Exciting times!

So...I've been nominated for a D&AD Student Award for my response to the Metro brief. Amazing! I won't know the results until the awards ceremony in June, but just being nominated is pretty exciting, to say the least.

Badges & Biscuits





The lovely people over at DeathGob asked if they could use a few of my drawings on some badges. Look nice, don't they? But I now have biscuit cravings.

You can find the badges here.

Alabama Kitchen


I received some exciting post this morning.

A few months back, I got an e-mail from Annie Herlocker, a graduate student at The University of Alabama. For her Book Arts MFA Annie's been learning letterpress printing, hand papermaking, bookbinding and book repair.

For her thesis project, Annie developed a cookbook, showcasing recipes from three local Alabama farms, to be hand-bound and printed on handmade paper. She approached me to supply some illustrations for the book, and this morning a couple of copies arrived in the post! It looks fab - well done Annie!


In other book-related news, I went to visit a bookbinders this morning. If all goes according to plan, I should be back there next week to leave my printed Final Major Project in their capable hands..!

Self promotion


A couple of self promotion bits I picked up from the printers yesterday. My CV is going to be slipped inside the poster and posted out to a few places. They say flattery gets you nowhere, but I'm sure there's no harm in telling a few people they're wonderful...

If you're wondering how the mythology project is going, it's...getting there. Hoping to print it next week then I can get it bound. Exciting!
