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.

Love is in the...... trees!

Ok so I've started my 3rd and last year of my degree....scary! But so exiting, and I was getting my breakfast this morning when I looked out the window and saw the cutest little heart shaped leaf! I thought to my self "ahh that would make a good photo" and then instead of being lazy I went and grabbed my camera and took a shot.

London....

So here I arrive in London.....ready to start my new job in St Johns wood.  I am the new physio assitant on the rehabilitation unit :)  I need the work experience so what better then to work in a well known prestidgious private hospital!?

So any way yea...this blog isn't to rave about my new carreer ha, but just so you know it going well! In fact it is obviously to show my artyness. Working full time is obviously going to get in the way of me doing anything practically creative.  But I have been doing some lovely things on the weekends, along with socialising with my friends we went to a carnival/fair.  I cant remember exactly how old it is but something along the lines of early 1960's.  It was super cool and we did try out ONE of the rides, it was a tad scary and none of us felt it was necesary to ride any of the others! But any way this is one of my snaps from my lovely day out......
