Conor Thackray - living with it

This week has been a mixture of highs and lows, the most recent low? Getting absolutely sodden walking lil knit wit to nursery today (he had enough sense to request his pram and rain cover) the most recent high? 

One of my very good friends is releasing his own album! And I had the pleasure of doing the album artwork! 

Conor is a very talented guitarist who I've known since.... Well a long dammed time! He also really likes wolves hence the artwork. 

I had great fun doing this for him , mainly because he didn't really know what he wanted , and do this idea immediately popped into my head! 

I'm a huge fan of the self release of albums, I think it's a great way for musicians to get their music heard. Speaking of which if you'd like to have a little listen to the rough drafts of his SELF WRITTEN (oh yeah, he writes himself, even one direction don't do that) songs then you can find them here : https://soundcloud.com/conor-thackray

Although if you want the super duper spiffy versions you'll need to buy the album at a very reasonably priced £3! 

And you can also find him on Facebook Conor 1N Thackray 

Can't really put into words how proud of him I am 

Much love

I want to play a game.....

Mr Knitwit loves horror movies, and after a little while I've learnt to love them aswell. I'm not a huge fan if blood and gore (he is) but I do like the ones where's there's a good phycological plot. 

Now the "saw" movies cover both bases, there dammed disgusting but there's actually a really good story behind them! 

Anyway they are mr knitwits favourite movies so when he found the #sawartchallenge being advertised on Facebook his first words were: 

"Art? You could do that!"

"You know if you want"

"I'm not bothered , if your not busy" 

"But have you umm seen the prize" 

So being a soft touch and the worlds best girlfriend I did this for him and entered! 

The brief was to do a piece of art inspired by the world if saw! Not bad for a mornings work! 

I'm not getting my hopes up though I've seen some really awesome stuff so far, including a beautiful oil painting of the main character! 

Much love
