Did this as part of the flickr spoodles group created by bitsOfBobs . Made a spotify playlist, based on tunes I’ve enjoyed listening to this month – a hectic one, with a new job starting in a few weeks and further new work in my present workplace – alongside lots of travel, family celebrations and visits.
Finally got round to scanning in holga roll. Love the ‘surprise’ element to using this type of camera. Never quite know how it’s going to turn out until processed. Sometimes it’s too easy to delete a photo that’s not quite right, but with a holga all the mistakes are generally happy ones! More photos here or on my flickr link.
Did some DIY screenprinting with friends. Couple of glasses of wine, catching up with old uni mates and made some new bags. Definitely going to do more of this lo-fi basic printing in the near future. More photos here;
Got distracted making a card when I should be carrying on with 3D project, however it was only quick, and I hope the recipient is happy with it.
Edit: Updated the card. Getting into textures just now so added this in from a bit of scrap paper I scanned in for another project.
I adore my Holga. It’s plastic and cheap looking, it leaks in light and one of it’s quirks is the back popping off every now and again, ‘hilariously’ exposing the film. My first attempts were abysmal, but I’ve slowly been getting used to it and recently took some shots at a screenprinting session at Peacock Visual Arts, which provided a great backdrop and interesting objects to shoot, alongside a trip to Duncan Of Jordanstone College of Art and Design which has great nooks and crannies to create interesting double exposures, different colour shots etc etc. I’ll eventually get them scanned but this is just a quick snippet, more of the images can be found here. I spend a lot of time trawling through this stuff for inspiration. It hooks you in and never lets you go!
New site, new beginnings and new sketchbook. I’m usually daunted by a brand new sketchbook. I don’t want to spoil it and never quite know where to start, but my time in Tokyo has meant my head is bursting with ideas, and getting them down fast enough is more of the problem. Still feel the first page looks contrived and self conscious though…….
