Project in progress

In America they say progress differently.  It's odd. But if you had asked me this time last year if I would be sat on a sofa in Chicago stuffing Twinkies in my mouth and drinking lemonade (it's different here...no bubbles...) out of a dinosaur shaped sippy cup I would have told you to bugger off.

So what does progress look like?  Progress looks like the cardboard skeleton of a mask.  Sarah took some pictures of me hacking away at the cardboard armed with left-handed (I am right-handed) scissors and a roll of sticky tape.  It was just like Blue Peter.

This mask? It's going to be AMAZING!

Chicago Zine Fest 2012

If you're in Chicago for March 9th-10th then come and say hello. I'll be at table C13 and will have work from the lovely Wai Wai Pang and Ed Cheverton.  You know you want to!

A beautiful hand-made gift

So I turned 22 today and just had to share the incredible package that was waiting for me in the post room. The incredibly talented Wai Wai Pang and Edward Cheverton put it together.  I love them.

It included that calendar I was nagging you to buy (go buy it), some handmade comics, letters, a card, a selection of super sweet little gifts, an insane jazz CD that Ed created and a whole tonne of confetti.  Oh and finger puppets.  If I've forgotten anything then I am sorry - but it was so wonderful I took pictures of it all.


Happy Birthday to me,

Ladies Night!

I am really excited to share this little project I am working on.  I spoke to the manager, the lovely Matt, of Graham Crackers Loop store and asked if they had any sort of ladies night coming up. When he answered no and that it was something they would be interested in I knew straight away that it was something I had to get involved in.


And here it is!


This pretty little poster was designed by the lovely Edward Cheverton and I am so thrilled with it.


There is going to be cupcakes, conversation and comics!  A perfect environment for hardcore comic book fans or people just interested in trying something new.


Hopefully the night will go without a hitch.
See you there?

HAPPY SINGLES AWARENESS DAY

Nah, I'm just yanking yer chain.  Happy Valentines day.  I hope you are all suitably loved up.  And I mean that.  Spend it with a friend, let them know you love them.  Or family. Who's your valentine?

My sweetheart sent this cutey of a card.  It's hand made and came all the way from England so I am tickled pink. I'd show you inside but it's personal, kay!

Welcome to America

I recently went for an explore with my new pals.  We went for burritos, visited some vintage shops and took a whole load of pictures.  It was such a nice day, beautiful lighting, and I had a brilliant time.  Here are some photos.

And if you were wondering...yes...that was Michael Jackson you saw.

A photo adventure

When I moved to Chicago a dear friend of mine, Alex, set me a challenge.  She gave me a list of places that I must visit and photograph during me time here.  It is the perfect excuse to explore my new neighbourhood and to show off my brand new cursive handwriting.
Here's the list.

As you can see I have found The Cheesecake Factory, Water Tower Place and the Chicago Theatre. 


I am so lucky to have friends who keep in touch while I am away.  I miss you all.
