The Ginger King

Henry VIII

As seen before in my other picture but this time scanned in and edited! Based on the image by Hans Holbein the younger. Recently I've really been getting in to working with gouache and mixing it up with crayons or ink. I always go by make what you are interested in.... hence the royals. Should be no surprise since I did my whole dissertation on royal portraits.

What I hate: Kitten Heels

In my most recent project I've been looking at the things that I hate. Yes. Hate. I've found that i say hate a lot, when really i only mean dislike but I'm lazy. So I've been finding ways at making the things I 'hate' look pretty and attractive. 

This image is from 'I hate kitten heels', which I really do hate. Although doing my research has shown me some nice versions the older ones on the other hand, the ones I probably would have worn as a seven year old, are repulsive to me. So frustrating. Although these have turned out looking like the delightful pair from wizard of oz.

Behind the scenes at the World Museum.

So a few weeks ago my friends and I got a chance to take a peek in the World Museum in Liverpool's archives. We got to take a look at the stuffed animals that weren't out in the museum, numerous bones and hundreds of draws of insects. I also got to take quite a few photos of our time there so here they are for you to enjoy! It was amazing to see just how much they don't put on display in the museum and the guy who was showing us round said they had quite a bit more too. 

I would really recommend a visit! You have to book in advance so be sure to get the right information, I may start doing this more often in different museums and galleries. There seems to be so much that we never see!
