'Magpie' Badge Series



A new series of badge sets celebrating things that are shiny or glittery! Each 4-badge set is based on a different colour and the trial run is currently 3 of each set. Pure prettiness is the focus here!

Finished a trial run with my badge maker, using some original drawings on brown paper.
I haven't drawn any hooded characters for a while; I kinda miss it :) I'm aiming to do a numbered set of hand-drawn badges, so that they're one-of-a-kind, and will also produce some regular printed badges as well. :)

Starting Again

Since September I've been studying Illustration at Falmouth University. It's a manic and creativly exhausting time but I'm really enjoying it. Focusing on my studies and dealing with many other creative people has really encouraged my passion for drawing.

However, I have decided that I can no longer ignore this blog! I'll be posting up sketches, doodles and artwork, and am currently developing some small-scale products that will be available to sell soon (my current passion is badges, of which I am an avid collector).

Needless to say, it's time to bring this blog back to life!

Artsfest End

I am definitely tuckered out after such a fun weekend at Artsfest! I met loads of nice people, chatted and had a good time, and also sold some work, so it was a great success. Thank you to all of you who liked my work enough to buy it!

I'll be working on the blog a bit more so there'll be more artwork up soon, and I still have some prints left over so I'll going to put them in packs if anybody is interested. They'll be up on the 'products' page. Pictures will follow, I'm just typing this on a laptop without easy access to them, so keep checking back!

There's also been some interest in commissioning work. If you want anything done, please e-mail me (see my contact page). At a rough estimate, a colour A4 original is going to be about £30, and a black and white around £20-£25. But like I said, drop me a line and I'll work something out :)

Of course, if you just want to say hi you're welcome to do so as well!

Just a quick note to say that while there isn't much in the way of images up here right now, I'll be uploading them on Monday as I'm busy sorting out things for Artsfest.

Speaking of which, the first day was lots of fun! I met lots of nice people and sold quite a bit of what I'd brought with me, so I'm pleased to find that people like my work! If anyone wanted something that had already sold, or wanted to comission a piece, please just drop me a line via e-mail and I will gladly reply! :)

Now I'm off to get back to work :)

Night before Artsfest

Just about got everything ready for Artsfest. Had a bit of a malfunction with some of the T-shirts and I'm not happy with the modpens so they'll be left at home - only about 8 T-shirts are available to buy over the weekend (and at reduced price!). Sadly it seems that time has simply gotten away from me.

However there are plenty of prints and originals, many in nice frames, so feel free to drop by! I'll be doing some work there on the day as well, so I'm taking requests :) I hope people will like what they see and buy! This is my first actual attempt to sell any of my work so I think I'm understandably nervous.

Hopefully all will go well and I shall update after Saturday!

Design Blog

Hello!

This blog was created by me to keep track of and give information about my artwork and designs. My name is Georgina and I am currently working on a variety of projects. Chief among them at this time are products for Birmingham Artsfest 2010, where I am hosting a small stand as part of the 'Art On The Rails'.

For this I have tailored some of my designs and have been hand-painting them on to t-shirts. I have also been working on various prints and original pieces of artwork, as well as hand-made keyrings and stickers.

In regards to the clothing, as I am an independent designer and will have a limited audience, I am only producing a small number of designs and in limited sizes - these being medium and large in both male and female. However, I am always happy to custom-make a shirt for anyone; please e-mail me (see contact details).

I am also eager to hear what people think of my work, so please feel free to leave a comment!

Happy browsing!
Georgina
