Studying illustration at the University of the West of England, Bristol. A blog of photography and illustration, both first & second year and personal work.

It’s June, and the university term has been over for about 3 weeks. In a bid to try and maintain a bit of creativity, I finally picked up my camera again. I think I might cheat on illustration and have an affair with photography over the Summer, because I forgot how much fun it is to document every little part of my life. I was given a Lomo Oktomat camera for my birthday, which has been fun to play with, and I will post up some of those photographs soon. 

I am meant to be designing an Olympic/Jubilee poster for my church, and then I need to start designing the large format posters for the D&AD show, New Blood, in London. I can’t really post up what I’m doing with that, because it’s not my work - but come along to Old Spitalfields Market at the end of June to see some decent work.

Happy Summer.

Here are some images of my final books - I don’t know the name of the binding but basically each page is folded to make a sort of pocket, so all the illustrations are loose. I printed on and made each book out of different papers.
