Mixed media drawing.

Some drawings developed from the tiny synesthesia sketchbook. Mixed media on water colour paper using graphite, semi transparent paper, fineliner, pencil...

These drawings are A4, but could be developed into larger compositions or ideas for suface decoration for leather.

Another sketchbook

Some pages from a textile sketchbook with mixed media imagery based on natural forms using monoprint, water colour and fine liners. I wanted to do something that was bold like Marimekko and influenced by my synesthesia drawings. I'd like to develop these further into a combination of screen print, embroidery and applique on leather.

Working textile design sketchbook

Here are some pages from the sketchbook I have been using on and off for the past three years to help generate ideas for the accessories I make.
 There are a few fashion illustration ideas in there and some drawings of birds and a fawn that were never developed into anything...

Christmas 2010 tiny Synesthesia sketchbook.

My friend Abbi bought me a tiny sketchbook for Christmas and to try and escape the strange boredom that only occurs at Christmas (when there's lots to do, none of it particularly engaging) I decided to fill it with drawing inspired by my synesthesia. So I put my headphones on and listened to a bit of Stereolab, Broadcast and Luke Vibert and did some drawing. I used an automatic pencil and fineliners for most of them, there's a bit of collage from a Christmas card envelope in there too. Some of the pages have holes cut in them so you can see through to the next page and elements of other drawings become part of the new ones...
