Doodlezania - The homeland.

Apologies for the delay. But I'm a bit of a couch potato on vacation. (Insert a puppy dog face here). I'm pretty floored by the Gutenbergs. Just got my copy, lets just say, that that copy made my smile reach my brain- in a very literal way. If you don’t know about the Gutenbergs its a magazine devoted to ‘illustrators and their surroundings’, a cross between studio culture and doodles.It's lovely to read the interviews with illustrators about their working lives, and some really exciting work is showcased too. Subscribe! you won’t regret it !

Another really amazing illustration magazine is Varoom. The 21st Century has chosen illustration to be its defining art form, and Varoom is the perfect platform. The award-winning contemporary illustration magazine, relaunchs this summer with a fantastic new design and expanded editorial content. It correctly documents, reports, analyzes and showcases new illustrative talent. It also has leading illustrators drop their comments on contemporary work of illustration in modern society as well as have their own work featured. Varoom has been one of my personal favourites, to have your work published in either of these (or my other illustrative favourites) is a personal goal :D

The magazines feature works of artists such as Matthew Rose, who did a really famous junk piece illustration in 2008. With all the current news of doom and gloom, what better way to celebrate the seemingly imminent apocalypse with this print by Matthew Rose entitled The End of the World? It's based on an original collage (Junk-2008) which juxtaposes pop art style images found on the street or in junk stores to create a confusing and disturbing, but also fascinating, piece.

Below are the few illustrations/doodles I've been doing in my spare time- hint hint : loner child, all time is spare time.

doodle print.

doodle print that i re-drew on a bag that I stitched and made from scratch. Yes, I do take pride in knowing how to stitch up a bag, considering that 3 days ago, i couldn't even thread the needle right.

Next post would include pictures from my school magazine, and the cover, which was illustrated and designed by me. And also, the illustrative elements inside. Cannot wait for the next post ! yaaayy !!

Pictures of the day-

Nothing depicts spirit as perfectly as this picture does. The pure joy it gives me ! Its got a deeper, more significant meaning than just what the eyes see. Spirit and hope, and a glint of joy. Perfect blend.

When people fail, dead people help. Love yah C-blud. (Yes, me and Charlotte Brontë are tight) xx
