Soccer Fiend

2011-07-02T22:23:00.000-07:00

I was on ffffound and found these awesome soccer illustrations! Seeing as I'm a bit of a soccer fiend (e.g. waking up at odd hours when the World Cup was on, making bets I would never win, crying when Brazil didn't make it to the finals of said World Cup... etc.) I thought these were very cool!

Wedding Invites - Harder then it looks...

2011-06-28T03:39:00.000-07:00

My sister's wedding is coming up and the theme is yellow so since I'm maid of honour, one has got to shoot it outta the park so to speak. I really want the bottom of the dress to look like this... Luuustttt...

I'm stuck on a new brief... Actually more like not wanting to do the new brief. Lets recap, I'm stuck on my brief and I don't want to do it. All I have is 'once there was a girl called Ella and she had an iguana called bongo'. Fantastic. But I do know that she lives in a beautiful country house... Check out my mood board. I find that gathering images helps.... Sometimes.
