Last month I was working on a commission, recreating the front cover of Elastica's debut album in felt....
I really enjoyed doing it, trying to capture Elastica's moody and sullen looks! I also repeatedly listened to the album whilst I made it, sometimes I forget how good that album is. I also discovered a video for Car Song that I had never seen before, it's a bit crazy....
I have made a new zine!!
I have been making Sugar Paper zine for the past few months and it felt like it was taking ages! So I wanted to make a quick zine and thought who doesn't want to know about the crushes I had as a child!
So I made this...
Featuring The marvellous acting talents of Leonardo Dicaprio, Paul rudd- the Rom com king, The Boys of Empire records and I always wanted to be a secret goth. With some illustrations, collage and clippings from issues of J17 circa 1998!
Available to buy HERE!!
I've always liked collected things. ALWAYS! when I was younger I collected stickers (I still do now) only I collected them and stuck them on my wardrobe door!
I would collect anything from a merit sticker from school to free stickers from Smash Hits magazine, from the stickers you get for being good at the dentist to the labels from bubble bath bottles (honestly soooo many Radox stickers on my door!). But my favourite stickers were the few Garbage Pail Kids ones I got.
I love Garbage Pail Kids!
Whenever I came across any stickers or anything in my adult (and the bit in between that and being a kid) life I would get super excited.
A few years ago I got to see the Garbage Pail Kids film! My friend Alison got a copy, bloody loved it!
I think GPK are trendy again as now they're everywhere. I even got a book full of GPK artwork this year, eeek.
So I thought it was time to finally use this (very long) love of GPK in my art and so I present....
Garbage Felt Kids!
One of my nicknames is Snaileena, It's a joke because I am quick at pretty much everything I do.
I hope to do many more of these, for every GPK lover out there, your very own felt trading card!
Get in touch if you want to commisson one!!
This is the piece I made for the Tino zine I complied. I embroidered a rather stoner-esque looking Tino, complete with French knot spots (a result of a full time stoned/Chinese take away/never seeing daylight kinda lifestyle!)
This and other contributions from other artist will be posted with MUCH MORE Tino related stuff on Has Anyone Seen Tino? Tumblr!
In celebration of International Zine Month (and because I felt like it was long overdue) I made a Placebo zine!
It's an autobiographical affair, about how I have spent more than half of my life being a Placebo fan. It's a celebration of fandom!
Now available in my zine shop!
Yesterday I dyed my fringe, it was somewhat a semi disaster.
Today I finished my latest felt works, So I Started Hanging Out With Rayanne Graff:
Maybe I should have just dyed my hair Crimson Glow. Not sure if I am ready for the life changing that comes with that shade though!
