August 2022 Round Up

Morning everyone!

How's your August going so far? To be honest mines been pretty fucking amazing, buuuut I'm keeping the reason for that quiet for just now. I'm excited to share it with you all a little later though. 

Now I've teased you with that, here's a slightly less exciting update (still give it a read, there's some good things in there!)….

Youtube!

I've been making some process videos I hope you all like, and I'm planning on making some others about art and stuff.

If you have any suggestions for videos I should make let me know! And feel free to like and subscribe! Lolll.

The astute among you may have noticed that we've slipped past the 15th without the release of my new collection that I promised.

Well turns out I totally under estimated my timing, and now it will be released some time in the…

FALL! (I'll let you know the date when I'm absolutely certain)

I've added a new floral print to my store!!

And labelled all of the products that will be taken off sale when the new collection launches, so if you want to grab something before it's gone now's your chance!

Updated e-book!

I also updated my Floral Sketchbook Vol. 1 with 5 fully finished designs with process steps! This e-book already had 70 pages of floral sketches, so it's quite the bumper pack now.

My client Tori graciously let me share the step by step process of how I created her design with my patrons this month.

There's both an explanantion with photos, and a timelapse video.

Plus, there will be another new video coming out shortly.

Black Cloud Tattoos asked me to make another mural in the washroom! So when you're in the studio next check it out!

I went on a lovely cabin trip with my friend Stacey.

We swam and paddle boarded, ate toasted marshmallows, and drank tequila. It was glorious.

I'm back in the UK now! I know it seems like all I'm doing this year is taking breaks, but I'm making up for the last two years of lockdown, lol.

Plus all the weddings were delayed so I'll be attending those. Excited for this one, congrats Elliott and Siobhan!

I'll be back in mid September so there might not be another round up for a while!

THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR
Uuuuuurgh sooooooo good!

THE RUNAWAY TOUR // DOCU
Obviously watched the Post Malone doc. I mean, it's mostly tour footage...documentary is a bit of a stretch imo, but still thoroughly enjoyed it.

• Salman Rushdie was horrifically attacked on stage (the power of words)
• Take a look at Jon Carling's drawings, they're beautiful
• There is a Shepard Fairy retrospective in Seoul I would love to go to 
• David Bowie's mugshot was sold 
• The Academy apologies to Sacheen Littlefeather (50 years late)
• Anyone else love moths 

If you want to see the my tattoos, check out my social media. Instagram is the best place to see the newest and latest.

And as always, thanks for being interested in what I do!
