Brighton Illustration Degree Show

I went to the Brighton graduate illustration degree show last week at the Rochelle school in east london (shoreditch of course!). The show finished on the 12th of July and I was really impressed by the work displayed. There was a particular artist I wanted to blog about, a girl called Daphne Christoforou.
Apparently her boyfriend is a programmer and she did some illustrations that he then made into an animated programme. You clicked on her work and different clips were played out with soundtracks. Most of them were pretty hillarious. She did one piece about political figures and showed hitler dancing with barney.

(The above picture is of her animated interactive piece. If you click on the people they open up animations that played for a few minutes with different sound tracks. Although this is a bad analogy it reminded me of the casper game I used to play when I was a lot younger- you clicked on casper or other things and they spoke or opened up little, entertaining skits!)

I heard she got quite a good response for her work and was even offered 600£ for one animation but she declined because she could probably get more sold elsewhere.

It's nice to see work that is funny, political and also well drawn. If you type that artists name into youtube you can see some of the artwork she entered into an animation comp in 2009.

So I have been doing very little since I finished Uni. I think being there has taught me bad, lazy habits!

I found some really cheap clogs in primark they are 20££ but incredibly painful. I've been out in them a few nights in a row and by the end of the evening I was staggering or walking bare foooted.

However, saying that, I am not the best at wearing heals anyway and another friend who borrowed them said they were comfy. The quality is a lot better than what Primark usually has to offer! So I would recommend them if you want to buy some...

Apparently lace is where its at now in fashion! I also recently bought the most amazing nail polish from barry m. It is lilac and super cute for the summer!
