It has actually been ages since my last post, for this I apologise...but really, who am I apologising to?
I would like to wish everyone a happy new year (how belated is that?!) and I hope everything is going well for you so far.
Sooo, since the last time I posted I turned 20 and I've been busy busy busy with university. I'm really enjoying it although it is hard work, but what's the point in doing something easy? I've made quite a few garments...I'll share them with you once I find the time to photograph them properly. I've also been designing a lot, it's quite shocking...my tutors say 'do 50 designs for next Friday' and amazingly, I just do it. Maybe I'll share some of those quick drawings with you too? Hmm...
Any illustration I do now is usually in my freetime, which sometimes I find very hard...other times I love, so it's give and take. My new userpic is from something I'm working on :)
Check out my Tumblr., I update it quite randomly, but if you care...have a little peek ;)
And, yes, I'm also on twitter...fun.
Well, how have you been?

P.S. I don't want this LJ to die seeing that I visit this site almost everyday...I just lurk, you see...

Long time, no update...how shocking? Not.
Well I've been busy busy since I started my degree last September. It's been really fun and I've been enjoying it.
I made a skirt toile which you can see on my Flickr, front and back.
My illustrative style has changed quite a lot in quite a short period of time. I think my style kind of got a bit stale so I think this change has revived it a bit. I've been taught by Richard Gray (who I have previously featured in my journal) who has sort of questioned the way in which I portray women. He's not into cute, he wanted my illustrations to be more edgy, hmm...
( Onto the illustrations... )

Soo...it's been a while!
Well I finished my foundation, and my end of year exhibition went well...I achieved a merit, which then secured my place in Westminster :D
You can see some information about my Final Major Project that went towards the exhibition here and also the portfolio I took to my interview here.
My summer holidays have been great, I went to Ireland for three weeks and and did a dressmaking course at the Grafton Academy, I did it in 2004 and I enjoyed it a lot then, too! Then I went to Hong Kong for two weeks, it was lovely, but not long enough! I hope to go back next summer.
I'm having a wonderful stress-free summer :D
I can't wait to start my degree!
Also! If you are on poupéegirl...ADD ME! |

Everything is pretty rubbish right now. Well not everything...I got into Westminster, but it's a conditional offer so I need to work hard!
But at the moment I'm living on about £1.50 a day which is absolutley nothing in this day and age. I was pretty ignorant before but now I realise everything is money money money. I just feel at such a loss right now, I never realised the amount of money I spent on printing, photocopies, fabrics, art materials...it just never added up in my mind. Well I have 4 more weeks of this project and then the stress will be gone...I think!
I'm selling some stuff on eBay, not a lot, but check it out if you have a spare minute > http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZcksi2811
Please send me anything that you think could cheer me up...thanks... |

So, I recently dyed my naturally black hair blonde...
I've wanted to do this for so long, haha, I like it. I'm probably going to go lighter, but I think it's nice for now :D
I also need to make my eyebrows match 0_0 EEP!
What do you guys think?
I've recently started piecing my portfolio together, I think once it's all together I'll post some photos. I've been quiet with my art lately, purely for the fact I don't have access to a scanner and the majority of my art is HUGE. I really like working on a bigger scale...hmm...
Also, I started a journal for general interests > http://ilovecksi.livejournal.com/
Sooo...what has everyone been up to? Did you all have a good Easter? |

Hello all? Is there anyone out there?
Yes, I know, I haven't updated in ages...and well, everything has been very stressful lately.
I'm basically working towards my portfolio and I'll have interviews for my BA degree (in fashion design womenswear) soon so everything is up in the air and I'm just really worried about everything.
So I've chosen Westminster as my first choice and University East London as my second. I really hope I get into Westminster, but I really wouldn't mind going to University East London because a lot of their students go on the work for the Arcadia group.
Please everyone, WISH ME LUCK!!
Also...can some one give me an invite to ffffound? Please? Pretty please? |

So, I finished my first term, it all started off shakey, but I really enjoyed it towards the end. I'll have to post the work I did next month...it's all back in Kingston, and I am now at home. HOME! It's so nice to just sit around and do nothing...wake up at 2:00PM...it's wonderful :)
Now I'm trying to choose between Fashion and Illustration...I hope I make a wise choice...
So yes, I finished animation and it was so much fun. If I had that kind of set up I would be doing more little movies. Although the one I created is only 12 seconds long...I'm still a teeny weeny bit proud of it, I don't think it's too bad considering it was made within a six day project.
It had to be based around a found object, mine was a two-pence piece. I know it doesn't make sense...
Watch it here on YouTube!

So yes, I've been a busy bee, doing my 'Art & Design Diploma in Foundation Studies.'
All is going well and I'm having fun, I haven't made a huge amount of friends (because I'm not really that good at that) but the ones that I have made are great, so I'm happy :)
The first term is nearly over and gosh! A lot has been packed in...and still is being packed in...
Well, my first term is basically a way of us all getting to grips with the different disciplines. We do two projects in a three week block. Blah blah blah...
So far I've done Visual Studies, Graphic Design, Life Drawing, Fashion Culture, Fine Art, 3D Design and I'm currently doing Illustration and Animation.
Once I go home I will make a huge post with all the work I did...just my scanner here is not great :-/
Take care! Next update won't take so long! x |

Long time, no update. To be honest, I just haven't felt like it.
But alas, it is time for me to tell you all what is going on...etc, etc...
So, I have made a huge step in my life, I moved out and I'm now living in Kingston Upon Thames, which is just outside London. I've been living here for three weeks, and I have also just finished the third week of my course.
I feel as though I've been here forever, but then I don't, I feel like I'm on some strange holiday...it's really hard to explain.
The course so far has been really enjoyable, although some things have seemed a bit odd they kind of make sense by the end of the day. It feels different doing one thing for the whole day, but I think different is good. Some of the days seem to drag on and others seem to go in the blink of an eye.
I don't really know what else to say, hmm... |
