Tutorial Chuffed.

Not a bad questionnaire result at the end of my first Photography+Photoshop 4 week workshop.

Heads Up

27/3/2013

0 Comments

 
A lovely lady got in touch via my Facebook page requesting a logo design. It turned out what was actually going to be useful was a new header image for her fab blog Tales From The Village, incorporating roller skates, a pile of books, a cupcake, a plant, wool and "well, something like that." She wanted a scribbly feel and a simple white background... Rolling up my sleeves, first of all I tackled the layout.
Picture
Once the layout was OK'd, I worked on the ink drawings, and levels of "scribblyness" with different typefaces.

And the final in situ! Check it out.

Colour variations

26/3/2013

The world is full of inspiration, and I've been blessed to photograph a large chunk of it. A wee celebration of colour, and a useful tool for those of us slightly terrified of colour... Or is it just me!?

Pricing Pickle

26/3/2013

It's been a great pleasure lately helping several new creative business get off the ground lately. One thing I often get asked, is the "right" way to price products. Obviously there are variations according to your specific requirements/product/service, but I put this together as a handy "rule of thumb." Hope it helps!

All work and no play, and all that...

24/3/2013

Just spent a rather marvellous snowy weekend with mates, just relaxing, eating, drinking, rediscovering Thunderbirds, and pushing the limits of crayons... 

First up, sticking them to a coffee frother to replicate old school Spirographs. Uncanny, no?
Picture
Next we considered involving heat, and things started to get fun! I spose I should say, don't try this at home or without grown up paws helping and all that jazz, but meh! My bro has a mini blowtorch for "cooking." It also works really well melting crayons- either by setting the paper wrapper on fire and letting the wax drip, or shaving crayons with a knife (if you're going to make art dangerous, you may as well do it properly!) and melting the shavings directly onto a well water-soaked piece of paper. We also used a hairdryer to melt the crayons directly in a slightly less dramatic fashion.
Picture
Finally we used the Aga hot plate as a toasty desk, and drew onto paper resting onto it. It's amazing how painterly the melted crayons looked. Definitely recommend for punchy colour fun.
Picture

Not that bambinos are on the horizon yet, but I like to think that when they do appear, we'll find plenty of hands on fun things to do like this weekend. Maybe swapping wine for non-fermented fruits... And maybe less fire, maybe...

I'm very chuffed to have my work displayed in the Banbury Museum and Tourist Information shop, from today until the end of April only! 

There might even be a few things available that aren't currently stocked anywhere else.

Screen Printed Success

I was super chuffed how well my first screen printing workshop went, and very impressed by the creative outcomes the lovely ladies produced! I hope they're all happy with their beautiful tote bags, and feel inspired to try the technique again.

The next one is pencilled in for the 18th May, confirmation coming soon. Please get in touch if you're interested!

Architectural Work

Having worked for a Property Surveyor in the past, dabbling with CAD technician work and designing the odd car port or two, I'm no stranger to reading architectural plans, and helping people "see" what they are describing. Some recent such work.

Bespoke Painting

14/3/2013

A lovely lady spotted on my Facebook page my technique of painting in acrylic and using a craft knife to carve back to the white paper beneath. She set the theme and colour and after some back and forth, I happily created it.

And how I got there...
