I send so many stupid autocorrected texts, my phone really does hate me.

This series is now upto the fifth issue and I still can’t send proper texts. Everyone who has read the previous zines and this one have laughed the whole way through and then questioned what each text was meant to say. Some of them I’m not even sure what I was trying to say let alone how my phone autocorrects most words, but there are a few funny examples..

4 police vans at euston wonder eggs go = 4 police vans at euston wonder whats up
low dying hair pub in a pub = now dying hair pub in abit
pick up oboe iam bored = pick up phone I am bored.

The fourth in the My Phone Hates Me series, filled with my most recent absurd autocorrected texts I have sent.

Both funny and weird, this is for those of you who have an Iphone. You love it to bits and yet it hates you, its sole purpose it to make you seem stupid. I am forever sending mispelt texts thanks to my phone and I have illustrated some of my favourite and most unusual. There is no indication as to what the texts should have been, it is up to the reader to try and figure that out. But one example is “Hellish Hellish” that was me trying to text the word Hello except I just kept sending the word Hellish over and over.

Stage of ghosts

This pretty much sums up what I think about the whole tupac hologram thing. I was sat on the bus the other day watching a grown woman throw a strop/hissy fit because the bus driver wasnt changing over with a new driver quick enough for her. After this I started to watch her get more and more irate each time he stopped a little longer so the people running for the bus could get on. It started to make me think how impatient society is becomming and expect things to happen in microseconds. The world revolves around its own axis.

I have a few books on my iphone, one of them Ive been trying to read since december. I don’t know how people can avidly read on a machine.

Some of the issues I have with it….
It gives me eye strain.
Why would I pay £7 for a book thats not even real when I could have a physical, real, edible copy for the same price.
I can’t pass an ebook on to a friend who I think might like it after I’ve read it.

And the best bit, no I don’t want to tweet about finishing a book. I don’t phone and text all of my friends everyday I’ve read the whole of the metro, so why would I even want to tweet about it?

The Mallades. It started with me reading an article about ducks and their odd behaviour…

“The strange case of the homosexual necrophiliac duck pushed out the boundaries of knowledge in a rather improbable way when it was recorded by Dutch researcher Kees Moeliker.”

The title is a pun on the fact this makes ducks seem somewhat ill. Mallard is the name for ducks and the french word malade means to be ill, mashed together makes The Mallades.

Today

I get to pick the final printed copies of these two new zines from the printers.

 My Phone Hates Me 2, I have amassed enough auto corrected texts that I’ve sent to create a second volume. As with the first one, my phone is still out to make me look bad.

First thing, everybody loves sick. This started with the vomiting cucumber and a conversation afterwards that I should draw an orange being sick.. that orange being sick turned into many other foods and drinks being sick and that was how this was born.

Available on etsy.

New post: I have no words

This is the second of three lino prints and its about sick.

Last night involved one of those moments of weird madness. I woke up to the sound of sirens around midnight and was convinced it was my new blender.. Until I went into the kitchen and checked it.

This is a drawing of a woman I saw on the bus the other day.. I had to draw her. She had teeth that were made of nightmares. Go on imagine the worst teeth you’ve ever seen and this was them but worse.
Seriously look after teeth… or else I will draw them.

There are a few things I would like to send in the post.
This book is inspired by the frustration of waiting for post, I am forever awaiting post..  One morning I started to think about what weird stuff I would like to send in the post  whilst awaiting post and so these illustrations were born to pass the time.

16 pages / a5 / black and white.

I draw using flash because I dont really understand illustrator and have found every so often it exports my drawings really weirdly. Ive tried saving files differently every which way, changing the dpi, the name, new files and still I cant figure out why its happening.
So here is an example of how my files get saved sometimes…
