Drawn Chorus at E17!

Here are some black and white brooches and pendants that I made for the E17 fair in Walthamstow. Each one is hand printed, varnished and signed on the back and is based some traditional toys. 

Pop on down to take a look at these (plus my reindeer decorations) and other fab wares from the wonderful members of Drawn Chorus... just what you need for that special christmas gift!

The Greatest Show on Earth!

One of the things I've been up to recently was a show with The Drawn Chorus Collective.

The Greatest show on Earth featured the illustrative imaginings of all the greatest circuses, freak shows and fairs in literature have to offer. 
The circus has been delighting and enthralling audiences for centuries, and with Angela Carter through to Dr. Seuss, Drawn Chorus drew excited crowds into a world of enchantment and wonder. 

“The Greatest Show on Earth” was a collaborative exhibition between seasoned illustrators and new illustrative talent. Displayed at The Gallery on the Corner, the show ran from the 18th to the 23rd of September 2013!

(The show is also now on tour- to see the works for yourself come on down to the Mills Centre! For more info check out our facebook event.)

Remember the show I did with a cool bunch of illustration cats at the beginning of the year?! Well, after Curiouser and Curiouser we decided to make it a permanent thing... and so...

was born!

A self portrait done for the upcoming 'Drawn Chorus' website. 

Yes I know I am not a horse, I don't even look like one (at least I don't think I do?!?) but as you must know by now I do have the tendency to imagine people I meet as animals. 

I am a shetland pony, short, round, opinionated and stubborn but also gentle, loyal and loving!

P.S Sorry for the severe lack of posts. General real life has got in the way of my online self. I also have a new job (or I guess not so new now...) as a TA... more to come on that soon along with the huge backlog of work I also have to post up here. Hopefully I will get onto that next week!
