Patterns!

 April has been a fairly chaotic month- I've won a runner up prize for the Prince's Trust competition that I entered back in January- so there we go. An exhibition was going to be held on June the 8th in Shoreditch, but thanks to Theresa May's announcement, that has been postponed (possibly until the end of the summer).

I've also been designing more country themed patterns (& other designs), I will be opening up a shop on a country themed website set up my Mia Woodford, called 'By a Country Mile.'

British Butterfly pattern

I designed this for a Prince's Trust retail brief. I don't have any expectation of winning, but it did get me focused on completing another project throughout the end of December and the very start of January. The butterflies were originally graphite pencil sketches that I then took into Photoshop, and did my thing with colouring them in. What frustrates me about this is that it always takes much MUCH longer than you'd expect. Even after doing an illustration degree I don't expect it to take as long as it does. I guess that all I can hope for is that it pays off!
