MNAC

A couple of photos of a little commission for a friend of a friend. She was quite specific with what she wanted, and I was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I hope she was happy with the result!

Robins.

Playing about with my paints over last weekend, as I couldn't leave the house due to the snow.

Quite enjoyed painting these little fella's though.

Another Critter...

a commission for a Christmas present.
Lovely story surrounding this, a nice man asked me for a giraffe for his girlfriend for Christmas as they'd both seen my Kino Feuer stuff (below) - but she also emailed me to organise a 'surprise' present for him! I expect both were surprised! haha.

Horticulture

I was asked by the lovely Sophie Charara to do a piece of work for an exhibition that she was organising to showcase new and emerging talent. The theme was 'Common People' and I (very loosely!) based my work on different perceptions of culture in and around the London Underground. This meant a lot of researching of many different 'common climbing plants', in which I am definitely NOT an expert! I now know what nasturtiums look like, and quite a lot about various climbing weeds.

Big big thank you to Sophie and also gorgeous Sophie Caldecott - both write for Style and Then Some, definitely worth a gander!

Thanks to Bonnie Moriarty and Sophie Powell for being my support/drinking pals for the night xx

Kino Feuer

I received a package in the post last week from the lovely Jon Mills of Kino Feuer. I'd done a few drawings for him for merchandise, and he sent me some samples - so good to see my work as a product instead of just on the screen! Very happy with the outcome too, looking forward to working with him some more, really enjoyed doing this little job!

The bear tote bag - my critters are all available to buy.

Brid.

A quick drawing from location in Bridlington. I wanted to escape Lincolnshire so travelled to Yorkshire on search of something a bit different...the Sea! But it was too cold on the beach and the tide was in (well planned, not thinking it was October...) So ended up sat in a very nice ice cream parlour and coffee house. It looks very unfinished but I'm sort of glad I was kicked out at 4.30pm, otherwise I would probably have done too much as usual!

Critters

A commission I've been working on for a while now for an up and coming (and very talented) musician, and really enjoying doing! Loving slopping ink about again, it makes a lovely change to sitting on a production line. I'm currently living at home again so I can save some money in order to move back to London in the new year... 

Finished items should be up soooon!
