Dr Sketchy Nottingham - August 2012

As you may already know, I co-host the Nottigham branch of Dr Sketchy's Anti Art School with my good pal Scarlett Daggers. Saturday was our 3rd Birthday! I can't believe it's been so long! We were joined by singing sensation Coco Malone and burlesque divas Marianne Cheesecake and Eliza Delite. Here are a few photos from Saturday's show, taken by the fabulous Martyn Boston of Nomad Photography.

It's always a pleasure running Dr Sketchy, although we always have lots new people in our audience, the atmosphere feels to me like a group of old friends getting together and we always have so much banter and giggles with the performers, some are old friends and some become new friends!

After the show me, Maid Matthew,  Marianne Cheesecake and my work buddies (and talented artists) Leona Preston and Siobhan Sands treated ourselves to a Yo Sushi blow out (as is Dr Sketchy Notts tradition - much salty food, wasabi and raw fish was consumed!) and then met back up with Scarlett, Eliza Delite and a couple of other familiar faces including Aislinn of Boo Boo Kitty Couture, Rose Desire (who has modelled at one of our past shows) and performer (and arty sketching regular at our show) Mimi Libertine! Mimi had been kind enough to invite us to a vintage fashion launch party at the Hopkinsons on Station Street. We had a fab time browsing vintage goodies and sipping cocktails!

After returning home we warmed up the turntable and had a little bop along to Coco Malones' band Root and the Groove Element's new EP over a cup of tea! Ahh a perfect day!

a little soon soon for Christmas but...

 

My Christmas digital scrapbooking kits have finally been released on Ideal World and will be released on Daisytrail.com in September.  I was working on these in February and now they've been released to give you plenty of time to make all your own sexy Christmas greetings cards, gift tags and table decorations.

My favourite kit is 'Retro' which is inspired by 1950s and 60's stylised printed graphics, created in ink and then coloured using a sponge paint texture to replicate an old fashioned screen-printed or letterpressed look. I've also created a detailed pencil 'Traditional' Victorian inspired kit and a 'Homebaked' kit full of real christmas cookies.


The kits are designed to be used in the software CraftArist which you can purchase here

A Brush with Burlesque

May 3rd - 13th some brand spanking new pieces of my artwork will be on display at East Gallery on London famous Brick Lane, as part of A Brush With Burlesque, a fabulous burlesque inspired exhibition hosted by Mark and Sarah Bell of Kinky and Quirky burlesque fame.  I'm in good company too alongside fabulous artists Becky Ryan, Kev Grey and Fiona Wilson (and Mark himself!) to name just a few. It's been a long time since I've taken part in any exhibitions so it's a real treat to be involved in this one.

Here's a sneak peek of my new work!
