Zara When She Rubbed Her Eyes

Here is a preview of the cover of one of two book commissions I have just finished.

Both of them were really fun to do (as well as challenging at times) and I'm pretty pleased with the results of both.

I thought the first story was going to be my favourite because the subject matter of the second book (cover above) involved a lot of creatures (which is not my forté) where the first was more in my comfort zone. However, I think it's because of having to work so hard on the second one and having things work out really positively that I've begun to appreciate what the second book put me through and it became my favourite for that reason.

drawn textures

I think it looks a bit like a (strange?) band poster, but it's some 'research' for some work that I would like to do in the near future.

CLICzine

CLICzine issue #5 is out and I did the cover for it! YAY!

And because CLICzine is a Welsh publication, you flip it over and it's in Welsh too!

Here's a little peek from a fun commission I'm working on :)

Also(!) the surprise I was talking about in previous posts is slowly coming together. Here is a preview:

Holga, baby

I don't remember if I ever mentioned it, but I got a Holga 135 camera a while back.

Pouffy Pleaty Project

I just finished making this bag today!

 I used Lisa Lam's For Pleats Sake pattern for the most part, but obviously liberties were taken (particularly in the straps department...). I kind of wish I could keep it - my first bag of its kind. Alas, it is not for me.

It was challenging in parts, but overall, super fun! I think I enjoy a good sewing challenge anyhow. And it feels so good when it all comes together.

It took me three go's to get the pearl prong snap done without a set of snap pliers. (Instead I used a thread spool and a hammer! haha!) Well worth the trouble, I think!

strongman contemplates what he means

I always find it weird when there's loads to do, but also very little to do all at the same time.

I just hope for great things to come from such anxious uncertainties.

waiting is the worst

I've been so preoccupied worrying about all sorts of things that all I've done recently have been frustration-filled scribbles. It's a weird kinda self-loathing-inducing catharsis. I don't try to figure it out.

And I need draw men more often...
