I studied BA (Hons) Decorative Arts, specialising in ceramics & illustration and have since focused on the illustration / craft side. Everything here is my own. I also love tea, tattoos & travelling. I have a personal blog where I keep various other pictures, inspirations, music reviews, interviews etc here. Prints are available from my online store  var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-16798543-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
