This weekend was officially the best ever. Two sets of my limited edition prints are now available to buy at The Juju Shop in Leeds Corn Exchange! The shop itself is gorgeous. Filled with a mish-mash of hand made goodies, doodads, nicknacks and thingies that you just have to rummage through. I nearly didn't make it to the store due to flu, but my Super Dad saved the day and drove me there himself. Thanks Dad!

The Night Hag
I had the craziest sleep-paralysis hallucination last night. Scary as hell, but it gave me some creative mojo!

UN Declaration of Human Rights.
For Christmas holiday funzies, we were asked to illustrate six of the Human Rights in poster format. This was the most challenging brief I've had so far; the 30 declarations are short, sharp and very specific. The research involved a lot of sifting through awful examples of the violation of human rights. I dont do dark and serious. My brain just isn't wired that way. It took a lot of effort, but the results are my best work this term!

Article 9. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Article 12. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
Article 15. Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
Article 17. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.

NewScientist magazine project.
The brief: to do two black and white spot illustrations and a front cover for NewScientist Magazine.
"Botanic gardens the source of invaders" According to
the article, more than half the world's most invasive plant species
spread into new habitats from botanic gardens.
"First Europeans did not rely on fire" Evidence now suggests
that humans did not learn to control fire until much later into our
development than was previously believed. We were pretty
well developed as an intelligent species by the time we
mastered it.
human physiology over the last 2000 years, but was cautious about
claiming this was evolution. It pointed out that if we as a species
returned to the lifestyles of ancient civilisations, these recent
changes in our bodies could return to their previous states.
