Hello hello! It's been a while... er, a looong while, apologies for my absence Internet, I will do better. I promise. Anyway! Here are some details of the finished design and early sketches for a piece I just finished on the theme of Proportion for the Graphic Birdwatching <a href="http://www.graphicdesignwalk.com/index.html#.UDz8KStYu7M">Graphic Design Walk & Exhibition</a> (September 21-22) as part of the <a href="http://www.londondesignfestival.com/events/graphic-design-walk-2012">London Design Festival 2012</a>. It's at the printers today, and will soon be winging its fragile way to meet the other birdies at the exhibition.Aoifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16854755668126864959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474680637696175859.post-71639876504598387482011-07-04T06:59:00.000+01:002011-07-04T06:59:41.131+01:00+++ACID+++<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VQI6Ksjex9o/ThFVSe9ltvI/AAAAAAAAAOI/C31F8N9dIic/s1600/crop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VQI6Ksjex9o/ThFVSe9ltvI/AAAAAAAAAOI/C31F8N9dIic/s1600/crop.jpg" /></a><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So this is a quickie, doodled on the back board of my sketch pad, as I've run out of paper, yay, new sketch pad time! So today I had two oranges in the fruit bowl, two small withered looking 'organic' carrots, and one hefty 'carrot' in the fridge, along with a packet of raisins for me porridge, and an onion, yes, I am still impoverished, or unorganised, I'm not quite sure which yet, but I guess it's better to go with impoverished so I don't spend all me loot in one artisanal <a href="http://www.doughnutplant.com/">doughnut shop</a>. (Mmmmmmm) So, anyway, back to the meagre pickings in my kitchen, so, if you're thinking what I'm thinking, which would be worrying, but might spell light at the end of the tunnel for one or both of us, (yes, you.) soup was on the menu. So, I basically threw it all in a pot, based on my memory of other soup-like wonders, and who knew, it worked! So, here we go, drawing post-concoction, for the documentation of a day and posterity and health of future carrot tops. Or some such nonsense. Give it a whirl! I assure you it's tasty, I just didn't take any photos as it doesn't actually look all that great unless you have a blender =)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Mash, or blend, or in my case, attempt to blend using a wooden spatula - surprisingly effective!) To serve, add a splash of cream (or if you're poor like me, soy milk) and some grated parmesan, and toasted pine nuts and or pumpkin seeds. What would also be good in here, but I didn't have, would be some cumin seeds, which you could put into the pan dry before adding the rest of the ingredients.</span></div></div><div class="p1"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

It's a monogram for yours truly, and the sketch it was worked up from. Will hopefully have more time for sketching soon, when I've gotten into the rhythm of things, but for the moment, there's this to whet your appetite, and this, just because.</span></div><br />

Myself and hindirinny have decided to create a type cocoon in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, replete with cheaper than cheap Ikea furniture and old collected postcards (oh I am so broke). I finally have an apartment that's big enough to fit one of these kick-ass lamps in and not bump into it/damage it each time I walk by (although I still managed to tear the paper as soon as I took it out of the packet *sigh* I am not a delicate or poised individual, whattayagonnadoay!) That couch we got for a steal at just 17 dollars and change, so we got 3! Lions and tigers and bears. =) And there I am, for good measure, looking haggard, this is what hours of Ikea does to a person. But a happy haggard person ey! So yep, first week over, new apartment semi-livable, and slowly getting used to the subway system, although somehow I also managed to aqcuaint myself with Queens en route to Clinton Hill, and Far Rockaway, en route to Bed Stuy, so I guess I'm a slow learner. But onwards and upwards, (literally, I think it's safer if I just take the bus from now on) this weekend I'm gonna try and hit up the Metropolitan Museum and possibly go to Staten island, we also went to this really cool restaurant near us called Saraghina, feckin' delicious so twas! Whenever anyone calls, I am abdicating all cooking responsibilities to the good folk at Saraghina, there's no point in me even trying any more, convenience wins when it's this damned tasty. Mmmm convenience... We also discovered the wine bar up the street has live music at the weekends, doubleplusgood, so those will be added to the fun things to show ppl list whenever I make it. Miss home, but too tired to let it sink in. More to come... bígí ag damhsa. (Oh also, updates on political shenanigans back home guys, WTF! I've been gone a week and it's a different country!) =)Aoifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16854755668126864959noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474680637696175859.post-25680842175074272812011-01-21T11:43:00.000+00:002011-01-21T11:43:19.617+00:00First night in Bed Stuy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7B6l6ub2z_k/TTlvE90OK_I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/_Uhs5Xk6PPM/s1600/morning.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7B6l6ub2z_k/TTlvE90OK_I/AAAAAAAAAJ0/_Uhs5Xk6PPM/s1600/morning.jpg" /></a></div>This is the view from my window, pretty huh, and right behind that window... it's snowing like crazy. Thank you to the strange man who perfunctorily told me to 'prepare for snow' last night on the way home from work, and the myriad mind-wanderings that elicited: what could he mean?—am I not prepared for snow? <b>metaphysically(</b>?!?!?!)' etc... anyway, now I see, kindly soul, you took pity on a shivering and pale eejit wandering alone in the dark, thank you. So I made it to NYC, finally, and following a whirlwind of a week, I finally have somewhere to put my stuff and sleep that's mine, at least for now. This weekend is for sleep. And Ikea!

So, folks, I'm leaving. Fievel-goes-west-stylee on a big old jetplane, next Wednesday (!) for NYC. =) GULP. So I thought I'd indulge in a little gooey sugar coated silliness... I like to think there might have been some kind of inevitability to this, when I was little I saw this movie in the Ormonde cinema in Stillorgan with my Dad, and afterwards I was telling my mum that it had been my favourite movie growing up, and she said, that's weird, I remember you having nightmares for weeks afterwards... Kids eh... <br />

This is the clock tower in Holyhead train station, I have never been so glad to see a large static timepiece in an out-of-the-way location. </div>Aoifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16854755668126864959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474680637696175859.post-51070862070469104682010-12-21T01:58:00.000+00:002010-12-21T01:58:11.335+00:00Oblivion // ❡ SketchSnippet#21<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7B6l6ub2z_k/TRAF1ahyMYI/AAAAAAAAAIo/xnerip7rxSE/s1600/Oblivion2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7B6l6ub2z_k/TRAF1ahyMYI/AAAAAAAAAIo/xnerip7rxSE/s1600/Oblivion2.jpg" /></a><br />
Having finally extricated myself and loved ones from the crazy apocalyptic silliness that accompanies any semblance of snow in these here islands, and managed to make it back from my graduation in Reading on Friday, by train and then ferry. I thought I'd digitise some of the sketches I made over the weekend of long thumbtwiddling in airports, trains, planes, tubes, and ferry and also have a very quick play with illustrator cs5's stroke width tool. I've been meaning to have a looksee at this for a while now, ever since I saw <a href="http://www.jessicahische.com/">Jessica Hische</a>'s screencast on the tool which got me curious in the first place... and yup. I'm totally hooked. So, first off, Oblivion! Yes, it was a fun weekend. I hope everyone else made it home from the graduation for Christmas, and that anyone else stuck in England or Ireland is doing ok in all the kerfuffle. Fingers crossed it all eases up a little before the mass migration for food inhalation and gift-giving of 25th.<br />
