2:16am

Its gone 2am and like most people my age there either in bed catching up with this morning's loose women//Big Brother Live or are out getting rather merry. Me; i'm sat at my dusty laptop listening to Shy Child and Pete Burns getting excited over new artists i'vee discovered. I still find it slightly funny how i'm actually doing more work and becoming more motivated to do work when i'm not at uni then when i am... my english grammer is terrible.

Ive recently found another blog which i'm going to start following called Ice Cream People.

About

"The intention of this project is to elevate the Ice Cream Person, a half-ice-cream, half-human hybrid, to the same legendary status as other cryptozoological icons, such as Bigfoot, or The Lochness Monster. By consolidating evidence, stories, and artist renditions into a cohesice database of frozen-facts, I am creating a foundation from which the existance of the Ice Cream People may be justified."

As soon as i read this it reminded me of my design work last year, i had to design a booklet inspired by a band i chose Crystal Castles, the booklet could contain anything which we wanted my main focus was the photos of Alice with a photoshopped Ice Cream cone on her head, and Ethan with some form of dessert photoshopped on his head. Simple images yet highly effective.

Here are a few pieces i really like

This is a four color lithograph by artist Nicole Foran. Three frozen friends reclining in a dish, under a strawberry syrup waterfall.

These renditions are made by Yee-Haw Industries as limited edition letterpress prints. They are both available here are part of Yee-Haw's "Summer of fun carnival food series!"

This was created by Jelene

The work displayed on the Ice Cream People's blog varies from photography,paint,illusrations,graphic design,lots and lots of print 3d crafts. These are all areas which i am highly interested in.

Recently i've been doing illustrations in my sketch book over whats been whizzing round my little head over summer, mostly love related. To me whether your in love or fallen out of love, love is a beautiful thing to display whatever media. (without sounding like a right sissy or whatever people say these days.. im really not down with the lingo) In some ways i now want to move onto that and create story boards of my illustrations, work on a bigger scale and start deisgning some screen prints.
