Painterly

If nothing else, it's important that you're having fun. (and if you can't draw a pair of glasses on her, the nose ain't right.)

Happy New Year everyone!

The Process

I came across a webcomic this weekend, and, while my initial reaction was something along the lines of "Wow, that's depressing" the more I thought about it the more I realised that my process is somewhat similar - to the extent that those awkward, negative emotions play a larger role in my creative process than I would like. But I guess it's all gravy if you can have a laugh at yourself in the end.

Italia!

So it was a couple of weeks ago, but went on a big 'ol family holiday to Italy. The Abruzzo region to be precise. Small villages draped across hill sides and tops, each with a castle to defend in some past age.

Blue skies, twisty ancient streets, wide golden beaches, stark dramatic mountains, lush fertile valleys, and some of the freshest food I have eaten in my life. 

We shall not speak of the Vino.

And now for the graphic design/typography nerd tourist shots

I ♥ the Ape. 

Portfolio Website Up!

Huzzah! I finally have my portfolio website up online. I'm already planning a re-design. Thats terrible isn't it? Well, it's more a re-shuffling of the content, but I'm so sick of staring at code, I'm going to leave it there to breathe for a bit.

Here it is! http://hollyburgess.rebelwares.com ♥

Also I drew a picture of a deer in the woods.
