Everyday I'm hustlin

I think its fair to say the title of this blog post is pretty accurate at the moment, I'm not sure where this week has gone but it has been filled with briefs being ticked off ready for portfolio, handmade type, design competitions, a pattern everyday and a ridiculous amount of coffee and grime mixes to get me through. I have made it through the week though and just a couple more days of early starts/ late evenings before my portfolio goes to print, however I have no doubt after that I will conjure up something else that needs all my time. This happens on the regular, once I decide to do something I will get obsessed with it... just like with Hip Hop baking. Speaking of that next week I shall be back on my a game with hip hop bakes, I have come up with some pretty swish names but they haven't made it from being scrawled on my hand in a sharpie to the mixing bowl just yet.

This weekend was pretty intense on the work vibes, I didn't really stop and I have most definitely perfected the art of rolling out of bed straight onto my desk chair. It's like a habit now, I do manage to throw a shower in the mix mind you. Also it seems during portfolio madness I have perfected a variety of hair styles, every time I took a break from work I was just thinking about doing work so I ended up plaiting, curling, straightening my hair into a variety of hairstyles, even resulted in plaiting it every time I got a brief ticked off...definitely gonna roll with the corn roll look when all of them are done. Here are some visual updates of the week including a very sunny blue sky...its nearly summer yo!

Some hand drawn type for one of my project roll outs at school: 

One of the various plait hair styles I have tested out on my Barnett:

And finally todays flex, ''Packed Lunches for Playas''...one of my projects for my portfolio which is basically what the title says. Packed lunches delivered to the OG playas, all inspired by hip hops greatest. I was dreading this brief a little bit as I have all these visions and sometimes they don't come out how I hope/ visualise in my head but today everything went to plan and I ended up with quite a few good shots and a lot of bagels and cakes for my housemates. It is a spin off of the hip hop bakery brand so obviously includes a baked treat:

Tonight is finishing off the menu for the hip hop bakery and some more hand made type so on that note heres the soundtrack of my life at the moment, also check out my pattern a day if you're interested www.onepatterneveryday.tumblr.com
