Been a busy little bee!

Happy Belated New Year everyone! Can't believe 2012 has snuck up on us sooo fast! Alls been so busy in my world I've been slightly neglecting this little blog but I've found another busy little bee to make me smile!

Bumblebee, a street artist from LA who focuses on.......bees! His charming works includes great pieces like this little lady above to bee hives in phone boxes!

Happy Birthday me!! And a huge thanks to my beautiful, gorgeous girlies who made me a very lucky girl with this little gem! Alice by Eelus. Thank you ladies...Love you all so much and all my other amazing friends and family who made my birthday weekend so perfect! Fanks!!! xx 

....So this is how if feels to hit the end of my twenties (and that age I ve been dreading haha)...well it doesnt feel too different just yet...although it may be the beginning of me starting to fall into the rabbit hole....and if it is..fingers crossed that with every strange and random trouble that may come my way there are many many more weird, wonderful and totally magical moments too.....okay......here goes.....

Tattoo

As promised....here's a pic of the tat! x

I love my new tat!

Okay so I' ve finally done it! Heres the original idea for my first tattoo, just a little un but pretty all the same. This lovely little scribble is now sitting proudly on my arm...a little thicker than here but that makes it even better and the 'Love' more subtle which i like!! Photos to follow very shortly!!

Oh and yeah while i was at it decided to get a little heart behind my ear too!! Why have one when you can have two tats eh. x

Big Love on Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day my lovelies! Hope you have all been spoilt rotten and had lots of lovely valentines cards through the door this morning!!
Well here is a just a little teeny tiny hint for my Mr Right....if you want to win me over today with pretty hearts and stuff (and you still have a little bit of time) this would just about do it...just putting it out there!! .......................er its Damien Hirst's 'Big Love' incase you didnt know..and there is a diamond dust version too if you want to go that extra mile ;)  xxx

Richard Phillips

I love Richard Phillips! This is one of my fave paintings by him, but I really must get into gear and head down to see the new exhibit at the White Cube which opened last week. Anyone wanna join me??

www.whitecube.com

I want to paint on walls!

Had a great little find when out in Carnaby street and, amongst the many handouts, I stumbled upon one from Lacoste L!VE and VNA Magazine (Very Nearly Almost) all about street art! Check out my faves Eelus(above) and Inkie(below).

Saatchi Funtimes

I love the Saatchi Gallery!! Had a cheeky little trip there over the weekend for some much needed art therapy!

Richard Wilson's 20:50 (above) has been a stable Saatchi piece as the gallery has moved from location to location. A stunning piece where the viewer is invited to walk into the heart of room only to find yourself literally surrounded by the reflective plane of oil. The piece takes on a completely different feel in each of the spaces it finds itself in but retains its beauty and a strange calmness in all, the current is not my favourite space to see it but still stunning and worth a visit! (I ve just been spoilt by seeing the others I think!)  

In the current exhibition NEWSPEAK: BRITISH ART NOW PART II the piece that stuck out was the wondrous world crafted by Tessa Farmer in her piece Swarm. We are welcomed into a world of dark, scary fairies at war with the insects. These tiny skeletal sculptures are so detailed its hard not to imagine them real! Who needs Tinkerbell eh!!

Pretty little pattern!

Isnt it amazing what you can find lying around your lacie...Heres a cheeky little pattern I made recently after looking back through some personal work and illustrations I have but were never used for commercial use! Thought this one was too nice to just be hidden away so thought I'd share!

Boom!!

Love, love, love this poster design by BoomArtwork! The artist is Eric Van Den Boom and he works on illustrations and graphic design under BoomArtwork. After visiting the Bridget Riley exhibit last week i love the way the two artists use the same elements to produce such striking visual pieces!

Resist or Not to Resist Temptation?

Now...there is only 24 shopping days left till Christmas and my bank account is as usual on the wrong side of £0 but.......sitting in my emails this week was a little message from a Mr Ben Allen letting me know hes kindly selling his gorgeous prints with 15% off! It seems rude not to take him up on his kind offer...especially as I still think his print Wonderland would look lovely in my bedroom..or then again Pink Blue Heaven (above) could look nice too!!! What should I do...decisions, decisions eh!

Another nice...

Love Potion....Lucky for some. I may not have been swept off my feet at the last Love Potion but I did manage to take home something lovely! (and no before you ask it wasnt my typical choice of trouble!!)

I was oh so lucky to win this little lovely...an AP print of The Chapman Brothers "Another Nice Etching".

Needless to say I was one happy little bunny!   

HalLllLlllOOoOoO

After having a little break from blogging I thought I'd say hello and get back into it in time for the festive season..sooo "Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!"

Paintings and daydreams

Thought I'd add a couple of paintings I have done. These were painted a little while ago but still remind me of sunny dreamy days for some reason (maybe its the colours!) and as it was a lovely sunny morning I thought I'd share. Heres hoping summer is on the way eh! 

New Camden Lock Logo

I love my little Camden Town so i was so happy for our studio at Can't Dance to be involved with working on and producing the brand new logo for part of the market!
 Check it out and let me know what you think...soon to be launched across the market so I'm sure all you Camdenites will probably even end up with a few shopping bags with it on very soon!

Check it....

Its all for charity eh... heres a little preview of the new look and T-shirt designs for Get Tested a Hepatitis C charity and their campaign "Check it before you wreck it!"
This illustration is to feature on t-shirts and other things across the campaign to raise awareness and get more young people to be careful! Will keep you posted with more info about the charity but in the mean time keep your eyes out for these!
