Cam Jam January session

Back in January I was invited back down to take part in the second CamJam. Definitely a pleasure to get back down and this time round it was in alliance with the British Heart Foundation. You could imagine that everyone went for reds! I took the opportunity to develop on the valentines piece I had previously done, trying to create more movement and animation, also focusing on more contrast.

Half Term Collab

ILoveSketches X Monokrome Books

Back in February I took part in the ILoveSketches sketch competition. The reward was a copy of the Bonzai Vs Cute book by Monokrome, a book that I have been wanting to get since it's release.

BY GOLLY I WON!!

The book is brilliant and was happy to receive. I've flicked through it so many times, and Monokrome also sent me a cool sticker and postcard pack.

Also you can catch Bonzai painting at StreetFest this year!

Valentines splash

I haven't posted anything up for a bloody long time. Let me warn you of one thing: If you are to go travelling to say somewhere like Thailand. DO NOT COME BACK. If you do, be prepared for the longest slug of trying to get back to this bleak presence we call reality. But enough of that, life is bloody good!! I have been ver creative just within the midst of business I've neglected these posts.

Here's a valentines piece I was asked to do, very happy with the concept, the colours. One thing I must note about he MTN 94 colour range; the reds and the greens lack a vibrancy… You can work with it do not get me wrong but when planning apiece within that range it is very easy to get thrown off.

BACK FROM THAILAND- Pt.2

Arriving in Chiang Mai, I didn't really know what to expect as I didnt do enough research. But damn it, it's one of my favourite places, so god that I have been considering my options regarding moving there. The city itself is a great hustle and bustle that is not too large and not too small, has the hectic lifestyle in the streets that I like and the bonus is that natural beauty is only a 20 minute ride away.

Within the main city of Chiang Mai you have the options of seeing the different late night markets, a bit of a party scene at Zoey in Yellow, Jazz bars like Boy Blue Jazz bar in the Kalaar night market, and Muay Thai fights. On the outskirts when you get out of the border of the main square, you have great sites to see such as Tiger Temple, waterfalls, a national lake, temples, elephant rides, nature treks.. the list is humungous!

Get a moped, it's well worth it

Sushi Box is well recommended

Get yourself to Overstand, great brunch, great Iced Latte, Ironlak on sale

After a few days in Chiang Mai, with the original intention of going to Chiang Rai, we jumped on a couch to Pai; a mellow town further north full of travellers. Pai got very hyped up and for me it wasn't all that, but it is definitely worth going to see for yourself. The main centre is about 2 min streets and 5 in-between, a load of bars, a great walking street in the evening with food stalls set up. The for was pretty good. a lot less sugary than in central Thailand, great prices for example; 5 gyoza for 10Bt, 5 chicken skewers for 10Bt, sushi 10Bt a piece. You can literally walk around and not pick a main meal but just get little bits to fill your tummy.

We rented mopeds out there too, and ventured out of town, that's what is really good about Pai, great scenes to see. You have the choice out of the hot springs, the canyon, the infamous land split, waterfalls, and the Chinese village. They were really worth seeing.

Great riverside bungalows to rent for 300-550 Baht
