Leaf Magazine Doodles!

Book Festival

Some doodles and scribbles for the new fourth issue of Leaf Magazine! The first image is based on the Book festival and other is based on the usual theme of Writing! I’ve been using a lot of paper textures in my work recently, (using the magical tool of Photoshop!) as this is something I’ve been including in my ‘Cloud’ story, to represent the impact of weather on the pages of the book, and I’m really happy with the effects I’ve been getting from that.

Writing

I also went to the Botanic Gardens on a teeny trip today where I picked up some interesting textures and colour possibilites for my Foxy story. I’m thinking ferns and lots of repetitive patters. I plan on being much more pro-active this week! go go go!

Night night!

I’m back!

Wow, so it’s been forever since my last post! I blame a combination of being ill (eeee..germs)  and far too much dissertation related annoyingness. I really am starting to hate foxes.. not a good sign!

Anyway on a printed note, here’s some of my latest illustration printed joy! The next Leaf Magazine! Visit the website here to get hold of your copy!

Bido Lito

Over Christmas I did a little illustration for  a Liverpool music magazine called Bido Lito! I got the lovely bright pink magazine in the post this morning- its very pink and very exciting!:)  The article was an interview with Nigel from the band Half Man Half Biscuit. The illustration is based on something he said in his interview about loving to cycle through old British towns. Here’s a scan for you!

Nomad News!

So just to add a little bit of pressure I’ve decided to take on the Secretary and Creative Directors Role for Nomad Magazine, which is a free travel/global views/magazine run by Edinburgh University students. The next issue to come out  is actually the one I did all the layout  (and lots of illustrations) for over Easter last year,  though due to funds there’s been a slight delay in the release. But we’re getting our groove on now and it’ll be published very soon – so keep an eye out for it in all the local haunts!

Plans are already being made for the next issue, and I’m just doing a bit of shameless plugging to get everyone to take a peek at our website and see if they would like to contribute any travel, politics, opions, or creative writing text, photography, illustrations, or join our team. Please get in touch with me if you’re interested for details, or send an email to us on our website and blog!

Take a peek at: http://nomad.eusa.ed.ac.uk/who/whoframe.html We’re having our website updated too- so watch this space!

Cheerio!

Some little Leaf Mag Writing illustrations!

'Reading List'

Some editorial work for Leaf Mag!  The themes are ‘travel writing’ and ‘beginnings’. So, so far this is what I’ve got! They’re all based on travel writing at the moment!

Travel Writing

Went for a little bit of a Pinocchio theme..but I really fancied drawing a whale at the time..may be a teensy bit vague..wooopsie.
