My graduate show at Plymouth College of Art is fast approaching, me and my course mates are currently in the busy process of setting everything up for it. It would be lovely if you were free and wanted to pop along and see it, it's open to the public from Saturday 22nd June until Thursday 27th June 2013. Opening hours: 10am-3pm on Saturday and 10am-6pm Monday-Thursday (closed Sunday). There will be work from all the departments across the college to see.

Owl illustrations





Here I have taken the owl character design from my illustrated alphabet and drawn a few different variations of it. I really like them and am hoping to make them into a repeat pattern of some kind.

Wedding Bunting Part 2






























Here are some photos of the finished bunting (unfortunately the photos of it hung up at the venue aren't fantastic) it reads Mr and Mrs Cobbin and has hearts to separate the words. It took ages to complete but I think it was worth it in the end :-)
