It's been a while.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the last year I have got engaged, been to Dubai, got a new job, moved out, moved into my very first home and somewhere along those lines, lost my will to draw and be creative. Now I feel just about ready to get back on the saddle and get stuck in.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just where to start? Well i have set myself the task of designing my wedding stationery, which I hope will be less stress and more fun, and totally worth it in the long run.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our theme is pretty boho vintage, so I was thinking water colour with my usual patterny goodness.</span><br />

Originally I was planning on selling things I made. While looking at some of the beautiful blogs and websites some of you have created I thought, why not build a shop where I could source some beautifully designed and made goods that you have created and sell them. This way you earn some money and your work is being seen, with out the hassle of dealing with the post office and admin side of things. I will also have a featured page with profiles of artists/designers/illustrators who's work I stock. I think this could work out to be a little community, where you can find inspiration from fellow creatives!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">At the moment I am looking for beautifully made illustrated gift cards, prints, fashion items, jewellery etc. to stock in my shop. If you are interested please send me an email with your blog/website showcasing some of your work and i'll be in touch with all the boring details! </span><br />

This was a huge decision, as reality kicks in and you realise that you are completely relying on yourself. There will be no guaranteed wage at the end of the month. You only get paid if you manage to get work.... Who ever said that it's easy, well, they were lying!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's a slow process of building up a portfolio with a variety of subject matter. At the end of the day you want to show that you can do 'anything'. Right? I have been trying to get more editorial illustration in my portfolio, as these types of work tend to be small quick jobs that can just cover gaps between bigger commissions. (you get some pocket money!) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My biggest obstacle is trying to figure out who I need to contact and where to send my work to. Also having the confidence to get in contact with the various publishers etc. I think I have improved confidence wise, but at the same time freelancing can be a lonely process. You need those good old days of the studio </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">crits</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> you had at university, just to get a different perspective on your work. I am currently trying to get illustrators and designers in the Cambridge (every where really!) area to just start a community, whether its a monthly catch up where we can have a coffee and just talk about what everyone is up to, or just get together and network. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This next month has a few things lined up (fingers crossed). As hard as it's been, so far I don't regret my decision! it's been the freedom i needed to really explore different creative routes and just take each day as it comes. I feel rather excited about the future.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> I would love to hear what all you illustrators / </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">creatives</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> are doing at the moment.

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So here is another illustration I did for a review on the Ladytron gig, for <a href="http://www.ameliasmagazine.com/music/ladytron-at-the-hmv-forum-live-review/2011/06/14/">Amelia's magazine</a>. The photos I used as a reference, had a strong sense of mood and atmosphere and I tried to bring that alive in my illustration with colour and depth.</span><br />

It is a beautiful bit of cinema. (i'm not sure i could really say i enjoyed it) I can say that it was striking and definitely inspired me to get the paints out. I found this still from the film and i think it shows the black Swan finally breaking free. Also you should all check out Little White Lies cover for Black Swan Issue.

So she asked me to do an illustration of her, seeing as she is the crafty type too (co-member of The Line UP).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">here is my first illustration from my cowboys & Indian designs. I hope you like him. I want to get him printed onto tote bags and cushion covers. Then maybe i shall hand embellish with feathers and beads?! anything is possible. I am currenty drawing a little cow boy to go with him...... I want to have a wild horses pattern too. I love the rusty brown and blue in this image.....this may be the colour flow through-out the designs. What do you think?</span><br />

Its a brilliant western film. Well today it has inspired me in a few personal projects. I have always had an interest in the American West, ever since my school days sitting in history, listening to Mrs Holeness (my brilliant History teacher) go into great detail about what it was like to travel miles upon miles, with all your worldly possessions stacked into your wagon. With just the hope of a better life in the West. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This in turn would send me into a day dream imagining i was a Native American watching all of these strange people entering my territory. I have kept this same exciting/mysterious view of the Native American culture. Hence my new project..... I am doing Cow boy & Indian illustrations, which hopefully i can get printed on to my own fabric and eventually make beautiful accessories for home and wear.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">this is by no means a small project, and, it may well take the rest of this year.....It will be soooo worth it though!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

(work wise i mean) Zoe Lines, a very talented graphic designer was feeling frustrated at the lack of creative freedom she gets at work. While Lynne Datson was struggling to find that step into going professional as an illustrator/designer. I was all of the above. So we sat and ate cake (of course) and brainstormed. What we came up with is---- The Line Up. </span><br />
