Photos from Nottingham's 3rd Light night, a mixture of outdoor performances from professional artists, performers and community groups, sound and light installations and indoor cultural activities.

The Great Outdoors

Goyt Valley & Buxton - 2nd July 2009

2009-09-06T08:53:00.000-07:00

A picnic, a camera, good company and clear blue skies. Does it get any better?

Banksy V's Bristol Museum July 2009

2009-09-06T08:20:00.000-07:00

Was lucky enough to get down to Bristol for this. Think this exhibition had the best atmosphere of any I've been to and it did wonders for the local economy. Thanks Banksy, whoever you are!

Bahrain 1992-93

2009-09-06T07:59:00.000-07:00

Photos from my life in Bahrain. Would love to see what the place looks like now.

Shortlisted!

2008-08-04T02:47:00.000-07:00

Just found out this morning that this photograph has been shortlisted in a competition about Liverpool. It's of the Walker Gallery.

Sketch

Had this in my head so had to get it down!

Shepherd School

2008-07-16T03:40:00.000-07:00

My good friend Matt Savage and I were asked to design and oversee the painting of Shepherd School's 40th Anniversary mural. It's a special needs school and the kids had a great time getting involved. The painting consists of 6 boards and measures 12x8ft. I think it's wonderful!

Inspired by Munch

2008-06-27T09:15:00.000-07:00

This was an experimental lino cut for an NSPCC brief. The task was to create a campaign to highlight child abuse in Britain. I ended up using Punch & Judy to tell a story though a series of posters. The lino cuts were too creepy partly because they'd been inspired by Edvard Munch's The Scream. Must have been in a dark place when I came up with this!

Discovery

2008-06-22T11:32:00.000-07:00

Just found this coloured pencil drawing I did years and years ago. I think I must have been about 15! It's a bit yellowed round the edges. I never did get round to framing it.

My Very First Prints

2008-06-22T07:24:00.000-07:00

When I started college my first project was to design a calendar. The theme was "Anatomical" and I decided to produce prints about tribes. I've not found all of them yet but these were the result of my first experiments with printing.

Open Mic Poster

2008-06-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

My partner and I used to run an acoustic session at a local pub. Happy days...! I decided to have a go at a poster using watercolour pencils.

Child Migrants Trust

2008-06-14T06:47:00.000-07:00

This movie has been created as a viral for the Child Migrants Trust; a UK charity that reunites people who were sent abroad to institutions when they were children. Please watch the movie for more info.

Moo!

2008-06-13T06:13:00.000-07:00

Illustration experiments promoting fresh food/healthy eating.

Current TV

2008-06-13T04:32:00.000-07:00

This was a competition brief to create a sting for the Current TV channel and web site. I discovered part way through that I was too old to enter it, doh! Still I had good fun :)

Please view on my project blog

Modern Day Coat of Arms

2008-06-13T03:35:00.000-07:00

The project was to create a coat of arms for someone you previously didn't know. Interviewing someone can be very tricky! It started off quite stilted but then I got loads of information like one side of his family were from India the other from Africa, he'd stopped smoking, liked helping people and "oh, I'm a colour blind graphic artist. Can you do something with that?" Err...yeah! So in a nutshell, all the images in this montage meant something to him and he liked it :)

Screen Print

2008-06-12T05:16:00.000-07:00

One of my finest hours as far as screen printing is concerned :)

I made this print for a San Miguel beer project set by Chris Moss DDA, London. I used for a web site and poster campaign (that I can't find at the moment).

Hello World!

My name is Anita - the clue was in the tile. Welcome to my blog of random musings, design work and maybe music. I've had many adventures and now I'm here.

We'll I've got loads of junk all over cyberspace and I thought it was about time I gathered it together. So here it is...

I'll be putting things up that amuse or entertain me along with personal work and thoughts.

My mid-year resolution - Be More Organised!

Let's see how long that lasts.
