Cat print

Yay! Test print is good :)  Happy now. I'll post a proper print later. Now can you see what it is supposed to say?

Where did my common sense go!?

I spent about a week or so cutting out this new lino print - sort of just making it up as I went along, from a vague idea I had in my head. I only realised my fatal error once I had inked up the print - TO MY HORROR - it was backwards. I don't know why I'm surprised, but I feel like a muppet now. I am shamefacedly going to make it again, probably with a few tweaks, one of which will be making sure it's a MIRROR IMAGE.

I drew a little something for a friend who is getting married - think it's one for the gocco!!! Might actually faff around in photoshop with it too - it would look nice with some colour. On an unrelated note - I'd like to make this blog a bit more active and know that people are looking at it! So if you are and you have something to say - please say it!!!

Je suis tres heureux!

I have been waiting so long to see Sylvain Chomet's next work of art and it is showing right now at the EIFF. Watching the trailer made me feel all homesick for Edinburgh and it looks so lovingly made. I know he lives in Edinburgh so I'm glad he loves it as much as I do!

Another amazing little animation that I am excited about is an adaptation of Shaun Tan's "The Lost Thing" . It is good to see some really good 2D animation and more traditional art techniques in with the CG which I'm hoping is going to have some sort of vogue some time soon.

Lo Siento

Oh fail! I keep leaving big gaps in posts.

I have been busily job hunting but meeting a lot of dead ends. Being at home doing nothing was driving me to a slow death, so now I am part time working at my Dads computer shop, spending a lot of time hiding from customers who ask me things beyond my knowledge. I feel a lot better when I am keeping busy, I was getting lazy and apathetic.

Anywhoo, do you like the t-shirt I made? Should I make more? I'm hopefully going to post more art for you to comment on and you have to tell me if it is rubbish or not.

Tomorrow I am going to see Imogen Heap, so excited! She always has really inventive shows so I am looking forward to what magic she will create! I'll update with pics hopefully soon.

Anyway, I promise to be back.
