Hello guys!

Hope you're all fab

Sooooooo I have been a busy little bee, sorting out post exhibition commissions and now creating a limited edition range of hand painted tees based on the infamous Holding Hands painting (say 'ooo!' here lol). Have a look at the pictures below, and let us know what you think.

These tops are also fairtrade, 'cause I think every little helps. And, instead of an annoying tag, the fab info is printed inside the collar- how top!

This design is now for sale at www.ruthjoyce.bigcartel.co.uk.

Hope you like 'em guys!!

Hello my lovely ladies!

Right, I've been developing a new design and tested it on a tshirt of my own. The (annoying) ribbed effect of the top got in the way abit, but you can sort of see what this design will be like. Have a look and let me know your thoughts!

Course this design can be placed anywhere on the top (I've always liked it on the side lol).

The ladies range will be available with this Boy Star design (I'm thinking of creating afew different tattoos as well as the stars so each one will be even more unique)and the Girl design (see previous blog if you don't know which one she is).

I'm currently getting a few tshirts to test this design on, so keep a beady eye out for them!

Alreet girls!

Right I need as many of you to let me know what you think about these hand painted t-shirts I'm planning on doing. Below are some examples of the mens range I did so you can sort of see what they'll be like.

So girls - Skinny fit t-shirts or fitted vest tops?

Which do you prefer- the white ink on black or the black/coloured ink on white?

Does Small, Medium, Large cover most sizes?

The tops will be between £25.00-£30.00, depending on how long it takes me to do each one. Also each one will be 100% unique, and the whole range will be limited edition.

Please leave your comments with your views for me, it's so helpful!!

Hey kids...:

Wanna be on a billboard at my upcoming exhibition in April? I wanna show people Myspace is fab for art, not just music or film. So I'm putting up a Myspace board!

If you love my stuff send me a picture of you with I Love I.S.T.A.L OR I'm an Extreme Demon in the picture somewhere, either to my inbox here or to ruthjoyceart@hotmail.co.uk. Yehh!

Here are some I've already been sent :-)

Hey y'all,

So, got new prints up in even more places now which is fab. These first photos are from Angels Cafe in Oakham, a great little place which does awesome Italian food on Thursday and Friday nights! They chose a range of extreme sports prints, and really liked the white on black work. Shown here are four of the prints because 'Holding Hands' sold almost instantly!

I get a little birthday surprise while in there the other day haha oh the embarrassment.

These next twho photos are from the Youth Cafe in Melton Mowbray. They bought two of the band members from I'm Sure That Aint Legal and have ordered the other three already to complete the set!

The guys in charge let the kids chose which prints to buy and they chose the two music ones above, but the main piece is the A1 print of Blood and Mud shown below. Really chuffed they liked this one!

So all is good and looking groovy for christmas!

Hope everyone's well, love

Right kids, here's the skinny.

Afew weeks ago Anthony of Exit Fashionwear in Melton asked me to paint up a big board for his shop. The brief = do what you like - hardest thing ever! Anyway this is what I came up with -

If you look in the album Commissions for shops you can see some close up photos of the detail such as the guys sleeve, have a look and let me know what you think.

Doing this was fun, never done any large scale stuff so was a good experience

This is it up in the shop!

Boo ya

Hello all, ok here we go. I got asked to paint afew tshirts as a sort of limited edition one off thing for Exit in Melton, just as an experiment. So here's the first 6, there's 6 more coming (when I can get off my arse and get them done).

Hello all!

Just a quick one (no pun intended) to say ta to all the mags and papers who have been helping me out, including Art & Soul Magazine, The Melton Times and The Rutland Times. It's all been a huge help.

Art & Soul Magazine is a fairly new one, blending music and art together (about bloody time someone did) and it looks awesome. It also gives a chance to musicians, artists and writers to get their stuff out there. Fab-u-larse.

Check them out at www.myspace.com/artandsoulmagazine, www.artandsoulmagazine.com or www.unityrocks.blogspot.com - where I was put as the Myspace of the week!

Ahh Boi
