Tea & Crayons in Compound Magazine

Morning everyone. Some exciting news today; a couple of us have had our work featured in issue 1 of Compound Magazine! It's not out on general internet release yet, but we've got a copy here you can download!

Click here to download Issue 1 of Compound Magazine - Chemistry.

The idea of Compound Magazine is it's like a visual mixtape - each artist picks a song that they think represents the theme of 'Chemistry' and creates a piece of art of written piece that reflects it. The finished magazine is great, everyone's interpretation of the theme is so different, and the people that have taken part are all so talented.

This is my piece, inspired by the song Rest My Chemistry by Interpol, which is about cocaine addiction.

 This is Abby Wright's piece, based on Wet Wet Wet's Love is All Around. Aww :D

 And this is Rachel Price's, based on Friend of the Night by Mogwai.

Do have a download and browse through, the work is stunning! Rachel L xx

Kayleigh illustrates... music

Now this isn't an illustration of lyrics, but it is an illustration of my absolute favourite artist ever - Erykah Badu.

If you haven't listened to her music before then I urge you to. I can't put into words the love I have for Badu's music, from her experimental sounds to her poetic lyrics, I will never tire of her creations. 


I literally waited years for her latest album 'New Amerykah Part II - Return of the Ankh', checking the HMV website month after month for a release date. How could an album live up to such expectations? I don't know, but let me tell you - it most certainly did.

The artwork for both New Amerykah Part I and II is another hi-light for me, with the most fabulous illustrations by the very talented Emek. Be sure to check out both the music and the artwork!

I'm not 100% sure if I am happy with this little illo..well I thought I would try some mixed media/collage effect and found it a lot harder than I thought! xoxo

Hello lovely followers!


I love this theme, it allows so much- from illustrating the words, to the emotions and even just drawing to music!

I wanted to use this as a opportunity to do a bit of mixed media work, I hope you like it!

We Illustrate - Music

Well! I thought I was being all organized last week when I emailed the girls on Sunday to let them know what my theme would be...and then forgot to post about it all week on here!

So the theme a little backdated is Music! I thought music is a good subject as it is so personal and songs can mean different things to different people and touch them in different sorts of ways. My idea was to illustrate the lyrics of our favorite songs..

Then I started to think what was my favorite song and became a little stuck! I *think* I'm probably going to to go with the Pixies 'Winterlong' and I do love it so..

Anyways, what have you been up to this past week? Sorry I haven't posted much, I know alot of the tea and crayons ladies have been poorly sick recently, myself included.

I did however end up going to London with my mum and we went to basically all the museums! It was great though probably the V&A was my favorite.

We went to the Tate Modern book shop and picked up an issue of Balled Of..look at my proudness as I show off my work to the rest of the shop hehe :)

Sorry for bad quality pics! Taken with my phone although my mum took some better ones xoxo
