Another Designers Marketplace is fast approaching guys. This time being the biggest yet with over 40 stalls selling a diverse collection of high quality, bespoke and contemporary art, ceramics, fashion, textiles, accessories, photography, graphics, illustrations and interior products. So thats a a room full of arty folks and most likely (hopefully) early christmas cakes and all that malarky, sounds good to me.
Details of the event are provided above or you can visit their facebook page for further details.






So many things have been started and not finished so its not a surprise that I randomly wanted to illustrate guns and sneakers, hence the title “Guns don’t kill people, sneakers do”. I must get round to finishing the other projects started in the last couple of months, but I find myself illustrating the most unrelated objects to my concepts that I set myself. I’ve gone from dollar bills to guns & sneakers… do these objects have any relation? probably not but I’ve enjoyed illustrating them and that’s all the matters right? In fact I’ll probably just end up blending them all into one concept. Colouring in book for children I’m thinking or even graphics for children’s wear.

For some reason the colours of the design when uploaded seem to differ a little bit so I’ll get back onto that tomorrow, but now I think its time for carrot cake and a fresh brew yuuuuuuuup!
And so hunting for a spare sketchbook after thinking about the whole drawing stuff I came across this little illustration I was given. It’s actually a Christmas card that I received when I was staying in London back in December 06 (god how time flies) whilst working for a textile studio. I loved it at the time, still do but just didn’t know where the hell I had put it but it ended up being in the back of an old wallet.
Back with another post and yet nothing to report apart from actually making it to the last day of Yoko Ono’s exhibition at the Baltic Museum. Although I wanted to see it so bad & not been able to get tickets to her lecture she gave to the public It wasn’t really what I was expecting from her; although some bits good and some bits bad I got round the installations rather quickly. There was one bit I did like BUT that was mainly thanks to the public who were able to write small notes about their mums and taping them to the wall. My favourite notes being “My mum has Rosy red cheeks like a slapped arse” & ” My mammy is not open minded to Yoko’s art”…Maybe it was to someone else’s taste.
