Through the post...

Last year I did an internship with Beyond the Valley in London. During my time there I worked on three designs which were used within their Spring/Summer 11 range. After seeing the collection in fabric I wanted to own a piece...
After work on my birthday I came across a parcel which I was not expecting..the guys down the shop had very kindly sent me up a sample piece of the animal print, in an over sized white tee, along with a bunch of basics too :) x

Here are a few of the pieces which are now on sale online and in store.

This is NUTS

So a few weeks back I get an email pop up in my inbox from a guy called Rich. He tells me that he came across me after googling the word "Crittercature". It turns out they were doing a back stage interview with Keith Lemon which included my critter sitting there in his dressing room. Rich informed me that my critter was to be part of the article for NUTS magazine!

I was so excited to hear that Mr Lemon is still a fan of my creation and that it has got pride of place in this piece.
Not only am I super chuffed to have my work in a magazine, it is in a mag which I never thought I could say I would be in!!

I'm in Nuts magazine, without loosing my clothes!

It is out now for this week, page 37 x

Romcom for IP1

After a very busy festive period I am back to illustrating for IP1 in the latest issue which is out now. There is some really useful information, tips and insights to careers within the creative industry in this quarter. I was included as a case study in the article "Creative Economy", where all of us seemed to agree the lack of cash is holding us back! After my rant about this there are a few illustrations of mine too.
"Romcom" (above) is my favourite piece of writing in this issue! Josh Russell is a top writer, and when the copy of this got sent over to me I was delighted to be asked to illustrate it! Pure comedy genius, slightly on the cringey side of what he put himself through but makes a great read! In fact, my illustrations supported two of my favourites down at IP1, the second being slick designer Emmanuel Ogundiran. Mr O is a third of our collective Immaginarium, who, fingers crossed, we will be putting on another show in the near future...

Pick up the new IP1 around Ippi for a gander.

Create for Cross

If you are in or about Norwich over the next week be sure to pop down to St Gregory's Church Gallery for a gander at some beautiful artworks.

I am amongst a bunch of artists exhibiting and auctioning off work all in aid of the Red Cross. There are some big names included in the show like the talented Rob Ryan and of course our favourite local man Mister Millerchip!

It is a secret auction so you can bid as little or as much as you want, buy a beautiful piece of art and help out a great cause all in the process...

We love Keith Lemon

Last week I got a phone call from the studio where Celebrity Juice is recorded. The woman informed me that my crittercature got to Mr Lemon himself and that he absolutely loved it! Not only this, but he wanted to have it on his show that night!!

Unfortunately they record two hours worth of material and only 33 minutes gets aired, my critter was in the hour and 28 minutes which was cut :(

The silver lining to it all, was not only did I find out that he got it and loved it, but the face book fan page also put a link up to my site with the crittercature!! Over 60 "likes"!! Result.

Double Trouble

Spent the evening doodling some cat faces which I layered up on some pages from an old book of animals. Underneath I decided to pop some pictures of the troublesome two that are Pixi's.... Pixi the 1st & Pixi the 2nd.

Sadly the affection from the 2nd is not as strong as it was from my Pixi, but she is entertaining as hell...some might even say dumb!! A cat that is crap at climbing trees, jumps into glass shower doors and enjoys sitting in sinks of water!!

White cats with black spots definitely rock.x

Keith Lemon Crittercature

Last night we stood in a cue for over two hours to possible be in the audience of the first show in the new Celebrity Juice series. We were maybe only 20 or so in front of the cut off point, so there must have been well over 100 that were turned away. The show was awsum, everyone in the audience seemed to be fans, genuinely laughing at everything. The man is a genius, in character the whole time from the moment he came through. I managed to get my crittercature of him to a member of staff who later told me he got it to Mr Lemon himself, so fingers crossed.

The new series starts tonight on ITV2 at 10:00. Go have a giggle, it's a gooden!!
