Katie's First Solo Show!

Some images from my first solo show at Urban Coffee Company, Church Street, Birmingham.

It's for the next month so and have a nose and a super lovely coffee.

Lets get this 'show on the road.'

This week we've all been getting ready for our Graduate show, putting up boards, painting, framing and all that other busy work which is required!

It won't be long now (less than 24 hours) until our show will be unfurled to the public!

We also have a super massive hooray for Jasmine Hortop and Joe Taylor who have been nominated for awards! The awards are organised and hosted by our university, Birmingham City, and award students with super mad skills! Good luck you two :D

Hello Hello

Hello lovely people!

I've been trying to keep myself busy after handing in my Final Major Project and my brain seemed terribly keen to draw some people looking at lemurs.

My Graduate Show (and that of pretty much all of Coffee Club) will be taking place next week!

11th of June until the 16th with the private view taking place on the 13th!

I also have another exhibition opening at Urban Coffee on Church Street, Birmingham on the 10th, this Sunday. Hope to see your lovely lovely faces there.

Well HEEEEY there!

I've been trying out ways of adding colour to my images whilst still keeping the sketchy feel.. really liking this method of painting onto acetate, could be a keeperrr! let me know what you guys think please :)

Buff Lino!

I've been experimenting with some lino cuts, all based around the theme of my latest project, mexican wrestling. All these images posted are of my own doing and copyrighted to myself.

Burglar rat!

Rattius?
If anyone can think of a name for this thieving rat please share!

I was feeling a bit lazy on photoshop - the rectangular patch bottom left hand corner!

Linostorm

Hello hello, for the first time ever I had a go at linocut today, so i thought i would share my process and final with you. Don't worry guys, its short.

1) A little sketch of my idea draw directly onto lino

2) cutting out liberal amounts like a madman with a hate for underlay

3) Inking up my lino slab with oodles of gorgeous cyan ink

4) The final image on paper, now we wait 3 days for this fella to dry

5) Gloat on bloodspot for all to see

Exhibition? Hooray

As part of 'BOOM BOOM PRINT ROOM' I got to have a little section for my 'Biscuity Showers' poster. Woo and Yay!

Sea Creature

A little titbit from my current project.

Everyone Link Arms

Behold, the octopi, linking arms

until they die.
