entrance hall of <a href="http://bungalowsandbears.com/">Bungalows and Bears</a>, a jauntly Northern establishment in Sheffield established by the ever talented and expending <a href="http://580limited.tumblr.com/">580 limited</a>.<br />

The original mural depicted the now-demolished <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sheffield+cooling+towers&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=647">Sheffield cooling towers</a>, with local superstars The Arctic Monkeys on top of one, and *my school girl crush* Pulp on the other.<br />
<br />
I remember on this job having to hunt down an internet cafe to google image pictures of the towers and the bands for reference. God, how much do I love having an iphone now.<br />

The second reworked image was originally from the first in the pub mural series I did at <a href="http://startthebus.tv/">Start the Bus</a>, Bristol (another <a href="http://580limited.tumblr.com/">580</a> wonder)<br />

I remember being absolutely terrified to start to draw on this mural, probably due to be only being told the brief on the train to Bristol that morning. Also having a whole room full of people waiting to see what I was drawing was a bit unnerving. It was the first of what I've now come to know as 'Rolf Harris Syndrome' People are perplexed into silence by watching you draw and trying to work out what it's going to be. It's something I thrive off now; there is no fannying around when there's a mural to do.The Little Peachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16227068130416605038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963545485626290878.post-85557752517078797092011-05-27T11:52:00.000+01:002011-05-27T11:52:14.942+01:00Representin'Hello magical blog reader!<br />

So, here we are, another year is already pinging it's months away like a frantic game of pong. And here I am, hanging my head in shame at my lack of updates to this blog. Naughty me.<br />
<br />
But, but, but - I have been up to things y'know! Things which I intend to blab on about in some update posts over the next few days/weeks.<br />
<br />
I have also made a decision to try and post more about everything on here. Work stuff, cool things I come across, home stuff, cat things (I have cats now). I think sometimes I get a bit worried about crossing over work/my art posts with things I find inspirational - like I should keep them separate. But I have realised that having 5 billion different online presences to update only serves to confuzzle my head and, ultimately, prevent me from posting in the first place.<br />
<br />
Enough already!<br />
<br />
The first and pretty much most exciting thing to happen in my creative world is - I am now a represented Illustrator. Woooop indeed!<br />

I met with the wonderful people at <a href="http://www.newdivision.com/home.asp">New Division</a> a couple of months back, and after some portfolio slap and tickles have just gone live on their website. You can see my online portfolio <a href="http://www.newdivision.com/artist.asp?artist=110">HERE</a>. They have also done a feature on me as part of their own <a href="http://www.newdivision.com/blog/index.php">blog</a>. Nice.<br />
<br />
New Division is the sister agency of <a href="http://www.meiklejohn.co.uk/home.asp">Meiklejohn</a>, an agency formed in 1973 (a whole decade before I was born!) and represents some of the best contemporary illustrators around (cripes I have some talented agency friends)<br />
<br />

<br />
Since joining the agency I have had some wonderfully helpful advice on getting my portfolio client-ready, and have both reworked some images and created some fresh drawings. It's been a really nice time to stop and take stock of the work I've produced so far and feel confident that I have a solid body of work to enter the world of commercial illustration. It's also nice to know that I've now got the knowledge and advice of a well established agent behind me, something that can only be helpful with the inevitably scary business side of a creative career.<br />
