Missy's Cupcakes and the apocalypse.

Recently, it felt as though I was experiencing a post apocalyptic world, with no internet. You forget how much you rely on having the internet until its snapped out of your hands. We went with more than seven days with no internet connection, what the jaffa? It's 2013, we have the technology to send people to the moon, but Talk Talk can't provide a reliable internet service.

Its back at least, for now.

I had recently been asked to design a logo and flyer for Missy's Cupcakes , she makes creative and delicious cupcakes that look too good to nom!

A snapshot of some test printouts

 The brief was to design something cutesy and kitschy with a pastel theme.

Nom, nom, nom.

Everything (except the font) including the borders, is hand drawn, then scanned into Photoshop to be coloured. 

Blood, sweat and tears and many hours work went into creating this, and I'm quite pleased with the end result, this was my first attempt at branding and creating something 'professional' for someone else to use.

Ta da! The final design for the flyer.

Look at these amazing Chopstitch cupcakes Missy made for me :D

Ginge gets crafty: Adventure Time, Jake

 I recently discovered Adventure Time, and straight away fell in love with it. It has an excellent balance of cuteness and sillyness.

I was asked by a friend to make a Jake and a Finn, and have been slowly crafting them together, I found the perfect material to make Jake, super soft and cuddly!

Jake tries to help out....

I felt like Dr Frankenstein, I high fived myself once I finished him. 

Jake likes to spend lazy Sunday afternoons playing Tetris.

Here is abit of Adventure Time fan art for your tastebuds :)

Ginge the dog and Sloth the human.

I have set myself the challenge to make all the characters, I'm currently crafting up a Lady Rainicorn and a Finn, so keep your eyes potatoed for updates :D
