My photo
I am Hannah:) I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a degree in Illustration and Animation in 2011. After I graduated I took a few months out to go to Africa where I volunteered in Kenya living with the Masai tribe, and in Tanzania teaching in the schools and painting educational murals. I had an amazing time and would go back in a heart beat. I came back to reality at the end of last year and have recently got a job working with children and young adults in residential care. Its going to be a challenge but Im up for it and very exited about being creative with these inspirational people.


I Love drawing happy, funny, cute and beautiful things, that make me feel nice inside. My work has meanings obviously but I like the feeling that it gives me whilst doing it the best :) Drawing and painting is my favourite thing to do. Pencils are my friends. Can’t beat a good bit of collage either.

Hope you enjoy my work, thank you please.

*****

For my new project this year I'm illustrating another Sylvia Plath....And as I like using my photography in the collage that I do I thought I best get onto actually doing some! So I managed to rope my sister into modelling for me...I'm really happy with what we got :) Here are some of my favourites...click them to make them bigger. Now the real work begins!

Feeling a tad romantic...

OK so anyone who knows me well enough will know that I am a "secret" Hanson fan! And at the moment am "secretly" addicted to this song.....I can't even understand some of the lyrics, but in general it just makes me very happy and I think they have beautiful voices.  So I know its not art or mine or whatever but in a lot of ways its inspiring to me :) You should definitely listen to  it....if you don't like it..don't tell me, i WILL cry!!

Look what I found....

Ok so look what I found the other day..... Basically Im doing my project on another one of Sylvia Plath's poems.  I really wanted to get a good feel for some different types of poetry and  decided to take a walk to see the book man on oxford road.  He's so cool and has the best old smelly books ever! I have an ever growing collection of old books that are just there to look at!  Any way so I found some realllly cool ones, which tie in perfectly with my new project.  Although none written by Sylvia Plath, I figured it didn't matter as I like old things to collage with so I can use these in the background of my work.  So I was flicking through them in the park and in the little book of sonnets I came across the cutest thing :) looooook.
