A Drawing a Day

I've been trying this drawing-a-day thing and it's been kind of fun! I started on January 1st (appropriately) so I now have 25 days of drawings to share. Hopefully I'll share more regularly throughout the year! These pages have been mashed up, but all 25 are there. More organisation next time. Definitely.

Exhibition

Once again I have been very quiet on the whole blogging/ tweeting/ website side of life-but not in illustration I swear! A little bit of proof is going to be on display in Marhamchurch, Cornwall from Saturday so if you are about please come and take a look! 

Sardinian Times

Last year I visited Sardinian, and it was LOVELY! While I was there I made some friends and they gave me a present - a (slightly creepy) statuette of a Mamuthones: a character from a carnival near to them. As a thank you I decided to draw the Mamuthones along with his creepy companion the Issodores to send to them….AND HERE THEY ARE! Finally ready to make their way back to Sardinia! (Sob) I just wish I was going with them…….

 Mamuthones

Issodores

Despite the fact my Sardinian friends printed off reams of information about the origins of the characters, I'm still not entirely sure I understand the stories-sounds a bit dark to me! Anyway, I did a travel journal while I was away so I have loads of sardinian sketches still to grace this blog. I was a bit too sad to do it in October when I got back while the memories were still fresh and it was lashing with rain here in good ol' England, but now I don't really have an excuse! Watch this space : )

TREASURE!

Here is a little something I whipped up recently to help raise some funds for my old primary school. Treasure maps are FUN!

Oh 2014….

Well, A LOT has been happening. This blog is going to take some serious updating. However it shalt be done : ) I'm going to go in reverse order (as seems most natural to my me!) So we shall start with today…….fanfare please……..I HAVE STARTED AN ETSY SHOP!!! Yay! It's taken a while, but it is ready. Take a peak, it's shiny and new!! : )

And now...

Hopefully this is a taste of what will be appearing next, when I get organised!

A taste of summer.

I haven't posted for a while, but I have been busy....MOVING! Ugh, what a joy. Anyway now (most of) the boxes are unpacked I can show a little bit of what I've been up to. Hopefully, there will be more to come (when I find it!)   

To get us started, here are some drawings of flowers from the garden, including some drawn with my self-made bamboo quill!
