Another voting contest..

www.Bonbonkakku.com has a lil contest on at the moment... With the gooey theme of LOVE... my attempt is above, it called 'birds in love' cos there is birds in the background. 
Im stuck in glasgow with the sole reason of babysitting, hosting a sleepover tonight..ah.....ah..6 days down.. at least ive been working... 

what about this frame?


Would this one detract attention from the person next to me, do you think?

aaah why won't they just say yes, you are allowed white or neutral wooden frames. the end.


p.s. I'm sooo excited about where the wild things are!

Picture Frame


I've found the perfect picture frame! Do you think that one look at it would successfully give our uniformity loving Design School an apoplectic fit rendering them temporarily insane and thus leaving us to design the show ourselves???

book binding paper

Just thought I'd share this link... They have some reasonably priced paper that is made for book binding, and is looooooooooads cheaper than the bockingford stuff/thick inkjet paper.

The Fall


I really like this film, and the cinematography in it is insanely good. Check out a preview if you get a chance. Lee Pace does a really good job in it. It got mixed reviews, but I thought it was excellent.

Bulletin Illustration



Here's an editorial illustration I did for the Edinburgh Uni staff magazine about the Scotland Year of Homecoming or whatever they're calling it! I hope the background colours aren't too bright my computer doesn't have very good screen resolution so it's hard to tell.

Ethnicity?



Hey guys - I thought we had too many posts without images, so here's one.
Wondering if you could help me out... what sort of ethnicity (or mix of ethnicities) does this drawing look like? [Completely regardless of clothing.] Even if it just looks Caucasian, if let me know what it seems to be to you I'd appreciate it.
