CHRIS BRACEY (NEON KING) // NEON ART PART ONE

-THIS IS MY 100TH POST! WOO FUN TIMES!-

On Instagram I follow this account that keeps posting pictures of neon artwork,
and it's just so beautiful that I decided to google what more neon beauties I could find.
Of course I then stumbled across artist Chris Bracey, also known as 'Neon Man'
and a strong contender for the title of Neon King.

Follow this link to find out more...

His artwork is just incredible, so here are a few of my favourites...












Damn right Chris Bracey, damn right indeed.

THE CREATIVE HUB AKA. MY BEDROOM

My bedroom is a complete and utter creative catastrophe in the best way
possible. It's literally my source of inspiration because it's so jam packed full of
pictures, photos, colours, textures, quotes et al. I can spend hours just looking
at every little last detail, and I just thought I'd share it with you too :)

An image of a boat in some tranquil location provides a source of escapism
from Derby, which is a bit like comparing me with Beyonce aka. nowhere near that 
level of beauty and perfection.

I used to have an obsession with Paperchase postcards... can you tell?
My clock (only £3!) has broken though so in my room it's permanently quarter to 11.

A vintage map of the world. I love to look at this and imagine where I will
visit next. I keep meaning to put pins in the places I've already visited!

    
 My absolute faves + my inventive use of coke cans and a paper plane my friend from Spanish
class made me as my paper plane making skills are non existent. // One of my jam packed walls...

       
 Another shot of the wall featuring my gorgeous ruby red guitar, lanterns and eternal fake
flowers // Even my wardrobe has had the postcard treatment (plus a bit of tinsel that stays there
all year round).
Once I went shopping and found these in a shop. They're meant to be table mats but
I stuck them on my wall instead and I write inspirational messages to myself.
They're like little black boards and they came with their own chalk. Pretty cool huh? ;)

 
 Sticky notes with lyrics on them that I like ft. one of my fave photos of Audrey Hepburn //
Me doing the peace sign in the mirror, where I stick my gig tickets, like it's 2008 all over again.

Never forget this, even on those crap days where you just want to
dig a hole in the ground and live a worm like exsistance.

Photo booth photos are the best. If I could have a permanent photobooth
in my room I would. These are some with my Ma & Pa, one in Brick Lane and one in 
Camden Town. I also stick my train and subwaytickets here too because I'm indie like that.

                         
My noticeboard which I made in the summer of 2010 and is now 4 years out of date but still
nice to look at. Above that are lots of photos from this year of college which I look at
to remind myself of some pretty awesome times. // I pimped my light switch and put a postcard
of Gerard Pique my bezzie sent me from Barcelona to perk me up for the day.

I hope you liked this little insight into my world.... :)

OSCAR FASHION THROUGH THE YEARS

London agency Mediarun Digital has created this cute illustration of every dress worn by the Best Actress Academy Award winner

I thought this little series of illustrations by London design agency 'Mediarun Digital'
featuring all the dresses ever won by winners of the Best Actress Award at the Oscars
was so cute! So I just thought I'd share it with you.

BLACK AND WHITE QUOTES


As always seems to happen, yesterday
I had a crazy few hours doing a few new designs for my
Bluboca store, but unlike always seems to happen, this was succeeded by a big blow out at a Chinese buffet restaurant 
in town with some of my college friends.

Fun times made all the more funner by eating
the most beautiful roast potatoes I have ever had the 
privilege of eating in my whole entire life.
And they weren't even Chinese.

But anyhow, my new collection is 'Quotes' and if you like
any of these designs above, that's where you can find them!
And if you have any suggestions for quotes you would like to 
see, please drop me a comment below :)

Hope you're all having a fab weekend!
(GO EAT ROAST POTATOES, THEY RULE!)

STAY STRONG/ BE POSITIVE/ KEEP FIGHTING


Today I went off on one and created
about ten new designs for my Bluboca store 
and I decided to create them in the theme
of positive thinking because I think it's rather important.

I want to remind people of the simple little things 
that are the key to living a happy life, such as loving 
yourselfstaying strong, choosing to live your life,
thinking positively, having hope and a smile on your
face.




I for one needed to remind myself of these things,
because I forget just as much as anyone else, and in
order for me to remain happy, these are the little
things that are going to help both me & hopefully you too.

They're also dedicated to one of my best friends
who suffers from depression and who hasn't been dealt
the best hand in life yet she still carries on
fighting, no matter how hard things get for her.

Her strength is incredible, even though she
doesn't realise it, and I admire her so much.
And these are both a little reminder to her to
stay positive and keep on fighting, but also
a dedication to a truly wonderful person who deserves
only the best in life.

:)
