Entrepreneurin'

I've been thinking about selling some collages as prints or on t-shirts, here's some ideas:

This is Either an Orchid or a Lily...I forget.

Edit: It's a Peruvian Lily or Alstroemeria aurea ...Don't be thinking I don't know my botany else you'll find a Sempervivium where the sun don't shine. LOL plant humour.

Finished Papercut Numero Uno

Pins and Needles and Papercut Designs

For our little two week "erasure" project I've been thinking of a way to incorporate the process of erasure into my existing work, so I thought some lovely papercuts would be just the thing-

I've doodled up a couple of designs which I'll be cutting into big copies of pages from my Vauxhall Nova manual - I'm one of those fernickety little buggers that can't deal with simple designs, despite loving them in other people's work, so it's quit

This is my Vauxhall Nova Botanical Sketchbook (I have yet to decide on a good name for this, hello suggestions box):

This is a particularly sensitive work for me because this was my brother's manual for our grandad's car, and it is illustrated with some rather beguiling notes such as: "Nova 0.0821918 ... Civic 0.0818182 LOL LOL" (!?!?!) Just some little mechanic humour for you there.

ANYWAY have a look at the fascinating dichtomy between the observation of technological/organic processes WHAT a mouthful:
