Indeed.....

Soya hot chocolate.....


....is fantastic in my Hell Yes mug from New Museum, 235 Bowery, NY.

Dye workshops.....


Even though I was wearing gloves today in the dye workshop, I still managed to dye my finger tip blue and my thumb brown. 


I learnt about Indigo, Potassium Permanganate and Citric Acid dye's today.


I managed to get Indigo dye spots on my light grey jeans....I used the process of applying the Potassium Permanganate dye to remove the Indigo dye and then the Citric Acid dye to remove the Potassium Permanganate....it worked....was rather pleased with myself. 


Note to self, next week wear old clothes as some people aren't as careful with the dye's!!!

New York - Sept 2010

I took a birthday trip to New York and was very inspired. Some of the things I was inspired by were the fire escapes.....

 Soho fire escapes.....

 Chinatown fire escapes....



 Saw some fantastic graffiti.........






Advert in Chinatown





 Walking over Brooklyn Bridge

After a night out in Brooklyn the sequins on my top were catching the light and making patterns dance on Maria's apartment walls.













Horses and ducks.....


 View over Central Park.....




More random graffiti in Chinatown.....
 Shop front....
 'I'm way into stuff'....badges I bought at New Museum.....















 I met Jake at Bruar Falls....my iPhone has no flash so we used candles to light the pictures....I really like these shots...fun.....I have lots of New York pictures, these were just a few of my fav's. It's such an amazing city...I hope to be going back there really soon. I fell for that city in a big way......































New Project for the new school year.

 So I'm now a second year!!!!! 

Our first project is on innovation, but first we have to create a series of designs to take through to the next design stage.
I started with some of the flower images I took photos of over the Summer. I've been asked to design some merchandise for my friend Maria again. I want to update the image I did for her ep and I have a few ideas of how I can do this.







         


My new desk space at uni is starting to fill up with images. I like it looking busy.

There are some skateboard graphics up and some of my images from my trip to New York. I'm inspired by New York fire escapes, been drawing them quite a bit.
