Vintage stalls, hipsters and Phil Collins




Hokay so I feel pretty hipster today. So hipster in fact that I bought these cheap glasses^. It was too funny at the time not to. BUT ANYWAY. Along with my flatmate Sarah (http://www.sarah-a-illustration.co.uk/) I took a stroll down to the How Bazaar event at our university, where a whole bunch of awesome people were selling some great handmade bits and bobs, and illustrated prints too.


I ended up spending more than I intended but there were some awesome people behind the stalls today. It was especially nice to meet the illustrators behind work I'd seen at last years degree show; I ended up buying badges and prints from Jake Lockett, Katie Upson and Kyle Underwood (hope I got yer names right!), and was surprised to find that Kyle has been reading my webcomic Cafe Suada! :D Result.


Also saw a fantastic print highlighting a major issue: The difference between Jafar cake and Jaffacake. SO easy to get them mixed up. It was a fun event to say the least, and it had a kickass soundtrack to say the most! First step inside and Back to the Future starts playing, followed by Phil Collin's In the Air Tonight, followed by MORE AWESOME.

Yup. 'Twas a good Saturday. But now I must return to getting ready for the degree show. All of my final project stuff is pretty much ready to go up, it's just that I need to hunt down and sort out all of my competition work into something presentable... I'll do my best. U_U'''






I leave you with Jaffacake: http://qkme.me/2s63

The future is NOW

... I may or may not have been watching too much Starship recently XD *Ahem* Anyway, the blog's had a bit of a revamp seeing as it's getting closer to the end of my university adventures and I'll be using this thing a little more. I think. In any case I really need to get to work on a proper website but for now this will do ^_^ Please continue to look out for my illustrations and comics in the coming months. ///U_U///
