Sketches

With the new semester looming, I feel like I need to get back in the game and brush up on my drawing skills, so here are two quick(ish) drawings I did today. They were a lovely break amidst the current flurry of packing for my trip back to university on Monday. It's crazy how much I am trying to fit into one suitcase and a rucksack. Ugh.

Font Galore!

So these days my new addiction is design typography (a.k.a really cool fonts), and I have slowed my laptop down considerably from treating myself to some rather lovely free font downloads.
It's amazing, just pop the installed lettering onto a photo (the photo's below are all my own) and viola, you have a great looking image!

Feel Good Drinks

Here are my efforts for the 'Feel Good Drinks' competition brief I came across on my university email. I loved creating letters out of the (many many) fruits found in the drinks; the hard part was the design and layout which, being an illustrator, I'm not so good at. But I got through the layer locking, Photo-shop nightmares and am happy with the sunny, bright, and - hopefully - eye pleasing end result!

  

Belgium

This summer I worked in Belgium as a teacher and activity leader at an English language school. At weekends I was able to visit different parts of Belgium as well as neighbouring countries such as Germany and Luxembourg. It was a great summer, and I would love to see even more of Belgium one day! Here are a few photos from my travels; sketchbook drawings are to follow shortly...
