I swear I've done more than this but I can't find them.....
But anyway, here's a little Jack and Sally mash up that I did the other day. Inspired by the lovely MadeYewLook on youtube (Seriously, check her out!)
My scanners still playing up. It keeps putting these weird black smudges on the photos/work I scan in. I've tried my best to get rid of it, but it's still kind of there.
I'm half way through a River Phoenix piece as well which I've stopped for now as I was just getting frustrated with it. Hopefully I'll have finsihed him by next month. I've been wanting to draw River for ages now. But I can't get his cute little button nose right or his eyes, and it's driving me mad.
Haha! My mum surprised with a trip down to Perranporth.
My cousins from yorkshire were also going there for a holiday. One of my cousins, Jodie, happens to also be my best friend. Unfortunately, we don't get to see each other too much as we live 6 hours drive apart.
Let's just say that both of our parents surprised us and we had so fun skating around Newquay and surfing down on Perranporth. My Brother gave her, her brother and her boyfriend a surf as none of them had ever done it before.
I didn't take many photos this time. Maybe I should go back....
I'm starting to spend more time in Newquay than I do my own hometown.
I'm okay with that!
For August, MLB have carried on with last month's summer roadtrip theme. Teaming up with Antik Batik, to bring you a box filled with bohemian goodies! Let's go!!
If you know me, then you'll know I'm a big fan of One Tree Hill. I have been since I was 13.
It finsihed a couple of years ago *sniff* but it had a pretty impact on my life. That sounds strange right? A tv show had a big impact on my life? Well it did. It taught me alot. Basically helped me through high school and, so far, my 20's. It also introduced me to a ton of music.
Two of the artists OTH introduced me to: Tyler Hilton and Kate Voegele.
Sunday night saw them co-headline my favourite venue- Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms.
I actually saw Tyler Hilton headline there about 18 months ago now but I've never seen Kate live.
Both of them we're perfect. Made conversations with random people in the crowd, played beautifully, made sure they met everyone, and were just genuinely lovely friendly people.
Also, they played "When The Stars Go Blue". Which is a song Tyler sang on the show with one of the main characters, and well, I almost cried.
I'll post some videos I took down below.
A chilled acoustic evening.
Favourite People.
Favourite Venue. Perfect.
If this is as close to a One Tree Hill reunion as I'm going to get, I think I'm okay with that.

Listening to: Great British Bake Off (I bloody love this show!)
Tyler Hilton- Kickin My Heels Tyler Hilton- You'll Ask For Me
Kate Voegele- It's Only Life Kate Voegele- No Good
Kate Voegele & Tyler Hilton- When The Stars Go Blue
You may have noticed I didn't post an art blog for June. Yeah, I slacked a lot in June. I slacked quite abit for July as well, which sucks.
The trailer for Suicide Squad got released a couple of weeks ago and lets just say I am SO excited! (Seriously go watch it!)
So excited that here's Margot Robbie and Jared Leto as Harley Quinn and The Joker respectively.
I am so happy with how Harley Quinn turned out. I went a little overboard with the blue around her eye, but I kinda like it.
The Joker took me about two weeks, and I'm not sure if I'm happy with the face or not. I very rarely just do plain pencil drawings now, though. When I was younger, I did tons. And I want to start doing a bit more of just pencil work- no paints.
I also want to start getting back into biro pieces as well. I did alot of that in college.
There is also one more painting that I've been working on for the past couple of weeks as well. Because of the Suicide Squad though, it's kind of got pushed back a little.
