Out of Valentime

It's soul time but not as we know it. and Yes I know I am late. Valentines day started nearly 9 hours ago and these are my submissions for my valentines cards. Soul has some of the best love songs around so I would be a fool not to take advantage of such love to portray the message of love. I spent a few hours this morning doing these while watching Sunday morning political nonsense. I like them but to most they are really boring.

It's not often I do hand done type and I quite like it. It's not like anything I have seen online.  What do you think? Should I do it more? what do you think?

Happy Birthday Dad

 Most of my friends think I am normal but I will tell you one thing my parents don't, every birthday or christmas, they fear my present presentation. It will be wrapped up in newspaper or political propaganda because I think wrapping paper is a scam (paper just to be ripped & binned). They do like a good card though and this is this years card for my dad because he likes them heavily blogged "Swissted" gig posters. However because I make my own cards, I didn't have an envelope to fit it so I sealed it in 2 sheets of card & sellotape.

All Punned Out

 I am a closet romantic, much like Damon Albarn in the one song he did for trainspotting. I don't really have a chance to show it, but in a small move to show it I made some valentines cards. or E cards. They were sent out yesterday to the great and the good of my friendship group. The response; all very positive. Made peoples days apparently.

As you can clearly see they are all puns. We love puns, We have a pun jar at uni to prevent us going overboard on them as a sum of money will be paid to the jar. The style is my illustration style. Yeah, I hear you said that "but James you are not an illustrator" and I know that. strange that people seem to like it. the lecturers like, my illustrator friends like it and I do. The text is just my handwriting which also seems to draw the tutors eyes.
