A Lovely Tale Exists

January 14, 2012 by livelaugh · Leave a comment

Welcome to 2012, ya’ll!

In case you’ve missed out on following the progress of ‘A Lovely Tale’ on its Kickstarter page, I thought I’d post a quick update!

All the images and words have been carefully crafted and finalized, and the book is in the final stages of printing – hurrah! Check out the Kickstarter update link above if you want to read more about the process thus far. Up next: sharing it with the world!!

(If you weren’t able to back the Kickstarter campaign, but still want a copy, good news: I’ve ordered extras! Get in touch to let me know you’re interested!)

Sam + Abi Wedding Glimpse!

December 29, 2011 by livelaugh · Leave a comment

The end of November saw the wedding of two lovely friends of mine here in Belfast, Sam & Abi (or should I say Mr. & Mrs. Wolsey). From the ceremony taking place in a gorgeous old church, to the lucky break in the rain for a few photos in Lady Dixon Park, the day was full of cheerful things and a stunning bride to boot! Enjoy a glimpse at a few of my favourite photos from the day!

Ho, Ho, Cmd + O

December 16, 2011 by livelaugh · Leave a comment

With only eight days until Christmas (woop!) I thought I’d spread share some holiday love with a bit of a freebie. While I can’t offer you 8-maids-a-milking, I thought I’d share a Christmas-y background I designed for your computer! I present to you, the Cmd + O Penguins*:

Should you wish to join in the penguin-desktop-cheer, you can grab the desktop-ready 1260×800 or 800×600 version here, if you feel so inclined!

If you’re really geeky, you may enjoy this Doctor Who themed variation in 1260×800 or 800×600.

Enjoy! :)

* Confused? Pressing ‘Cmd + O’ on a Mac opens a file… get it?

Gifts That Give Back

December 9, 2011 by livelaugh · Leave a comment

December is well upon us, which means Christmas is coming quite soon!

Since ’tis the season, I thought I’d jump on the last-minute gift bandwagon, and share a few of my favourite suggestions of gifts that will bring cheer to more than just the recipient! I love how these folks are using art and design for social change and to empower generations through creativity, so have a look and spread some arty cheer!

Raven & Lily
http://www.ravenandlily.com
 
I recommend: Moroccan Woodcarved Journal ($18) and Wood & Silver Leather Bangles (3 for $18)
These guys are doing a lovely thing, empowering women in Ethiopia and India through design. The women are taught design skills, and the proceeds go towards funding literacy programs for the artisans and their families. All the products sold are hand-made and eco-friendly, and affordable, too! (I bought myself one of these hand-carved wooden journals last month, it’s even prettier in person!)

Eat Art
http://www.eat-art.org

I recommend: Darth Vader – Never Beyond (12×18″ – $30)
“You get the art. The kids get to eat.” I think their slogan says it all. A lovely selection of art and photography to choose from, with each 5×7″ print feeding one child for one month (with bigger sizes feeding more children, hurrah)! (Plus: Darth Vader Art. ‘Nuff Said.)

Sevenly
http://www.sevenly.org

I recommend: Shirt! ($22)
There’s a featured charity each week with a new and beautifully designed shirt to match! Proceeds go to the charity, and you get to gift a lovely shirt. (Each design is only available for a week, so grab ‘em while you can!)

A Lovely Tale = Funded

December 5, 2011 by livelaugh · Leave a comment

Just a quick post to say, if you haven’t already heard, my Kickstarter project for A Lovely Tale has been successfully funded – woo!

It’s been really amazing to hear people’s feedback and excitement about the concept, I really appreciate all your support and help spreading the word. Massive thanks for partnering with me to make this book a reality!

I’m working hard to finish up the content, and then comes the printing and sharing stage. Exciting!

I’ll be finalizing layouts and printing mockups over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for updates on that as well!
