Ladies and gentlemen, it is good to be back. First things first, I'm the girl in the new Axewound video! You can check it out here!

This weekend I have the ultimate privilege of working on the SG booth at London Tattoo Convention and I get to see all of my favourite girls and fingers crossed I may even be shooting a new set.

The past couple months I have been eating frozen yoghurt and nachos in LA with moxi and chloe, writing a book, drawing a book, I ran the spartan race with bow, worked my tiny butt off and preparing to enter my third and final year of uni with the dreaded dissertation.

Here's what I have been up to in photos:








have missed you all dearly.

p.s. am selling things

Ladies and gentlemen, I messed up.

Let me count the ways.

First and most importantly, this coming monday (the 18th) I will be flying to LA for ten days with no plan other than my flight.
I was supposed to be visiting someone and now the situation has changed and I don't have anywhere to stay or anything to do. I have money, not an abundance of it but enough to survive there but if anybody knows some reasonable, safe places as I am not the best at keeping myself safe to be honest- then please let me know. If anybody is around to hang out at all and keep me company, that would be amazing as I literally have nothing to do for ten days now.

So. I discovered some important things about myself these last few months and specifically these last eight days and I'm going through some kind of self evaluation. Where better to do that than LA, right? Ugh.

I hope you're all well and happy and perhaps I will see some of your faces next week.

I am the worst.

Things are really really good, I'm keeping busy and making things and planning things. I've missed you all.

I am coming to LA on the 10th to the 17th of April, alone, SO. If anybody is around and wants to hang out or shoot or whatever, let me know. My schedule is starting to fill up a little but I really want to meet some of you LA dwellers, so just send me a message or something.

Some photos:




Soon.

Wow, four months. These four months have been full of fruitless endeavours, a lot of american television and baking, but we are fast approaching Christmas and I am very excited!

Here's what I've been upto:


















I have missed you all, tell me how you are!

Hallo beauties, I've finally had a chance to stop to catch my breath, and tomorrow it starts all over again!

Berlin was incredible, I walked until my feet bled, it is such a beautiful and rich city. Tiredness is increasing my inarticulacy even more than usual so I'll be brief and stick to visual aids.





I went to the beach and I went to a pretty place called Matching Green and had some lunch and got very very sunburnt.



I also bought a cute dress:



I finally finished my whole apartment:







I'm off to Athens tomorrow morning for my father to explain to me our current state of financial affairs considering the circumstances of the semi collapsed economy and state. See you all when I get back!!

Wow, SG. It's been a long time. The last few months have mainly consisted of drawing, eating, sleeping and moving house. I passed this year of my degree, not long now! And I got a first, which sets me in good stead for the future. I'm tired and I'm not quite sure what direction my life is going to take this summer. I had to leave my church; I became very close friends with the pastor's son, maybe inappropriately close in retrospect but I didn't see that at the time, and he was engaged. Nothing happened of course, but we'd play cards into the early hours of the morning, text all through the day, speak on the phone four or five times a day and he would say things that I suppose friends wouldn't say. Of course, he hid this from everyone so the congregation (including his fiancee, parents, brothers and best friend) didn't even know we were friends. Needless to say, the truth came out; his now wife decided I was a manipulative bitch and was to blame for seducing an engaged man and they both said they never wanted to see me again, along with the people who run the church. Sucks. So, now I am on the search for a church in the Essex area. I'm sure I'll find one soon. Apart from that, I cut my hair relatively short:



gained some weight (which is good)

finished a book about Alfred the Great, one of my double pages and a rogue image from the book. It won't let me upload the others for some reason:







I went back to Athens with my friend Ellie to visit the fam:



And that's all folks!



I'll be in Berlin from the 21st of June to the 24th, if any of you lovely people are around let me know and we will meet up! xx

Things are insanely busy at the moment, trying to get my life together and semi succeeding. Here is some recent work, pop over to http://lyviaillustration.blogspot.com/ to see the rest!












aaand a photobooth picture to balance it out.

I'm 21. I'm happy. I'm working my ass off to be successful, and my friends are wonderful.





I fed the ducks on my birthday



and I wear this jacket too much.

Things are so much better this side of Christmas. Always.
I'm 21 in five days, someone pause time for me to:

Learn how to do at least one extreme sport
Fall hopelessly in love
Cook for a whole dinner party
Read every book on the guardian's top 100 books list.
Finish all of my work for university and my 2500 word essay.

Hmmmph.

In other news, I have been working quite hard, some results:

You know you have these months where your life is turned around? This has been one of them. There has been kangaroos, and beaches, and snow, exhibitions, two protests, redundancy, a break up, a make up, a break up again, a make up with an old face, a reunion, a loss, some health news, the knowledge that i've gone up a jeans size, there's been debt, and tears, and revelation, conflict with two friends, photoshoots, driving into oncoming traffic in a one way system, some mild theft, the realisation that I am the owner of twenty vanilla ice tour posters (message me if you want one, please.) confrontation, honesty, stress, pride, tattoos, too many timezones and nowhere near enough christmas shopping.

I'm not unhappy, just wavering.


In case the list was too dull, here's some photographs to sum it up.
