Doodle Bug

So the dreaded dissertation may be finished but I still have a week of exams and coursework to deal with before I am finished with my higher education 4EVAAZZ! Needless to say I am still doodling instead of doing work...


I have taken my doodling to the next level by attempting to justify drawings in my business plan, using them as 'Character Development' this way I could spend a whole hour drawing and colouring in, without the guilt nagging me that I should be doing more important things with my time.



I picked basic silhouettes from magazines and developed them into the look I wanted using a common biro pen for the outline and Letraset Promarkers for colour. Its a bit messy / sketchy but that was the look I was going for. If you are attempting any kind of illustration then I definitely recommend Letraset pens, great quality every time.

Idle Hands...

Once again, in the land of Gala me and my flatmate found ourselves at a loose end. After a few glasses of wine* with friends I suddenly find myself being turned into a human doodle!
Yes, Johanna decided to practise her drawing skills on my face by imitating a Mexican Sugar Skull, usually seen at the famous Dia De Los Muertos festival in Mexico.



Not bad for some eyeliner / shadow eh!? Although, I do warn you that Johanna is in fact a freelance illustrator. Here is a scarf she made recently, modelled by my foot.

To see some of her awesome work and my super modelling skills - click here!
It's like my granny always says, the devil makes work for idle hands.. so better keep 'em busy making beautiful things!

Rhyming Time!

Ok, so my last exam finished exactly 8 hours, 2 minutes ago. After about 15 minutes of enjoying doing nothing I got bored and my mind wandered to other things. Mainly, now that I don't have books for a distraction, my Beau and how much I miss him.

So Stewart McCall... I wrote you a little poem! 


Hope it makes you laugh! Or at least smile.
Hope everyone else enjoys it too!
