scribble project

little bit of free time & fancy a doodle? try filling out the scribble project sheet. i've done one & it's nice for a bit of mindless scribbling. lisa, who's idea it was, is collecting her favourites & putting them out as a zine in the near future. you can download them near the bottom of the blog.

website

hi guys. i've just made a website for a book shop in auckland. i'd like to hear your feedback on it, no matter how negative or positive. i think it is a little bit too cluttered and the text on the right is messy now, but apart from that i have been working on it too much and can't look at it properly! it's pretty much out of my hands, but it's good to know what people think...

BARBIE SAYS SWAPSHOP!

Barbie Says Swapshop will give you a chance to REVAMP your wardrobe whilst escaping the clutches and monotony of the high street corporate dragons. With the credit crunch in full flow it can be a wise choice to hang onto those pennies for a rainy day, but you can still LOOK GREAT WITHOUT SPENDING A SNOWFLAKE.

Break free from mainstream fashions by bringing any old garments and accessories you have lying around in the house. Then exchange them, along with your memories, for something new and exciting!

Come along on Friday the 27th of February to the Deveron Arts Old Shop (Gaulds Greengrocers) on Bogie Street, Huntly (An hour north of Aberdeen). The fun starts at 7.30pm and everyone is welcome.

Give us a shout if your coming! xx

PRODUCTIVE

man, i wish i could be like this with my actual proper work.

i'm meeting with the former Miss Chloe James this week so i've got her on the brain.

more of the same thing

get your thinking caps on MATIES.

i'm just experimenting with ways to get it up without the colour format changing. hmmmm, can't work out the logic behind it.

it's your favourite time of the month...

YES. ANOTHER AS WE SPEAK.

the usual: if you have vids then send them in. however, i do realise this may not be appealing to many of you so i think i now have something more up your wonderful illustration mind's street...

at the next As We Speak there will be a stall at the night with artists books (for flicking through and maybe even buying) run by Now Now, so if that's something you think you might be interested in getting involved in HOLLER in my direction. I know you talented peeps have lot's of wonderful drawings kicking about so get them down to us and you can maybe make some DOSH and get your work distributed among the masses in the process.

as before, it's free entry on the night if any of you fancy joining us for some FUN antics, and this time Cathy will do our best not to cock up the home baking...

new poster by moi

yes. i have been productive for a change!

does anybody have any ideas for this? we are going to have the lease of an empty shop in glesga for a week and we're looking to fill it up with lot's of cool one day projects. everything from posters and drawings on display, bands playing, some wanky performance, diy discos and art zine shops. we're looking for your proposals - maybe of you want to get together and do something?

if you've got any questions then fire them onto Nads, Cathy or moi at the nownow email address. Will anybody be getting involved?

i like your style

Hey guys, it's been absolutely ages since I've blogged I know but here I am again! just finished uploading scans of this sketchbook project Jen and I where doing, hop on over to my blog to have a look if you would, and let me know what you think.

No tequila just yet...

My Mexican adventure has been postponed for this year. Now off to live in Madrid and Aupair for 10months, learn the Spanish lingo in prep for my Mehico City dream living plan.

Leaving from the start of March so hopefully we can have a wee reunion before then.
