Yeti play

Yeti hand, 2010, acrylic felt, raw suri fleece, cotton glove, florist wire.
Having a quick play with materials. It's all part of a proposal for an exhibition collaborating with Caroline McCurdy 'Beasts Least Seen'.





Most of my sketches have these creatures with long elongated fingers and limbs, so i had a quick play, modded a glove, sewed on some talons and got to see how suri fleece and the glue gun mix......pretty much as I hoped they would.

January favourites

William Gibson makes for an exciting read. A dear friend of mine loaned me their copy of Spook Country...and it is awesome. A brilliant read before bed.

Fabric Tooth made by Caroline McCurdy
Hehe adorable tooth with crazy googly eyes. Made for me when I was in the middle of my own dental saga. The beautiful stark white fabric has an aloof quality that reminds me of the whack Evangelion angels. Luckily the tooths eyes are nothing like liliths!

Moomin book.
Whenever I'm at my desk, I see this book it reminds me that i made my very first sale to Ville Valo who inturn gave me this book. It is very rewarding knowing there are people who appreciate the artwork i make.
