I'm Lust.
Odd casting... but nice outfit
xI got a tattoo!
Real tattoo is on the way! I just commissioned an illustrator to design me one, lots of goodness there, too.
Sorry again for the lack of updates and lack of replies. I've been so busy lately, I've barely been on SG at all 
Good news though! I have canvas bags for sale at font lorry. I think some have sold already Go buy one if you like! There are only four of each design in the world
Tell me about your life, kittens.

I am so lazy, I didn't blog through the whole of January. Gay as bears.
Happy Valentines Day you lucky people with girlfriends/boyfriends. Happy Valentines Day to all of you single people out there, too. Just because we're not with someone, doesn't mean we don't like an apocalyptic-looking Valentine with a hawk to brighten our day xxx x

Happy New Year!
Instead of going out with my friend Kay and drinking too much wine... I'm at home, in my pjs drinking lemsips and shuddering every time someone speaks too loudly... I'm not having a very good year - next year will be better, I've decided.
I might even make some resolutions

Oh children, I've had such a terrible day. I stayed up until four this morning putting the finishing touches to a presentation I was going to present today... I thought... if I'm doing it at all, I may as well do it properly. So I stayed up making it look gorgeous, and make sense, completely confident that my hard work/sleep deprivation would pay off.
I got up at ten this morning, and got ready to go out at twelve which was absolutely fine.
Got on the bus, I had a feeling it was going to be a wonderful day. The bus had got there moments after I arrived at the bus stop, it was warm, clean, really lovely... I spotted a little piece of fluff that had landed on one of my stockings... absent-mindedly picked off the fluff, and snagged a massive hole in the stocking. Which laddered. And looked awful.
"Never mind!" I thought, it could have been worse after all. They were flesh-toned not black so a tear wouldn't show up so much, and they were stockings, not tights, so I'd only have to throw one away!
Got to the station. The shuttle train has been cancelled, and a coach service has been put on... with a slightly different timetable to the train. Got to the main station a teeny bit late and left only a very short amount of time to train it into Birmingham, trot to uni in time for my presentation. In the end, I got there on time - hooray! I was prepared, I had my presentation on a flash drive as well as a backup! Ingenious, no? Not that I'd ever had a problem before, but it's better to be safe than sorry, right?
Fuck that.
The fucking laptop at uni (running Vista - why?) ruined the files on both flashdrives, leaving me with a bunch of scattered images to pick my way through and try to make a halfway decent talk out of. This goes towards my dissertation, which goes towards my final marks. Bastard!
Journey home was pretty uneventful... but I arrived home cold, and shivering, and tired, and had a nap as soon as I landed back on a nice, squashy settee in my living room. Utter madness! I'm at uni tomorrow again, but that's it until after my holiday - genius.
Argh! Madness. How is everyone?

Also! Ladies? Want to be part of my pin-up project?
For the final part of my project I'm making a pin-up calendar, I sometimes illustrate by drawing from collages like this >
So for this calendar, I want to make a collage to draw from out of some pictures of some lovely ladies, and end up with some gorgeous pin-up poses.
If you'd love to help me out, what I need is for you to email me at mail@iheartjoan.co.uk with your first name, and send me a photo of yourself, telling me which part of your body you like the most - that's the part I'll be using in the collage! Hopefully at the end I'll have made up twelve illustrations all out of the parts that women love most about themselves.
It can be anything! I've had people send me their legs, their eyes, their hands.
Let me know if you want to be part of my calendar. I think it'll be a really nice project

Oh, hello!
Guess what, you can buy some limited edition i heart joan (that's me) printed posters from font lorry, I'm really excited to have my work on sale!
They're on a pin-up theme, and there are a few options. You can see them:
here
here
here
and here!
They start at £8, and I'll have some more merchandise for sale at the end of the week if all goes to plan.
(ps, yes that's me in the photos)
I still don't really have any exciting news...
I've got a boy interested in me, but I'm not really into him... shame really. He's nice an' all, but coming on a bit strong. Like, way too strong. Also he's not skinny enough.
Skinny boys with just the right amount of chest hair, and tattoos... where are they all?
Tell me about your lives lately I don't feel like I've caught up with anyone lately. x

Oh my, I haven't written a proper blog for a while have I? Bad times.
To be honest though it's all been really, really, really boring.
Here is a summary:
- sleep
- bus
- train
- train (sleep)
- uni
- train
- train
- bus
- a nap
- nighty night sleep time
Think I've got a lingering cold which is keeping me from functioning properly as a human being.
Saw 'the boy' the other day, still haven't uttered a word to him but I went for a Subway with my friend Klee who... hangs out with him, and warned me a few seconds before we got in line to eat that he would be there too... I got my sandwich, and ran.
Apparently he still talks about me all the time, (which she's getting bored of, and despite what she tells him I don't think he's given up on the idea that one day well be BST BUDS 4 LEIF YAY) and he thinks that my hair looked better brown. Well fuck him... I think he looked better before he fucked me over, and stalked me for months. [/drama]
Also there's this other boy who might be interested in me who is my age... and another illustrator, although he's in the second year of uni where I'm in the third. I only met him on Friday and he's... coming on a bit strong, which puts me off. I can't tell if it's because he's trying to impress me or if he's just really enthusiastic about life in general.
He actually made me a mix tape.
He's a drummer, and he has a name that makes him sound a bit like a superhero.
I like him in a friend way but I'm not sure I'd want it to go any further, he talks quite a lot and quite quickly where clearly I like to be the centre of attention... but he is a drummer, which is always fun.
Decisions!
Check out the latest incarnation of i heart joan if you haven't already, and also: good news!
You can buy a one-of-a-kind, hand-illustrated by i heart joan (me) canvas bag from font lorry, and I'll have some limited edition prints there soon. Buy stuff!
