The first of many.

Okay, so i have never kept a blog before but thought it would be a good way to document my new leg sleeve that is going to be in progress, and also my upcoming Australia trip.


I have a 10 hour session booked in with Jo Harrison on Friday, which i am extremely excited about...but also, kinda nervous! We're starting a leg sleeve which is going to consist of the 7 deadly sins (greed, envy, pride, lust, sloth, wrath and gluttony) in pin up girls. We're starting with gluttony, and whilst i have only briefly seen Jo's sketch for gluttony, it looked amazing and so i cannot wait to get started! The plan is for it to be really bright and colourful, and i think its gonna look incredible when Jo's finished. I was lucky she even took on the project in the first place considering she wasn't really taking on any new clients as she isn't in the UK much anymore, but she loved it so much she really wanted to do it. I'm lucky shes as enthusiastic as i am about this piece and its why i'm confident shes the right person for the job!


Anyway, you can and should, check out her work at: http://www.modernbodyart.co.uk/

As for my Australia trip, just to outline the details...
I am going to be doing an exchange with my Uni (Roehampton, London) where i go to Deakin University in Melbourne. I am going there for one term or trimester as they call it, which is approximately 4 months long. As to be expected, i am also very excited about this and cannot wait for everything to go through! I am just waiting on the final 'yes' from Deakin but there shouldn't be any problems there. Whilst i know Melbourne isn't close to it at all, i would love to swing by the Great Barrier Reef whilst out there and swim with some sharks!


I shall post some pictures of the first session of my leg sleeve on Thursday. Until then..xx
