So i’ve been toying for years with the idea and it looks like i’m finally going for it. I’ve just emailed the tattooist I hope will do my sleeve, his work is seriously stunning! Have a look http://www.immortalink.co.uk/?page=galleries&cat=01
Anyway, this is my very rough idea for what I want, feel free to comment

Well I finally got round to making my own christmas card, granted i’ve uploaded it after christmas, but hey I just managed to get it printed on time for the festive season gone:). This was my first personal illustration done completely in illustrator, having rediscovered the joys of the software thanks to my current job recreating kids drawings as vector graphics. I’m moderately pleased with the outcome although I have a lot of experimenting to do in illustrator from now on…

Hi All,
Ok, so i’ve been officially rubbish prior to and after completing my MA, sorry about that! I’m just about to update the design and photography pages with my MA project work and the design work i’ve been doing since leaving university. Firstly here are some of the stills from the animation that was my major project, you can watch the animation at:

(Unfortunately it’s pretty bad quality, but you get the gist!)
Feel free to leave comments,
Many Thanks, Abi

Postcard Design 1 – Day Dreaming
Postcard Design 2 – Siren at Sunset
Postcard Design 3 – Cursed
I called this project ‘Life on a postcard’ because I took quotes from my subjects that were very honest statements about themselves / their lives, photographed and illustrated these quotes. I chose to use the postcard medium to enforce the messages because it is a classic form of communication. The quotes were hand written by the models to enforce the personal nature of the project.
