This is an extremely crude animation (it is my first go) but saying that, I really love how lo-fi it is. The new animation feature in 5 is mega!!

Today I drew a pirate on top of one of Lake Coniston’s jetty’s. The pirate style was stolen from a training session but you gotta start somewhere yeah?

Here are a couple of recent logos I whipped up for a good friend of mine over at and .aesthetics.

For ‘Not Another Lash Studio’ she wanted something 90’s bad-ass-girly-girl-esque. Think ‘Mean Girls’ and you’re there. Of course, inspiration had to also be taken from The Powerpuff Girls.

The second logo created for her can be seen over at ‘Ethereal Aesthetics’ which is completely different again - following a more gothic and serious route but keeping an air of class and style.

I’ve never been any good at drawing faces. But after some YouTube tutorials and practice I’m slowly getting there. Lots of room for improvement yet though.

So, I recently purchased an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil in to enhance my typography and illustration.

I’ve always doodled traditionally with pens / pencils and paper but never transfer them digitally and everything I do these days is digital (although one day I will bring my letterpress out of semi-retirement!!).

I will develop my skills on the iPad to bring more personalised designs to the work I do with .

I am extra buzzing about this weeks playlist. I have followers these guys for a long time and it feels great to have them on board.

For me, music is and will always be a constant soundtrack to my life. I love the escapism that music gives you and that option to explore moods sonically. Over the years I have found both listening to and writing music has been something that has aided and embraced my mental health. Sometimes I enjoy getting lost in the melancholy of certain music as much I love the instant desire to dance to other music.
・・
I’ve drawn so much comfort from the words of so many of my favourite artists over the years and from those early years of teen angst up to now, I still like to shake my 44 year old bones as much as I did then and those words still resonate.
