ABC

It’s finally here and I can shout about it, whoopee!

I have been working on an app with Bobs Books.
The idea of the book is an ABC book with a twist. The app can be downloaded and images can be put into each page by the child or family members. E.g ‘G’ could be an image of grandma and ‘T’ could be an image of their favorite teddy. It means this ABC app can be personalized for each child. Once the images have been uploaded you can send the finished app to get it printed and receive a hard copy.

Something a little different

Something a little different from me. I fancied having a doodle and working with pencil again. I think I will try to recreate this image using just ink next and make the block colour more definate.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

GIBBONS!

This is a page from a book that unfortunatly didn't happen. It was fun drawing these cheeky gibbons, maybe more from these cheeky chappys!

Feeling Joyful

A strong, slightly camp tattooed man, because why not!

Birthday Cards

I was given a breif to create some cards with a link. I created two designs with the aim to create more in the future to add to the range. It was really nice to have quite a free breif and draw some animals in hats of course!

Quick note: the background is actually white but coming up grey for some reason.

Weekend fun

It has been a lovely weekend. We started work on the free G-plan we found by sanding it down. Working out what to do with it next. Then off the beach with my parents and the dog in the lovely sunshine.

Today on the other hand was not so lovely. I couldn't get to the train station platform because it was flooded. So much water! Found this picture taken this morning and posted online. The water managed to reach the top of the metro stands (the blue thing behind the man). Crazy weather.

Vary Rainy Pavements

Back in Feb I went to Venice for a couple of days with my lovely man friend. It rained constantly! But it was still lovely to walk around and get lost in the little streets.

Freebie of the day

Got to love a brilliant free find. We will be painting up this beauty soon.

Copenhagen

Last year I went to Copenhagen with my Mum and sister. It was lovely to have some girly time just the three of us. We spent most our time walking around the Christmas markets, drinking mulled wine and eating cheese! It is a pretty place and who couldn't love the super happy plug sockets!

New Book, sneak peak

 

Here is a sneak peak on an online book that will be out shortly.

Why are pirates called pirates....beacuse they arhh

I created these for a friend’s niece and nephew's birthday. It was fun creating something without too many restrictions and who doesn’t like pirates and unicorns!

It has been way too long! I didn't realise how long it had actually been. Hope everyone is well and enjoying 2014 so far. I have finally been making some patterns. More on the way....promise.
