Christmas Cards!

Look what came! My Christmas cards! I am so happy with them, they are printed so nicely. They are all made of recycled card and come with lovely brown parcel paper envelopes. The inside has a nice snowy pattern without any text, I left it blank mainly because I hate tacky lines in cards and its always much nicer to write what you really feel! On the back there is a little profile of each character and my little logo, I love it! What do you guys think? If anyone is interested you can buy them here!

Festival Signs

Hello guys, sorry about the lack of action recently, I have been pretty busy with this and that. Plus with Christmas coming up I have had to work, A LOT. Last week I got some time to design the posters for the stall Beth and I will be setting up over The Dickens Festival on the 2nd of December. I have to say, this is the first time I have really had a play with typography but I am really pleased with them, I used the same basic design for both of us but changed the themes ever so slightly. I got the signs printed up at work and they look great, Beth was really happy with them, I cant wait to get them set up next week! Im feeling a bit under the weather at the moment so fingers crossed Im feeling better by then. There will be lots of photos of the day, exciting exciting exciting!

What do you think?

New Tattoo!

I got a new tattoo at the weekend, see?

Me and my sister from another mister Lorna got matching tattoos cos we are that dorky. It was a plan we came up with a couple of weeks ago while very drunk, but we actually carried it out at a more sober time. That's friendship for you. 

Guest post: Darth Pickles on things we fucking hate.

Evening guys, Aarika from Darth Pickles is the latest add an instalment of rage to the things we fucking hate series. She had a lot of rage and couldn't stick to one subject, so here she is with 5 things she fucking hates!

Maybe I'm easily annoyed, but I couldn't pick just one thing, so I decided to go with "5 things that really pluck at my nerves." 

1. I know we just came through the election and all, but I am so incredibly tired of the ten miles of political propaganda I have to scroll though on my facebook/tumblr/twitter feed. I also can't help feeling like every one of those posted is a passive aggressive attempt at trolling, because everyone that posts one is just hoping, even if it's a teeny, tiny bit, that someone will have the audacity to challenge or disagree with them. 

2. "Homophobes." I AM QUOTING HERE, but stop calling it "homophobia." You are not afraid of anything, you're just an intolerant douchebag. 

3. People that don't understand the difference between indoor and outdoor voice. Children AND adults. Seriously, regulate your volume.

4. Unibrows. Seriously?! Get yourself some tweezers and handle that caterpillar situation on your face ASAP. 

5. Juggalos. I really, really try to be tolerant of others and stand by "to each his own" but honestly, anyone who has ever donned a hatchet man should probably just be wiped off the planet.

Christmas stuff!

I'm excited boys and girls. On the 2nd of December myself and Bethany from ThoseBowTimes are holding a stall in the town of Rochester over The Dickens Festival. The Dickens Festival happens every year, Rochester people are cray cray, they dress up like they're from Dickensian times and just chill up and down the high street for a few days. Charles Dickens was from the area, so yeah, they aren't just totally mental, they have a reason. Beth and I will be selling a wee selection of goods, Beth will obviously be rocking her amazing bows and I am currently designing a set of Christmas cards to sell. I really really really cant wait! We are going to have such an awesome day, we'll be taking lots of pictures so you can see just how awesome we are! Here is a sneak peak of what I have come up with so far, I will also be selling these online so stay tuned. 

I've got some 'splainin' to do.

Hello guys, I kind of owe you all an apology. I haven't posted for quite some time and I need to explain why. Last week the final court trial over my mums death took place, for 3 days my family and I had to sit in a room with the guy, see all the evidence, statements, and hear details which, to be honest, I wish I didn't hear. It left everything feeling pretty fresh and it knocked me back. Anyway, basically, the guy was found not guilty of death by careless driving. Which to me, doesn't make sense, he killed someone because he wasn't paying attention... surely that is "death by careless driving", no? I could go on and on about how the justice system and how its not fair but I would only make myself angry and upset. If he had been found guilty I still wouldn't feel any better, it wouldn't make the loss of my mum any less real. It wouldn't change a fucking thing. I just have to hope that he is human enough to understand what he did and hopefully he will never make a mistake like that again. An apology would have been nice, but I doubt we will ever get one. The papers have been around and it has been nice to get our story out, even if he wasn't found guilty, I think people should know. I just want to thank everyone who has helped me and my family through this last year. Friends or strangers. The kindness of people has made everything easier to bare. Thank you all.

and the winner is... Olga! (Wassupbrothers)!!

So here it is, the finished portrait of the competition winner, Olga! You may have seen her blog or her etsy shop, she makes these amazing little owls. (I want one so bad) I had to include one! Thanks so much to everyone who entered! I hope to do one again soon.
