look at all these yummy chairs I want....

weeeee  x

I've got an IPHONE!!! I never get

excited about technology, but it's

AMAZING!!

Love love love love love xxx

Just got back from France, from a weekend away for my cousins wedding....Beautiful wedding, amazing venue, Great weekend, but MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN I fricking hate airports....!!

Got to gatwick, QUEUED for about 30 mins to check in, queued for another 30 mins to get through security checks, and that's when my trouble began....

Everyone else's bags got scanned fine.... Mine went through.....

One man looks puzzled towards the computer screen....calls his colleague...

Two men look at the screen with increasing alarm....

Three men look at the screen panicked faces

Four men look at the screen....

Five men look at the screen

'WHO'S BAG IS THIS PLEASE'! ......gulp....mine.....

At this point I had NO IDEA what they'd found, but was SURE I hadn't packed any sharp objects or anything....

And this point the man went through my bag with a fine tooth comb, patting everything, wiping everything, with an alarmed look on his face. Finally we got to my set of keys....

'oh!!'

basically when I was working for the record label I got given these 2 USB keys, great tactile objects, Very useful...oh and  shaped like bullets....oops!!
We then had a MASSIVE palarva where they told me they'd have to take them away, which I wasn't having as majority of my artwork is stored on those keys......ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH They then proceeded to take the lids. (Making the keys fairly useless at being protected from dirt, and rather ugly looking). No matter how much I pleaded to post them home, take them back out the airport, ....etc they were having none of it!! ARGH ARGH ARGH.

Now I do understand I can't carry ''bullets'' on the plane, but they was no common sense. Surely once they'd realised what they were, and established I'm not carrying bullets they'd let me on my way....? My bag was then proceeded to be wiped down for 'any traces of gunpowder' !?!?!??

Madness madness madness....

Anyway, new prints available in the shop....quite a funny design....take a peak, got to rush, but write more soon... xxx

Just back from a friends hen do in London baby. What fun!!! My first hen do.....first of my friends to start getting married....eek!!

Ordered some personalised love hearts that I think are really sweet!! (no pun intended) ....yum yum yum 

Looking into getting a stall in East London Sunday market at the moment to sell my t-shirts and art bits...!! Watch this space....should be fun...

Can't believe how fast summer's gone. It's mad. Feels like winters coming....

ARGH on an annoying point I got woken up at the CRACK OF DAWN by a neighbour mowing down all her trees in her garden... 'NERRRRRRRR NERRR NERRR NEERRRRRR NEERRRRRRRRR' ARGHHHH SO ANNOYING......So concequently I've been up since early morning working hard....probs not such a bad thing...

I feel a bit scatty this morning, as you can probably tell by my bitty post. It's that bloody chainsaw in my ear. I can't concentrate or think straight....

Anyway write soon xxx

Wowee. haven't written for ages....Sorry!!

Spent a rainy wet week in Devon with a friend, (not quite my vision of learning to surf in the baking sun!!) Lots of walks, cycle rides (on a tandem baby!!) eating, cooking....just chilling out really. Twas lovely. So now I'm back in the swing of things with a hundred and one million things I should be doing....

Ascott is AMAZING. Some of the houses we drove past are absolutely MASSIVE! crazy. Gig went pretty good, had lots of people up and dancing....Then sunday I was an absolutely lazy bum and watched films with the boyo all day. Very nice very nice (Oh and we had a sneaky little bbq in the afternoon.)

As always it's AGES since I last blogged....

Think I wrote about a dress I was designing....Well it was for Stunt (sings 'Raindrops' a wicked dance song...)

She was going on the Dance Nation Tour, and wore my dress...yippee....

Here's a little sneak preview of it, though I'll get some better press shots asap ~ (on the right.....)

Arghhhhhhhhhhh I have just written a MASSIVE blog and my computer crashed and lost it!! Eeeeeek!

It's the 19th March and we've had HOT sun for 4 days!!! I LOVE THE SUN!!!

Have been working on an awesome commission today in the garden...will reveal more soon.....

Short but sweet I'm afraid.... xx

I am currently really enjoying a) watercolours and b) watercolour paper! yum yum yum....I've been creating some mixed media pictures with watercolours and pencils......like so....

I think they look cool....pleased with them. Both of these are of two close girlfriends....

If anyone wants one of these let me know!

So YES I'm in love with watercolour shiz...but NO I'm not in love with the price of the watercolour paper. A book of 12 sheets for £9?!?!?!? What? Yes I realise I sound like an old fogey but seriously! Woah rinsing me!

Busy week....Gig on monday night in Shoreditch house - was ok, but shit sound - couldn't hear myself at all....Gig tuesday night - was a covers gig - haven't done one of those for a while. Was a little cheesy but really humbling - it was for the families and friends of a group of soldiers who are going to Afghanistan in a month, pretty good fun in the end. 

Then tonight I went out for a friends birthday. I used to work with her at the record label. Was really nice to see a few old faces......Lots of art commissions to work on tomorrow plus serious rehearsing......eeee!!

xxxx 

So yesterday I did these new sketches....Check em out....

and....FINALLY.....

All self portraits of myself....Trying out new styles mixing typical portrait drawing (charcoal/pencils) with crazyness....watercolours, doodles...etc....etc!

Apart from new art I've been busy...Lots of rehearsing practicing my fit keyboard, Had a gig saturday night with the band I sing in....etc..etc.

I've got an eye test this afternoon - Think I'm going blind....Seriously my eyes are deteriorating since spending tooooo much time on this thing....Need to find some glasses that suit me but I'm a wee bit glasses-o-phobic...Will let you know if I find anything amazing....yeeha.

Eating haribo.

xx

Hello hello hello!

Quick post as I'm super sleepy....Busy few days!

Yesterday spent the LONGEST time EVER shopping in the new Westfields centre in White City....It's amazing but I almost killed myself shopping...Was there for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours with a friend trying to buy a pair of black jeans...Literally 6 hours to buy A PAIR OF BLACK JEANS! ARGHEEEEEEEE...I'm normally a good shopper but I was withering into a heap by the end...

Then had a rehearsal last night....As some of you know I'm playing keys for this guy called Rhys Morgan (www.myspace.com/rhysmorganmusic) It's super duper fun and we have such a laugh...In the live set up at the moment it's me, Rhys and my good mate Charlie on guitar...Anyhoo today we had a gig during the day....So this morning we got up uber early (after staying up a little too late to watch Leon last night - Great film) and we went to Shephards bush studios to rehearse....

We had a YUMMY breakfast from this shop called Aroma, which does the YUMMIEST jacket potatoes in the world....then we rehearsed, before doing a gig....Went pretty well I think, so we all went to the pub to celebrate. Yeha

- - - - i had a couple of these....

I'm having GREAT fun on my new keyboard at the moment...love it love it love it

After a few drinks we went to get noodles this evening and I had the MOST DISGUSTING meal of my life. It was this noodle dish with prawns all bound together by this gooey sauce that looked and had the same consistency as raw egg white - all lumpy. Truly the most horrendous meal of my life......BOOO!!! Can't remember what it was called but it was some noodle bar in Shephards bush...YUCK! AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!

Despite being almost poisoned by the minging noodles I had a fun day....

Spent a while being a geek this morning you-tubing TV programmes I used to watch...

Anyone remember....

- Charlie Chalk

- Penny Crayon

- T Bag

- Simon and The Witch

- Rude Dog and the Dweebs

- The Racoons.....

etc....etc... ho ho ho

Anyhoo off to have a bath and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.....

Will post some more art bits up pronto...

P.S Am in love with these... FIT SHOES

x

I have bought THE MOST AMAZING keyboard in the world.....

I am in LOVE!!!

So I signed up with Twitter today...First impressions I don't get it, but guaranteed give it a month and I'll be addicted....

I have just eated a cheese and pickle on toast. It was LUSH. I melted the cheese in the microwave as I thought this would be a good idea, but it went a bit SKANKY and all the fat floated to the top....Grot. Tasted nice though!Did have a small intention this morning to start trying to eat healthier, but BOO - will start tomorrow.....

Anyhoo off to start some designs for this CD cover artwork....The title is 'Simplicity' so I'm trying to work with this and not over-complicate things, like I usually manage to do....

Doodle doodle doo..... xx

I haven't blogged for over a SO LONG! And so much has happened since I last blogged...

Quick run down of a couple of bits I can remember...

- I left my job at Columbia records and I'm now self employed! Yehaa

- Doing lots of arty music bits - which I love!!

- An amaaaaaaaaazing holiday to barbados

hmmmmmmmmmm...God it's hard remembering what I've been up to...lots of other good bits...lots of going out and working and playing hard!

I have recently read Q+A by Vikas Swarup (which is the inspiration for Slumdog millionaire) - It's such a great book...really enjoyed it. Want to see the film too, but dubious if it's as good as the book...



Am currently eating chocolate digestives with a cup of tea...Yum.

Working on a wicked painting at the moment. It's a MASSIVE canvas (which I always love) and it's a wierd self portrait of me sleeping....Will post a pic when it's finished...

Other than that on the art front I'm obsessed with doing lots of doodle portraits at the moment (like this!) If anyone wants one let me know....

 

Am also rather obsessed with 50's burlesque stylee art. Bought the most amazing book the other day called '1000 Pin-up Girls' with, you guessed it a thousand WICKED pictures....Going to try do a bit of artwork involved with this perhaps...



Anyway keep checking back...Yo!

xx

I am currently obsessed with THIS....

It is BRILLIANT!

They are such skilled artists....

I always said I didn't want a tattoo, but this show is starting to change my mind...hmmm....

Might get designing....

xx

Hello! Am still alive, just busy with work, gigging, drawing, going out and the usual shiz....Will update again soon, so keep checking up!!! xx

It's Sunny! Wahoooooooooooo!!

It's always hard going back to work on a Tuesday after a bank holiday, but it's made much better when it's sunny outside! Have just spent an amazing outside in the park starting the summer tanning!! Hope everyone had a great bank holiday weekend and enjoyed the sun. I had two gigs -on the saturday and sunday night, which was cool....then bbq-ing tomorrow!! Hoooooooooray!!

Haven't done much doodling this weekend, so need to do some more this week....Will post more pics when I've got some more!

I've added some items to the shop - more soon to be added.

First the 'doodle portrait'.........(Picture example of me here!!!).....I'll doodle a picture of you or friends...etc........

Secondly the postcards.....They're a bargain! and they're wicked!!! Contact me if you want any more information!

Hope everyone's well, and you're all enjoying the sun!!
