Twittered.

Long time no blog!

A friend of mine recently reminded me I hadn't updated my blog for ages. I said to her I don't blog much nowadays because I use Twitter. She was properly disgusted. She disapproves of Twitter on the same level as I disapprove of the existence of celery sticks dipped in peanuts butter (I know I know it's freaky isn't it. Please tell my boyfriend. He thinks it's normal. I have no idea where his definition of normality stems from and having know his celery-peanut addiction, I'm pretty sure I don't want to know).
Another friend of mine I had lunch with today told me she writes on her blog a lot. And she
indeed does write very interesting stuff and I find myself going back to check it ever so often.

Anyway in a nutshell, I decided to add another entry to my long forgotten blogspot.com.

However,
I blurb my creative finds and interesting this and that on Twitter so much, that I'm finding myself empty of things worth mentioning here.

So, I'm doing not-the-most-interesting-thing-to-do on this blog today. I'm putting some of my recent illustrations.




By the way I've just remembered something worth mentioning as I was waiting for the image to be uploaded.
I watched Mauvais Sang, aka The Night is Young by Leos Carax tonight. I do believe the film is one of the best creation in the history of film making so I recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.
I've just checked the dvd cover and found the film was actually made in 1986. 1 9 8 6 ...!? I was four when this film was made but it doesn't look dated at all. Apparently Leos Carax was going out with Juliette Binoche back then. Well, having seen the film just now, may I say, it's pretty obvious he loved her so much. She is just stunning in the film. I'd easily give it ★★★★★.

Brighton Uni Degree Show 2010

I've been to the Brighton Uni's Degree Show Private View last weekend.
Oh this year again, it was such a whirl-pool of talents on display.
Here's a couple of exhibits I really liked.

Graphic design student Miss Claire Murray's work can be seen right by the entrance of the 2nd floor studio. W a n t t h a t p o s t e r...!

Illustration student Miss Alice Pattullo's work. Colourful, playful, wonderful. Her business card was the best business card I've ever pick up in my life (and I must say, I do pick up a lot of business cards).
It was a mouth-shaped, hand screen-printed gem.

Lovely Daphne Christoforou blows your mind away with her quality creation. The two frames on the sides are actually interactive animation on computer screens sandwiching a printed-out digital collage in the middle. I highly recommend anyone to play around with the animation. It's so oh-my-god-how-does-she-do-this!?

Big thumbs up.

Long time no post but I'm back!

I've been designing a new online shop. I haven't put up anything there yet but am intending to sell my original drawings and Giclee prints (and hopefully screen prints too!) there.

Here's a little preview of what it will look like.














By the way FreakShow ended last Saturday and it was great! Also there is a group show going on at AMV BBDO in London curated by Agency Rush. I've been meaning to write about these things but I've been too busy...! I blame it all for my computer which seems to dislike my camera and freezes every time I connect it!

I will, I mean I WILL post photos of these exciting events sometime soon.

FreakShow Private View


Brighton FreakShow, group exhibition of hand-selected illustrators is opening this Friday with the Private View (which anyone interested is welcome to come along!) which will take place from 7pm onwards at St Peter's Church, Brighton.

I'm taking part in the exhibition, showing From The Woods and Le Cadavre Exquis (original pencil drawings / ...anyone who's got no idea what I'm talking about, please kindly make your way to my portfolio website www.yukomich.co.uk thanks) and also selling Giclee Prints of Le Cadavre Exquis as limited edition of 50, signed and numbered for £30 each.

There's going to be drinks and cupcakes which are hand-baked by the participating artists themselves except me and a few more unmotivated bakers. Well I'm not that good at baking so decided to avoid potential food poisoning incident for this occasion.

Hope to see you there.
