1 quarter of a future illustration

Doing some re-decorating at the beginning of the school Easter Holidays created a newly blank wall that needs something on it so I am working on a large illustration based on my flat to fill it! I remember when I was little always seeing a cross stitch picture that my Auntie Eileen had done of her home in Glastonbury and so this project is my own illustrated version of that.

It's been too long...

... since I last posted on my blog, and I miss it! So here is a bit of a character collection that I'm working on and I promise more will follow. xx

Textural Experimentation

Haven't posted for a while but have been playing around with digital collage work, using a mixture of scanned objects/patterns and textures that I've found on Texture Lovers. Thanks to Tina Webster for pointing me in the Texture Lover's direction!

Pearly King and Queen

I love Half Term; sleeping late, baking, cellar-tidying and time to draw Pearly Kings and Queens. This illustration will be hopefully be part of a collection of work about London which I want to screen print at some point. Fingers crossed.

Poster Commission

The above is part of a commission to design a leaflet and poster to encourage more children to take up Art and Design at exam level - an excellent initiative in my opinion!

The leaflet included a very long list of possible careers for students of Art and Design, which reminded me of my secondary school careers advice where, after one hour seated in front of some inane computer program, I was informed that my creative skills would be most suited to the role of an embalmer... Hopefully this leaflet will steer students in a somewhat less morbid direction.

Sugar & Spice & All Things Nice

I have finally updated my website with my new foodie illustrations - all part of my Sugar&Spice&All Things Nice project. Below is a sneaky preview of my illustration for the weirdly wonderful Brown Bread Ice Cream, but you will just have to check out my website to see the rest, won't you!?

Spare Trees Make Nice Pictures

I drew this tree but never needed it for the illustration I was working on so have turned it into to a little view of bunny-based paradise!
