craftwerk.

So im really into DIY graphics and making stuff at the mo, and i found this group on facebook called craftwerk. Turns out they put on events "featuring DIY indie craftmaking, raffles, cakes and music!" Im so on this. anyways theyr doing a thing near euston stn on sat 1st aug and entry is free, which is always a good thing. Tatty Devine are gonna be there with loads of other crafty DIY based stalls and it just sounds ace, so if I can find some money to get to euston that day, chances are im so there. Just thought id help spread the word!

also i get that the banner looks gash, im so on doing it again so it fits in the screen!

um...

so i havent said anything in ages... ive been here and there mostly, but not completely neglecting my drawing. ive been working on personal promo stuff, hoping to get together some form of website, instead of having random stuff floating around the net on different sites. i was going to get work experience but since i cant afford to pay rent right now (shhh dont tell my landlord, he hasn't noticed yet) ive decided the most important thing right now is to knuckle down and get a job. personally ive never had a job ive been happy at, so every time it comes down to it, i get really worried about it. god i hate being a pauper. i cant afford like, anything man.

p.s. listen to the big pink. theyre amazing. actually don't, i want them all to myself.

note to self:

must go here next week!

essay fanzine.

so we did these essays and i did mine on the graphical identity of the uk punk movement (yes graphical is a word) and then we had to present our essays visually via typographic solution and blah blah make a poster and a book in the style of our essay content SO i decided to make a fanzine like sniffin' glue (70s punkzine by mark perry). anyway its taken ages and i just got it printed yday and im so pleased with it i thought id slap it online. ta da.



that took an unneccessary amount of time. how on earth do you spell unneccessary??

kate moross.

Ive just been browsing the work of kate moross and i cant believe how amazing she is. shes a graphic designer/photographer/illustrator/fashion designer who tours with hearts revolution, runs a record label and lectures from time to time. kate moross is 22 years old. that is one year older than me. what do i do? a bit of drawing when i can summon up the energy. i want all of these things but i havent even applied for work experience. something needs to change.
