DIY Couture

I’m very excited. I’m going to make a cloak! Sort of Red Riding Hood / Scottish Widows ad. I haven’t used a pattern to sew and make clothes from before, and I think that’s half my problem. Things I’ve made are usually a bit spontaneous, make-shift and shoddy. But I found this pattern book by DIY Couture a few weeks ago when I went to a small press fair in Euston. There were loads of stalls of fun illustrated zines and hand drawn comic books, the sort of place really where me and Matt should be exhibiting our wares, maybe so in the future! However it was this unexpected fashion stall, with booklets guiding you on how to make your own clothes, that won me over to make my one purchase of the day!
Should I be posting about this? ‘cos maybe you will all decide to make one too! But I think there is enough variation in the design and the choice of fabric used, which could make them all look really different. I haven’t decided on my main fabric yet, for this I’m gonna take a trip to Dalston Mill Fabrics. But I think for the lining I’m going to use a bright pink sari I picked up in South India, a few years ago (pictured below fashioned into a still unfinished slip-dress from last year!)
So I haven’t started my cloak yet, but keep a look out!

Limited Edition Screen Printed Book
22/04/09 06:04
The last month or so has been a hard slog. For some mad reason I decided to hand screen print a book. A selected collection of my bus drawings. With it being themed around my journeys on the 43 bus, I thought I should make 50 copies, just to round things up.
The first few pages printed off in their multiple copies was quite enjoyable - I can really say that I have the hang of screen printing now! Currently with my two small screens, I have had to re-coat for each different page, hence this process has seemed like forever.
But finally I can see light at the end of the tunnel, I have two more inside pages to print and the cover is half done! I don’t yet know exactly how many copies I will have, as there have been a few slip ups here and there. The next fun part will come with the folding of 300 pieces of A4 into A5, and then the binding...
Please email me if you want to reserve a copy, once they are gone, thats it! I won’t be printing this again!!

Haircut
11/08/08 23:02
I've been putting this off for months, going to the hairdressers is like torture for me, but if I'm looking for work maybe its best not to cut it myself this time.
hairdressers looking pretty but bored.
There was a young girl, maybe 5 or 6, waiting to get her hair done. She looked really sad.
hairdressers doing their fancy flicks and moves.
me in despair.

Move Me

Basically what you need to know here is that i won a competition to have my artwork made as a poster to be displayed on the London Underground!! From 25th Feb - 10th March, go to the end of the south bound platform on the Victoria line at Highbury & Islington Station, and you will see my work! The drawing above was previewed at Rainbird Fine Art, as part of the exhibition organized by Islington Council. However Transport For London rejected this piece at being “a negative view of of their transport system” so they asked me for other work, i sent 3 images for them to choose from and all were put up - yeay for me!

Shift. 2004. Pen, pencil & mascara on paper.
These drawings were executed whilst i was a gallery assistant at Modern Art Oxford. A shift from the duty of work, and the study of gallery visitors, reveals my underlying emotion at that time.
