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.

Bens Birthday Book

 

 

 

 

 

Hello to you all, and I hope your weather has been as nice as it is here, if a little windy.

A little while ago I was asked by an old school friend to create a birthday book for her nephew Ben. She wanted the book to be about him and his family, a keep sake. 

She wrote the story with her family and I illustrated the pages along side, bound the book and sent it off. 

The last image is Ben reading his book, its great to see something coming to life and the audience it is intended for enjoying it. 

All grown up

My little sister is all grown up and moved out. I thought I would give her a little housewarming gift. As she had all of the bits and bobs she needed, I drew her this image to add a bit of colour and art to her flat. 

Work in progress

Hello everyone.

Here is a late (work in progress) valentine treat. 

I have been listening to a lot of Ella Fitzgerald over the past few years and have only recently thought about creating art work for it. This one will change a bit as some of the words need to be re-positioned and might play around with colour a bit. Lots more to come. 

Happy Saturday 

Thank you

 

A while back I created some thank you cards, and here they are. Maybe create s pack of thank you cards along this theme?

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No..oh wait its a bird

Guess what I drew some more patterned things! I'm going to add to the yellow buildings I think, try out different tree ideas. Also which colour combo do you prefer with the birds? Or niether of them?

Muchas Gracias.

Hello again and give away

Firstly hello!

Sorry its been so long again.

Attached is the invitation I created for my good friend Faye who is getting married in July. (Sorry for the bad picture quality I'm not sure why that happened?)

Anyway I have been busy drawing away. I am working on some new things with DK and the childrens book I mentioned a while ago is coming to the final stages! So nearly ready to buy YAY.

What is Love?

Hello lovely people!

Last week I entered the TigerPrint comp 'What is love' my card 'You make my tummy feel funny' was a running up design!

This competition gave me a chance to use typography, which was actually really fun. Cheak out the very deserved winner here. Her design is truly beautiful.

I'm off again next at the end of this week for a bit more skiing! (Very excited) Lets just hope I don't land on my head this time!

New Book?

This cheeky chap will be in a book I am working on at the moment.

Have a chipper day

Some sketches of birds! I will soon be colouring up the birds and text to make into cards, patterens and textiles, all coming soon! I hope you are all well and you have a chipper weekend.

falalalalalalalala

Hello lovelies. I was wondering if you could let me know which cards you like as I am hoping to sell some cards soon, and maybe I will give away a free pack sometime next week! Two things will be changing, the background colour of We three kings and the text on the card with the raindeer and baubles.

It would be great to get your feedback, thanks :D

Card designs....maybe....

Hello lovely people.

Here are two card designs I wipped up, let me know what you think. I have been working slightly diffrently to how I usually work so it would be great to get some feedback :)

Use your loaf

(Winning entry)

These images are possible entries into a competition to design imagery for tote bags. The images have to incorporate bread and cornwall, also I can only use two colours (the white areas will be the bag if its printed). Your feedback on the designs and colours would really help. Thanks :)

Poster again!

The same but different! Once again it would be great to have some feedback. It is at times like this you relise how great it is to be in a studio full of people who can give you constructive feedback! I'm home now for easter holidays (really early and long break!) trying to work, which is hard when its so nice outside.

Grow your own cover

I just relised I never showed the front cover for the project I did last year about growing food at home. So here it is!
