So, after a few requests from some good people I have relented and karenjane.com is back. It replaces an online portfolio that I first launched in 2003 and which, through many mutations ceased to be sometime in ‘07. This is kind of my first post in real-time. Everything earlier than this are in fact back-posts (no pun intended) to build up the portfolio section with some previous work and happenings. I’m probably going to continue to pad that part out as I go as well. So, as they say, onwards and backwards…

This is my latest notebook. I always have one that goes literally everywhere with me for ideas, ramblings etc. It’s always there, and I mean always, in my bag or pocket or by the side of my bed for when some random thought seems good enough to want to remember. In fact if I don’t take it out with me it’s guaranteed that I’ll want to write in it, and if it’s there at least I feel like somehow I’m still working. I just pulled out some stuff from there for Summer pieces, which are on their way… I’m particularly loving the book at the moment as it’s covered in icon stickers made from the NBFG x Addict co-lab design which is now only a couple of months away from launching. But talking of the co-lab, we are going to celebrate the drop, thanks to the nice people at Addict HQ, by giving away a bunch of stuff on the site. So keep em peeled for that, free stuff rules right?

Damn, I forgot I did these. They’ve been sittin’ on my shelf until someone emailed me about them last week. I designed these letters a while back now, made them into badges in the summer, indulged my ocd by dividing up the colours and compiling them into alphabet sets… Then promptly forgot about them. Only 26 sets in existence. Mail me if you want some.
