Starry eyed...

Look what came through the post for me!

I finally got round to registering my 21st birthday present, (bear in mind by birthday is April, oh dear).

It may seem abit egotistical but I like my name so there we go :)

There is now a star named after me for eternity! (Not if you read the small print!)


Go me!

No junk mail!

I picked up this cute little sign in a quirky shop in Headingly, Leeds.

Even though the constant flyers still seem to be shooting their way through the letterbox, at least its pretty!

Vintage...

Hope your all having a nice and lazy sunday!

Currently I am working on a vintage project, with its end market targeted at quirky and fun greetings cards. For my initial drawing development I have been around the city and taken photographs of vintage design and objects to draw from. Some objects have really interesting shapes and patterns and I am hoping to draw from this later on.

Enjoy! Kelly :)

Wizard of Oz...

Hey guys!

I am very late with this, but hopefully I will keep more on top of the blog now!
Anyway, here is my most recently completed project on the Wizard of Oz. We were given the concept of journey and of course my child brain automatically comes up with the journey of Dorothy, the Tinman, the Lion and the Scarecrow :) My final market was to create digitally printed wallapaper and interior furnishing designs. Enjoy!
