nearly a year after graduating, reflection: everyday i’m shuffling

Technically speaking i didn’t graduate until November when I officially got my certificate and that. But by transcript and exam board standards and the expiration of my  university log-in username – it has been since June 2010.   It’s nearly been a whole year! Last night I was online stalking some of my favourite artists/people

love drawings of cities

just playing around with form, and layout and that.  this is an unsuccessful drawing for what i need it for, but i can’t help but show you some stuff i’m working on. i can’t believe i get paid $$$$ to do what I love to draw! today the sun shines, and drawings are going well.

London on a budget (travel)

I recently read the new post on the NYT’s frugal Traveller blog in London. Seth seemed to have gotten a bit of a raw deal. As a Northern UK person, we all know how expensive London is in comparison to the rest of England, never mind if you had to change your currency to half of it’s
