artist a day

What I'm listening too: X-box
Mood: blah
Who I'm currently googling: David Marc Grant





I just accidently found this website http://www.artistaday.com which shows a different everyday and today discovered illustrator David Marc Grant his works revolve around the idea of "environmental problems, contradictions, and unintended consequences of a civilization built on a foundation of unsustainable growth on a finite planet". None the less his art is very cool and detailed I love mixing black and white illustrations with colour backgrounds and elements. Its very inspiring to find artist that create their own style rather then copying other artists or sticking to the norm!

Just finished taking photos of (ess-arr) Simonne's rag animals will put them after some photoshop adjusting. Other then that i've been a bit slow on the updating of my graphic design portfolio as silly computers dying have meant me losing files which has delayed me greatly, hopefully though in the next couple of weeks iot will be ready to 'hopefully' interest some future employers. Although my cover letter and resume need some major adjustment! Sigh! 

anyway have fun and start creating today!

a perfect world...





My new book from www.bookdepository.com. Just awaiting my other book 'art by tattooists'. The amazing thing about the book depository is it is FREE SHIPPING from the uk and the books are at least half the price of the retail price you'll find in any book shop. 


So do yourself a favour and have a look, I promise you'll become addicted <3

I'm not sure where to start my heads full of ideas since I pulled out of teaching last monday and I want to do them all but where to start?! I need to do my partners tattoo, create swing tags for my partners mum and aunty (who are busy creating amazing crafty things) and their label ess-arr and update my graphic design portfolio. But so far all I've pretty much done is work, do up ess-arrs' blog and create kitchy necklaces:
