Custom Sequin Emoji Patches
Recently I was approached to see if I would make some of my sequin emoji patches, that I made for Gwen Stefani last year, for a custom order.
I get asked a lot to make custom sequin patches but I don't document everything that I make, which I want to do more of!
So here are some of the finished made-to-order sequin emoji patches that I made.
I personalised some of the patches to the customers unique taste. For example I gave the resting bitchface emoji pink lips instead of red!
I also made the dancing girl emoji patch in a black dress with black hair instead of the usual red dress.

I no longer sell any of these sequin emoji designs on my website but you can request them as a custom order.
Bad Aliens
I released a collection called 'Bad Aliens' in January of last year. The idea behind the collection was to explore 'What would happen if aliens treated humans, how humans treat animals?'
In 2014 I become quite obsessed with extraterrestrials, all I would watch is documentaries on abduction stories, ancient alien theories, UFO sightings. I've always found all things otherworldly interesting. Ghosts, magic, cults, the universe, there is something about the unknown that is alluring to me.
The thought of extraterrestrials visiting earth scared and excited me at the same time. Lets believe these extraterrestrials are more advanced than us (which they probably are if they're capable of visiting us), how will they treat us, the 'inferior' species? Would they be 'good' or 'bad' aliens?
I looked to the way humans treat animals, a species many humans agree to be inferior to them, as inspiration. To begin with, a lot of humans see animals as tasty snacks, hot dogs in the making. I had quite a lot of fun imagining an alien fast food restaurant with human burgers on the menu.

Secondly, I know a lot of humans love to wear animals. Many wear animal fur coats as a status symbol, to show off to the other humans. I imagined aliens doing the same with humans, with one posing smugly with a skinned 'gorgeous blonde' draped around their neck.

The human scarf is inspired by a certain blonde American teen, who kills wild animals like Lions and then smugly poses with their dead bodies as trophies. Which leads me onto my next piece, which was inspired by the way many humans enjoy hunting animals.

I thought of the ways in which humans justify hunting animals and imagined aliens using the same justifications to hunt humans. "Its kinder than other methods of controlling the human population, they are never left injured, they either get away or are killed." or if all else fails "Its tradition!"
Taking into consideration some of the ways humans treat animals as an example, our fate in the hands of extraterrestrials doesn't look good. We can only imagine what would happen if aliens were to serve humans some cosmic karma.
