Im currently working on a project with my buddy Josephine, and our inspiration has been the cross sections of tropical fruits... anyways i quite like the stencils from our sketchbook, so heres a few i drew x

summer sketchbook

During summer i attended a series of mini woekshops oranised by 'futurising' where i got this free 

lil sketchbook ^_^

sucka for a cover

i have a ever growing love for narrative and an undercover love for book covers, i unashamedly have bought books because of there cover :-s      oh well...

anyways here is this lil number i purchased from liberty (Carnarby street) on the highest floor in the darkest corner, i discovered a shelf filled with redesigned limited edition penguin classics.

femininity

So im currently taking part in an exhibition that is a collaboration between writers and illustrators

and this was my initial character that someone ended up writing a piece about.

Exhibition

Beddow 'n' Battini 

20th-23rd January

61 Ewer street, Southwark, London, SE1 0NR

Explanation

i guess its quite surreal in a way but i combined all the elements and aspects

i enjoy drawing, hair,lines, eyes and flowers lol... 

i chose the flowers as i love what each flower has the ability to represent and portray, also 

i believe they are the epitome of femininity *cliche* but besides this there was no

real thought behind it... 

i just wanted to create something beautiful... everything else came after which is the beauty of creativity

Thoughts

unusual for me to draw closed eyes, but i thinkt they are quite fitting, and add an element of peace...

the lines and their random intertwining nature  add an extra depth, uncertainty, and confusion,

but ultimately there is something quite interesting and untamable about them.. its like 

i wanna know what she is thinking....

My very little, very lovely sewing machine

Letter press!!

I hate pricing my work *sighs*

pack of greeting cards

It's Autumn Again by Andrea Rieck

It's Autumn Again by Andrea Rieck

Tube map.... revisited

Ok so i have previously carried out a project on the tube map, using the original colours and layout, but for my 'Plan Your Life' project, i thought it would be the perfect representation of my future (a structured mess).... so i basically took a pic of the original painting i did, played around with it a bit on photoshop to make it this colour, then printed the whole thing out on 16 individually cut pieces of brown paper, then pieced it back together..... and i must say i quite like the end result

Clothing Collection...

Im sure a lot of you have received slips through your door about clothing collection that is an organisation that collects clothes for charities..... or if your like me you havn't lol, either way i was approached by a friend to design a new flyer for clothing collection, i presented four different designs, and this is my fave x
