Textual Tourist 3: Now in Three Dee

I tried to put this one up at work before the event, but javascript and activex is disabled on their browsers and blogger's terrible new interface is even more fussy about working with any browser that wasn't released in the last two years.

I've got a real corker already lined up for number 4 whenever that happens...

Textual Tourist:: 11/11/11

Here's another one I did for the next Textual Tourist night at The Big Green Bookshop (www.biggreenbookshop.com) which is happening on Friday 11th November.

Textual Tourist

I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out...the original picture of the three people walking along was a shot I took of a bunch of hipsters in a park in Copenhagen.

Psychiatric Co-Morbidities

This was an initial draft illustration for the brochure cover for a conference on adolescent substance misuse, although in the end they decided to go for something in a more surrealist / psychedelic style.

I like the original more.  

Obviously.

I made a poster

So, the place I work for is holding an art exhibition in Dulwich, south east london and appropriately enough for summer time, they're calling it Summer Art Exhibition: Self Portraits.  The original title was 'A Blank Canvas', but that name drifted off into the ether after the initial posters asking for submissions were taken down.

It's a showcase of the self-portraits of service users for Lambeth CAMHS; it's a totally worthwhile cause and everyone involved has worked amazingly hard to produce something good with a small budget. 

It's free, open to anyone who's curious enough to come along young or old, and it's running from Friday 15th July until Saturday 23rd July at The Lodge, Old College Gate, College Road, Dulwich Park, London, SE21 7BQ.

I made a font

So, I made a font and all that jazz.  It's typically daft, modern and illegible because:

a) It's the first font I ever created

b) I have no idea about typography

c) both of the preceding facts are painfully obvious.  (TAUTOLOLOGY!)

Anyway, you can download it here.

Sexually Harassed Panda

(why does she always want sex?)

Hate is a London (Pride) thing

Waves (work in progress)

I think I've previously mentioned that Microsoft Publisher is a bit rubbish, inflexible and confusing, but it's surprising what you can do with it you've got patience (read: nothing to do at work) and a bit of imagination. I doodled something similar in a notebook during a meeting nearly two years ago, but never did anything with it once I got home.
