Harry Potter got HOT!

OK I HAVE DEVELOPED A CRUSH ON HP...Ahem...Seriously, its only just developed because of the last film! I went to see it TWICE last Friday, yes thats right TWICE. And I shall be seeing it again on Wednesday...FYI I know Im a geek lmao BTW this is my current desktop wallpaper...coooolllll yarrrrr!

'M'


So for uni this week we had a type project, I decided to do the letter 'M'. I was very much inspired by an artist called Andy Goldsworthy, who's work I had seen when I was 17 and something of which always stuck it in my head. This project took a lot of time, a lot of burns and a lot of patience. But I was most certainly happy with the final result.

Also just wanted to say to everyone who did there letters, they were all absolutely amazing!!!

Hammer horror...Phwoarrrrr

Ive been up ALL night ill and Ive been checking out my ususal nerdy website and fell upon these...I love the old hammer horror posters and really wish they did something similar today!

Harry Potter canvas coming soon...

I couldnt resist doing a canvas for Harry Potter, especially when its only 10 days to go till the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part one...(Whos counting huh?)
Of course the canvas will be of them when they were all ickle!!! Its amazing to see how they have all grown up...And all at the same time as me weirdly enough...I hope you enjoy it when Im done :)

Die hard canvas coming soon...

I just cant help but tease you, really looking forward to the end result for this one and I hope you will do too. Die Hard is seriously one of my favourite films and its been on my list for a while now, it had to be done!

Walking dead...Zombies = COOL


I fell upon some amazing illustrations for new hit tv show 'Walking dead'. I couldnt resist putting these up, seen as Zombies are a major biggy for me...And especially for my sister :)

Kick ass - AMAZING (Movie quote Friday)


Just watched Kick ass for the 100th time and it seriously NEVER gets old. Ive decided to start something pretty cool...Movie quote Friday.

This Friday....(Drum roll please)

Red Mist - "A great man once said...'Wait till they get a hold of me"

More shall follow every Friday, keep tuned every week folks.

Backgrounds with acrylics



Ive never personally tried this all myself before but I thought Id give it a bash, I decided to try and create the backgrounds for my finals with acrylics paints. Id taken most inspiration for Van Goth who is one of my favourite artists. I then scanned these in and did what I could with them. I will definitely be trying this technique again as it gives a really amazing texture to some illustrations.

Bakethon round 4 - Slimming world cheesecake

Hmmmmm...this wouldnt didnt perhaps go down too well. Probably because its a diet cheesecake! And Im afraid it doesnt cut it against a naughty one! It tasted nice, but the texture was AWFUL. Id make it just for the experiance really hahaha!

Bakethon round 3 - Lemon Meringue pie

This one took ALOT of effort, seen as I made EVERYTHING from scratch. Was gorgeous when it was finally finished though...Would deffo make this again. Made a right mess that day though :/

Bakethon round 2 - Lemon Cheesecake & Strawberry shortcakes


This went down really really well...I would just like to add that I am by no way trusted near the kitchen, so when I actually cook something decent I get praise like nothing in my life. I decided I would make a lemon Cheesecake and some strawberry cream shortcakes for my Gran when she came round for Sunday dinner. Unfortunately I cant find the website anywhere! But if I do find it, Ill put it up when Ive found it :)

Bakethon round 1 - Muffins




If you go to http://www.muffinrecipes.net/ and look at chocolate muffins you will find exactly the same recipe I use...taste gorg!!! And dont be afraid to go 50g over the choco chips either ;)

York photography







I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YORK!...And I just had to go walking around with camera taking snappy snaps didnt I?

Ohhhh pweerrttyyyy

I was shopping in York (With my camera out obv) and fell upon this amazing alley way, with all these ace posters and tube lighting...Amazing photography opportunity that I had to take on.

Under Milkwood cover


Ive taken massive inspiration from a piece of work I had seen of an illustration from the front of a book for 'The demon headmaster'. I fell in love with this piece of work straight away and knew it was direction I wanted to take with my finals, but even more with my cover design.

Hope you enjoy :)

Under Milkwood Finals




Well I said I would put the finals up, so here they are!!! After 1 month and 1 week Ive finally handed it, will be getting a new brief on Monday though...Mehhhh :)
