Quick sketch drawing from an image I found online. It was supposed to just be an outline, but I found myself really enjoying filling the boats with abrupt lines and scratchy colour.

It's been a while






























The last two weeks have been about lino cutting. It was a process I was initially scared of, what if it went wrong? I had spent £2.50 on this piece of lino, what if I made it look rubbish?! After speaking to a tutor at uni who made me cut into it a bit more fiercely, I've decided I really, actually quite like it. So for the last 14 days  I have been happily hacking into lino. It smells a bit funny, and makes my hand ache but the finished result is worth it.

Today





It has been a strange 'In between' feeling week, I have had an essay to write at uni so I haven't been in the studio. Normally I tend to avoid the studio when I have a project! All I want to do is illustrate. 
I found a new setting on my camera this week too, basically it involves blinding the person or object (my camera makes a strange popping sound too) I really like the effect and I am shamed that I have been lazy and just used the automatic settings, I wanted to buy a more expensive camera aswell! 
Today has been a planning day, hopefully we will be going to Liverpool in September. I have family from the Mersey and I am excited to scan in old photos from my 'aunty Reet'. We are booking to stay in the Albert Dock premier inn, which is beautiful and has the very small Liverpool Tate next door to it (practically anyway) and loads of 'nautical stuff' shops- Excited to say the least.

Pleasant suprise

Currently reading Cold is the Grave a novel by Peter Robinson. Out of habit I always flip to the back page to see the last sentence and I found this unusual printing error


Some people might be annoyed by this but I actually really like the oddness of the placement of the pages. Also, the book has been printed really cheaply so the pages feel and smell amazing.
