'Fear Of Blindness'
So this is my latest piece 'Fear Of Blindness' pretty self explanitory really!
Being blind is my biggest fear, I wanted this piece to be 'cringeworthy' or to evoke some sort of reaction. This is the first time an idea came out how I invisioned which is very rare for me!
I'm not sure what I want to print this piece onto - I'm thinking it would look good in white on charcoal grey tees, or white onto black totes...for some reason I think it might be too much to have this printed in white on black tees :S which is what I'm about really...black and white....
and charcoal?!
Gonna give that some thought I think.

New Design ^_^
Its been a busy few weeks over xmas, tbh I'm glad its gone by so fast so I can get back on with my artwork and plans for my shop!
Though I am pleased that this Christmas has brought me a new pair of DM's. My feet will no longer be wet. Also it was good to see my folks n' eat well...
I've been spending the last week drawing up a new design for my clothing range. Tho...currently I cant afford a 'range' so I'm starting off with hoodies...everyones basic staple! Later, hopefully, I hope to branch out into Tee's,'wifebeaters' and panties. (I got a dirty idea for those ^_~)
Here is a sneeky peek of the design for the hoodies...
Still gotta add in some wasps and light rays but its really coming along ^_^
Also spent the entire evening yesterday making up my goody bags - When my store goes live you will be able to get these for free when you buy a print in my store or £2.50 each.
I have over 100 of them waiting in a box in the corner of the room lol. Took me 3 hours to get them all just right! x2 stickers, 1 badge and x2 mints.
Glad I've got that part done now though because now I can focus on knocking out some designs, and getting my past artwork printed up in more limited batches.
Lookin forward to what the coming weeks have to hold!
Plus....the mess of course ^_~

Tote Bags...
Okay! So here we go a proper update ^_^
Yesterday was a long but productive day - started by walking / taking a bus across the city to print off some accetates, came back into the city and started work on my first ever tote bags...
Stated off pressing them flat for a perfect crisp base to print onto...
Exposed the screen...
And got to work! ....
'Take Flight' is the design I chose....
Works really well on the fabric ^_^
Also printed up some OPAL 'O' tote bags to give away for free with my large prints...
Last week I ordered some bulk stickers - they came through this morning :D
These and the badges will be available to purchase from my online store (yet to be launched) and included in my free goody bag for those who purchase large prints!
I finally purchased the colours for my 'GUN!' piece this afternoon - Sour Apple (lime green) Bubble Gum (Baby Pink) Grape (Purple) and Bananna! On track to printing those babies up in early Jan hopefully for the shop reveal in early Feb.
T - Shirts and Wife beaters next...
Bring it on!

Why So Slow!?
Well....
I've been working every hour I can get to save up enough money for screenprinting inks, hire time at the printing studio and clothing to print onto! So I havent been sitting on my arse doing nothing! ^_~ Apart from editing of course....many MANY cups of tea went down.
Its been a hectic month but I now have enough money to start printing up some more stock ^_^
Tuesday evening I'll be printing the first batch of black tote bags for the store (of which has been upgraded to a BIG CARTEL instead of an ETSY store!) Cleaner - crisper and I get my own checkout button (woo!)
Next month I hope to start taking images of the limited prints I have in stock, and the tote bags for the store, I'm really looking forward to getting those up in the shop, I hope the location I've decided on works for the images :S gotta sort me out some props...
Sam at SHhhh! Art Collective, posted a teaser of my work on his Blog:

...generally getting ready for the big reveal! - Got some more prints to get on and do, and some Tees and I'll be ready! I'm scared and excited to see the outcome but hopefully it will really get this ball rolling! Really looking forward to being involved in the 11 artists project and becoming involved with the artistic familly (=^_^=)
Reveal is getting closer!

Meh...
I got a couple of projects I'm working on atm, a bunch of idea's that incorporate tentacles and body parts, sea creatures and eels.
Trying to do some more rank / disgusting / weird pieces...
Also had my first tattoo request...its coming along nicely though fitting her orginal tattoo into the design is proving difficult. Nearly there though... Humming birds, lillies and honeysuckles with ribbon...
As much as I try to get away from drawing them, hands are currently in all the ideas I want to do....
.... I cant draw hands.
