Website Update

I've added new work to my website. There are fresh additions to the 'Landscapes' series plus some Editorial images and a new section for cards and stuff in 'Stationary'. I've also slipped in a few extra illustrations from Cardigan Heart. The sketchbook bit is being constantly updated too! Phew!

Summer in London

Thought I'd update a bit on what's been going on with me here in the fine city of London.

I recently moved into the lovely OPEN Studio where I'm sharing a desk with my arch nemesis Ping Zhu (not really! she's flipping ace). We've only been there a couple of weeks but so far its been super. I'll try and share some pictures of our desk once we get it 'just so'.

This past week favourite folks Jez Burrows and Eleni Kalorkoti were in London which meant walking a lot, eating a lot and not really doing much work at all. A glorious week all told. (above Jez and Eleni enjoy some tasty poster design at the London Transport Museum. Nerds.)

I'm all done with Uni for the summer and will be heading back in Autumn for the second half of my masters course. Plans are brewing, ideas are evolving. I'm looking forward to it. Above is something I did this term, more a starting point or an experiment than a finished piece (probably worth clicking on to see it better, its a bit long and thin!)

Nomads

'Nomads' is a wee zine about being a teenage girl in an uneventful town; not much happens I'm afraid. I guess this is a continuation from the kind of thing I was doing in 'Cardigan Heart' so if you liked that maybe you'll like this!

I'm doing a lot of zine based work at the moment. I guess it might be tedious for everyone else but I like the urgency of it, racing through a project and having a little book at the end of it. I'm a bit fixated on storytelling at the moment. So I reckon there'll be a bit more of this kind of thing in future.

Tiger Meeting

This is a painting I did for a show (called 'Earthly Delights') curated by super duo Tuesday Bassen & Pete Gamlen at Light Grey Art Lab in Minneapolis. Its a tiger and a lady meeting in a jungle and making friends. Because...that would be pretty delightful I reckon.

Prints from the exhibition are available to buy here.

Summer Sale!

I haven't had a good clear out of my drawers in a while so I thought it was about time to attempt to re-home some drawings. As usual if you're interested in a drawing send an email to lizzy (at) abouttoday.co.uk and remember to let me know where you are so that I can calculate the postage costs. At present I cannot only accept paypal payment transfers I'm afraid. Thanks!
