DUST STORM

Lots of pretties available in my etsy shop to hang on your pink bedroom wall ♥

Lovelies at The Young Creatives were kind enough to feature an interview with me about my work which you can read here. There's other wonderful interviews with creative lovelies on there too which are well worth a read!

Hope you are all having a lovely Friday, mine is being spent illustrating, packing up Etsy orders & watching Once Upon A Time ♥ 

GHOST DREAM

In my absence I've been working on these Met Ball illustrations, I felt really inspired by them and seeing as they featured some of my favourite lovelies I thought they'd be a really good way of getting back into things. I've been really ill lately so haven't been illustrating the mountainous volumes I usually do. I've been whipping up something nice for the Ballad Of girls and hope to share soon. There will be more new lovelies in my etsy shop too so keep an eye out if you wish.

Other than that I've been watching Once Upon A Time, (all our favourite tv shows are ending, New Girl *sob*, Fringe, Supernatural), drinking tea and trying to make the garden pretty so that summer time can be enjoyed outside (basically my lovely boyfriend has been doing all the hard, manly work and I've been weeding and planting seeds) Hope you're all having a lovely week sweets ♥

BLOOD RED SHOES ♥

Wednesday I was woken up too early by our silly neighbours, I wish they'd be more considerate. Anyway the day went on, laundry and other chores and we were going to see Blood Red Shoes that night, they actually tweeted about a pair of tickets and I was lucky enough to win them so when we got there we were on the guestlist. We had lovely drinks and a really good night, I love the atmosphere and energy at gigs, especially ones at tiny venues. The band were awesome, (they made a lot of noise for only two people) as were their support THE CAST OF CHEERS who were super cool, they have some pretty amazing videos, they sort of remind me of videos by OK, GO! ♥

I SAY YOU THE BESTEST

MINI ZINES, inspired by Marie Antoinette, Rachel Antonoff, paper dolls, daily drawings are all now in my etsy shop and looking for pretty bedrooms to live in ♥ and there's also the limited edition lovely book of excuses zine ♥ Hope you've all got lovely plans today, I've had a mini spring clean this morning, apart from my studio which is a little bit messy with pink paper & Disney cups, film soundtracks strewn everywhere so that needs to be sorted (but I'm so tired!), then later we're going to see Blood Red Shoes, date night! Can't fit the Avengers in today (boo!) so we're going next week but then Beauty and the Beast 3D comes out then! CLASH! Anyway, have a lovely Wednesday!

WHEN WE WAKE

Hello lovelies, well yesterday was rather lovely wasn't it! The sun came out so we thought it would be good to get some fresh air and sunshine. It was just nice to get out of the house and have a wander, I actually found some film soundtracks that I've been *hankering* (too much Big Bang Theory? thanks, Sheldon!) after, The Lost Boys was one of them, Romeo + Juliet vol.1 & vol.2, Kill Bill vol.1 & Moulin Rouge. We had lunch out, which we don't often do because of lack of pennies but sometimes it's just nice and you appreciate it when it's not very often. I exchanged an online order for these tan beauties and some really cute 'Oui' 'Non' earrings, I wanted to buy all the jewellery in Topshop & nail polish! ♥

Tomorrow we're going to see Blood Red Shoes, so it's something lovely to look forward to & possibly The Avengers before. We managed to get tickets for Ladyhawke too, who I love, her music is such an inspiration when I'm in my studio illustrating. I've been illustrating lately too, you can get free shipping with code RAINYDAY on all items in my etsy shop ♥

THUNDERSTORMS

I've not been around much lately because I had some sad news over the weekend, I don't want to go into it on here but I lost someone very dear to me. Things have felt out of sorts, the weather hasn't helped much either, it's difficult to go out and get fresh air with the threat of rain and thunderstorms. We had a lightning storm here a few nights ago. I've had really strange creative episodes where I just drew and drew all day. Those close to me have been very lovely and helped by cheering me up, I'm so thankful to them. I've been rewatching New Girl to take my mind off things & making endless cups of tea (no surprises there). I'm hoping things will settle over time, but at the moment things aren't easy and I wish I was closer to home at times like these. ♥

FILM POSTERS ♥

Illustrated film posters have now been added to my etsy shop, Sleeping Beauty, To Catch A Thief, Green Mansions & Melancholia ♥ They are available in a4 and a3 size, however the a3 are limited so if you'd like one you have to be quick. I have more to list and would love any suggestions of ones you'd like to see in there. If you have a look at my illustration facebook page and leave a comment you could win one ♥
