Merry Christmas! Free gift tags!


CHRISTMAS TAGZ FREE DOWNLOAD!

I made these little fun tags to put on all of my gifts but I thought it would be cool to make them available for all!

If skeletons and candy are your thing, and you just can't quite get over Halloweens recent departure for the year, then spruce up your presents ghastly presentation with these little beasts!

Simply download the file below and print out the A4 sheet containing the 4 tags.

I'd love to see pics if you use them! Send them across! sam_dunn@live.co.uk


Merry Christmas everyone!

Trances - The Alphament




This is the artwork for Trances first release, The Alphament.

It's already available on Itunes and is in the process of being printed to be sold as hard copies at their shows and in Japanese record stores, so I've been told! Exciting stuff!

Take a listen to them on Myspace - www.myspace.com/trancesmusic
A Vile Box of Monsters is my personal favourite!

Edit: Topic of Conversation is amazing too. Basically just listen to it all, it's worth it!

Collection Update


I've been collecting AFI stuff since about 2005 when I first found them. This is all the stuff I have to date, minus 5/6 T Shirts, but who cares about T shirts? Plus a stack load of magazines, a small amount can be seen in the first picture, but again, why I included these i'll never know, they aren't anything special.

I'd love the other two collectible figures (Heartbat and Articia if we're gunna get specific!) to make a set and also all of their albums on 12".

Also I wouldn't say no to the Nitro years box set on any colour vinyl, Dork EP, A Fly In The Ointment, All Hallows 7", The Days of The Phoenix EP, etc etc. Most of these things exceed my spending limit.

Christmas? Santa? Can you hear me?

Yeah


This is what I get for watching too many Jamie Oliver / Heston Blumenthal programs in one day and trying to be a clever chef(ess).

Fear Of Falling Stuff


T shirts and Christmas themed 2 colour posters!

First T Shirt Screen Print!




Continuing on from my Screen Printing journey over the last week I finally managed to Screen Print my first shirt today!

This is just a little Christmas present for my Dads band, Fear of Falling, a North-East Pop/Rock covers band.


It was harder than I thought to get these perfect. Some have turned out better than others but all in all it was an alright first attempt.

Oh and Black paint/White T shirts just don't mix with my clumsy hands.

Also the lovely student protest marched proudly past Saint Martins today as I was high up in the print room so I stopped to snap a quick picture.

Screen Printing diary






Well I've finally learned how to Screen Print!
I produced some 2 and 3 colour things for my project and experimented with different colouring techniques to fill in the background. I have numerous versions on different papers which I will show when they all dry.

I'm going to continue practicing and working on some stuff for this Hartlepool project I'm working on at uni then hopefully start printing my own posters/shirts and stuffz! Yay!

Seaside signs, boarded up homes and broken industry ♥

Dissertation


This is what has taken over all of my time for too long to remember.

It's called Dissertation.

I'm sick of reading/looking at it.

I just hope I do well!
Probably add more pictures once all of the final details are done, still need to print out the reading copy and add a note to that skateboard explaining why its even there.

I took these a while ago but just forgot to post them.
The EP print quality is so nice, it's one of those little card sleeves.

If you want to get your hands on both the CD and T shirt it's only going to cost you £8!
Message the band here for yours!

Generic Halloween post!


I painted my own skeleton costume for Halloween!

I then proceeded to walk around Wood Green with my boyfriend, the vampire and his sister, the witch. Got scared by someone not even dressed up, got asked to be in someones picture, got rained on, got paint all over myself, then decided to call it a night and have a spooky Chicken Tikka Masala.


Great success.

Life Drawing


Not working on too much at the moment, well, working on some secret stuff but that will have to be revealed later!

Just focusing on getting my dissertation finished and life drawing classes on Wednesday nights.

I think i've improved since last years efforts. I try and use pen now so I can't rub anything out which forces me to make better decisions about proportion!
