Music?




















What do you listen to when you're creating? Do you listen to anything at all?

Personally, I've just introduced myself to some awesome dubstep in the form of Zomby.

Find anything good lately?

Btw, The lady in the photo is Daphne Oram; made some fantastic early, experimental electronic music in the 40s. And she was British. :D

Tsarevich Ivan, Seryi Volk i Zhar-Ptitsa

So as previously mentioned, I did a selection of illustrations on the Russian folktale Ivan Tsarevich for my final college project in the summer.

I love the story, but I was disappointed that I couldn't quite capture it as I'd hoped. That aside, these are my favourite images from the set. Enjoy!

Bits from the sketchbook.

Finally scanned in some stuff from my current sketchbook!


I always have one on the go and take it practically everywhere. :) The one I have at the moment is a little bigger than what I usually work with but I like it all the same. There's no set theme, though I tend to doodle portraits quite often- not of anyone in particular.
















Though sometimes my college work will spill over into them. :) My last project was on illustrating Russian Folktales.
















I eventually settled on 'Ivan Tsarevitch, The Grey Wolf and The Firebird' and I may well put up the final illustrations in another post...

First post





Only brief, I'm afraid- haven't really done much since I finished my A-Level course last month.

Anyway, just a little something I did the other day on a whim. I like the style of it though; I think I might do some more like her. :)
