I’m a bad blogger

Ok so its been AGES since I updated anything, not that anyone reads this I imagine, but if you do thank you :)

So I’ve had a lot going on recently, what with uni work, personal work, having a life (sort of) and fallling down the stairs twice (yes, twice) and injuring myself pretty badly. So with zero mobility, I’ve started getting to know my bed pretty well, too well in fact. 

Anyway, point being that I will start to update my blog more once I can move and I get time after catching up on EVERYTHING I missed :( 

Note to self: Fall over less, do more work

Moleskine time!

Just ordered 2 beautiful books, one squared for typography and one plain sketchbook for daily doodles, collages, etc.

Will post up the pages I think are interesting and explain why. It’ll be like a picture journal and help me to develope my illustration style. I want to be able to create interesting patterns and lettering and mix in some photography to see if that works. I feel like with out experimentation I’ll never more forward. I may be a little late into my experimental phase but better late than never right? (It’s not like i really have a choice so…) 

I also have decided to go ahead and do some typographic projects. If I have planned my time (of which I have very little) well enough then I should be able to post these pages fortnightly, with a lovely description of what I was hoping to achieve and I managed to actually achieve it. 

Sounds so exciting. Hopefully will be more exciting that it sounds, for those of you who read my blog, I’m guessing there are very few people that bother but thank you for reading my random thoughts and posts. I appreciate it more than I can say. 

Show me your Moleskine and I’ll show you mine

Who wants to be me an A4 Moleskine Sketchbook? I want pretty plain pages so that I can destroy them with my pen and glue and make pretty decorated pages. 

I have decided to keep a personal sketchbook to fill with drawings and letter forms. I think it’ll be a good way to “find my look” as I was told I needed to do, as I haven’t got one apparently. It will at least help me to stop making stupid mistakes when working as I have decided to use only ink. Not one pencil will touch this pretty paper (I don’t know why I keep using this word, it makes me sound about 5). 

I’ve started using an old sketchbook I had for a styling course I did at CSM. I tore out the useless pages and re drew the front so it looked bearable. For now this is my “recycled sketchbook” for practice and ideas and sketches. Until I have my beau Moleskine. 

Heres a page about my geometric obsession with triangles. Don’t ask why because I don’t really know how to explain it. I just love them 

Anyway, I need to get on with work for uni whilst dying in bed. 

Goodbye for now.

The highlight of my day…

Finding a new unused Pritt-Stick in my room. Have I hit bottom yet?
