Listography

When I went to New York last week I went to this boutique called Fred Flare. I've been in love with their website for ages but they don't ship to the UK so when I was there I decided to track down their only shop, which was in Brooklyn. The shop itself is to die for let alone the things they sell. I bought two beautiful bird necklaces, some toothy earrings, a Holy Golightly sleeping mask and this book. It's called 'Listography: Your Life In Lists' and it's awesome for nerdy obsessives like me. The titles of the lists are already included but you just get to make friggin lists and I do love lists. I guess it's sort of autobiographical and I'll look back on it in a few years and think 'I was an oddball in 2009'. There's really ace illustrations inside too. Here are some of the pages I have written in...

Congraaaaaatulations.

I got sent this through the post today. I love how the names on it are Lowri, Lisa and Sarah :D

SMART

I didn't think I'd ever go back to the Smart brief cause I had no idea what I was doing. But, last night I got a bit inspired and came up with a poster idea. The typeface is called Federation Classic. Any excuse right?

Let's change that F to an E.

I haven't been able to do much work while being back with my parents cause I've been needing to do CAD work and I don't have the bloody programmes for it. Last term, I had to do a brochure to promote ourselves and our art and I got an F in it, which was well deserved I think cause it was shite.
I decided to draw myself today to put on the cover of the new and improved brochure. I learned my lesson after colouring in Photoshop last time, and that's to make sure there's no friggin gaps in my lines.
Anyway, I like this. I will own those glasses once I get back to Leicester and raid Specsavers. Just you wait.

Unlike Me

I was really bored last night and so I drew something. I always like drawing me, Sarah and Lisa cause we all look really different from each other so it's a bit more interesting. I actually could not be bothered to colour in with my felt pens (I know, shocking) so I coloured it in photoshop instead for the first time ever. I like Lisa's green jumper, I don't have a pen that colour. Also, I'm sorry that the eyes are seriously fucked up.

Geeky Dreamboats

I bought this book called 'Geeky Dreamboats: A Celebration' the other day. I swear, this book was made for me. The title alone; I love geeks and I use the word dreamboat!

Inside is even better. 57 lovely dreamboats (yes, I counted) to look at with facts about them on the side. There are a few people that should have been included that aren't in there though such as Seth Green and Zach Quinto but maybe they can be in Geeky Dreamboats Part II.
I've scanned in my top 10 dreamboats from the book but there are other great ones as well...Beck, Wes Anderson, McLovin, Rivers Cuomo, Barack Obama, Kanye West, Topher Grace, Jake Gyllenhaal, Simon Pegg...trust me, it's good.
So here are my Top 10, yes Jemaine and Bret are allowed to be counted as one cause how can you resist a man/man/lady threesome with promise of acid?
