Girl from Bristol
Bristol, United Kingdom
About
I work in television, or there abouts. When I'm not working I like to draw, write and take photographs. I create images by illustrating over photographs and trashing them, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I always have a sketchbook nearby as Ideas come and go like clouds. My main influence's are modern illustrators such as Deanne Cheuk, Yoshitomo Nara, Marion Lefebvre, and I love New York painter Jonathon Viner. I have a million favorite artists who I wish I could imitate in some small way, such as Frieda Khalo, Dagas and Toulouse Lautrec and I adore looking at old and new photographs.

I love to be
outside with friends, with a drink in my hand, in a corn field under a blue sky, in Bristol in summer when people have time to just sit, in a venue waiting for a band to play, watching a french film, in water waiting a wave, at a party dressed in costume pulling faces at camera's and laughing, romancing with wine in some nice resturant, dancing with friends on a busy floor, outside somewhere beautiful.
