Feww amazing weekend.. I got auction fever and bought this cute 50's cabinet. See those top doors, they are painted over. after about 2 hours on each pane I found some gorgeous glass mirrors with little sailing boats on (you can see a peaky pic below). So I've spent sooo much time stripping it with the boy, yawn it's the most tedious of jobs. But we went to pick out some paint and lining paper to keep us going..
On Friday night we popped over to Nottingham Contemporary, it was a bit of a last minute night out (but they are always the best aren't they!?). We saw a few bands there, one of them being Hallouminati. My friend Tom ( from Rise Up The Sun) took the photos, think they look great and really show off the atmosphere. The band was so energetic and got us all bouncing all over the dance floor. I guess the only way to describe them is gypsy ska but they are really worth checking out.
So to celebrate the Rise Up The Sun's release of their EP Tom and Alex made a stop motion video, it's amazing!
Look out for the graphics I did for the logo and sunbeams where the guys have turned it into HD viewing. Also not forgetting how great the boy looks in a sky blue knitted sweater ha HOT!
There's nothing more amazing then something brilliant going to print, Rise Up The Sun the boys band have just released their EP on itunes amongst others. I was delighted when they asked me to help out and design the cover for their EP. So I put my lingerie designer skills to the test(!), it was nice to draw up something different to what I am use to and the above is the results, I think it's turned out pretty well. If you fancy subjecting your ears to a bit of delightful folky/rocky sexiness Get it now for only £3.95 here
Rise Up the Sun the band the boy is part off had their first gig last week as part of open mic night at the Guitar Bar in Nottingham. They were so awesome absoloutely blew my mind, I mean, I've heard them practice a few times and Scott is always tinkling on his guitar at every possible moment but they sounded so polished and wonderfully perfect live.
I had the opportunity to use my bridge camera he bought me for Christmas, I am still trying to get my head round all the modes and functions that are frying my brain cells a bit but I thought the piccies came out pretty well.
I've got a few projects on the go with them including the artwork for their first EP, logo etc which I am really enjoying, something very different from drawing frilly knicks'!
