About Me

Hi, I'm Holly, a just-starting-out graphic designer from the midlands. Please check out My shiny website and have a browse through my gallery. You can also have a look round my shop where you can buy prints and keyrings, for I am a student now, and therefore quite poor. If any of you are looking for artwork, especially bands, then please get in touch, I'd be happy to help.
I also help out at Britishhiphop.com (see my top friends!) writing reviews and getting to interview the acts I love. If you've got love for the UK hiphop scene, or hiphop in general, come sign up to the forums and show us some love!
I now have a blog! It'll differ from this MySpace blog. I'll rant more at this one. You can see it here: www.brain-wee.blogspot.com
I'm something of an amateur at photography, but I enjoy it all the same. Please feel free to have a peruse of my flickr account
And for anybody looking for a designer please take a look at my online portfolio here.
And a bit about me, I like lazy summer days outside, good tunes, good company, a good cup of tea (strong, no sugar, a tiny bit of milk). Dancing is also fab, as is inflicting Northern Soul and Indie on people when I get to play at being DJ. I wish people would lighten up, as 100% of the worlds problems are caused by people being too uptight. I try to get on with anybody and try to avoid making assumptions about people (not so easy with this damn female gene). And hugs. Always hugs, they're the best form of therapy available.

We are the generation of fun and games, the logical product of an era that revolved around pop icons and big-screen heroes that then went on to create the mass consumer culture that we know today. We ...
