A couple of things

Things have been busy this year, started a new job as a junior artworker which is sadly coming to an end soon (which is why I haven't had much time for my own creative juices recently) but I have been working on a couple of things today, almost finished. Perhaps a few colour tweaks here and there but here we go for now....

Self-initiated spread design for the holiday season, information sourced from a Viking river cruises research article.

A quick spread design using illustrator and photoshop this afternoon. 

James and the Giant Peach.

Merry Christmas (Its nearly here!)

George and Oscar are finally finished, maybe just in time to make a few cards if i get really organized!

Christmas is coming...

Feeling in the festive mood this evening after decorating the tree and drawing a pair of festive friends.

A busy week so far, xmas shopping before the big rush, work and finally a few moments to get some drawing done. 

Miss Zebra continues!

Meet Miss Zebra...

Meet Miss Zebra.

Z is for ...

ZEBRA! Making things a little more interesting, a random A-Z leading up to Christmas of animals. Something was telling me to start with Z today! (A zebra features in my Leopard and Ladybug tale too to come....)

Forgot Mrs Hippo!

Not forgetting Mrs Hippo

hopefully she will turn into a lovely design at some stage part of the Leopard and Ladybug ...

Catch up!

Apolgies for the lack of blogs! Busy peak trade, Christmas songs on repeat and the rush has hit retail!

BUT on a more interesting note! Look what arrived last week....

Very happy to receive my designs for the Ohh Deer competition pride of place at home now :)

And on another note, a little bit of doodling recently turned into dinosaurs! Something a bit different.

A quick hello.

I haven't felt quite the ticket recently so I have been drawing to take my mind off things today. Meet Mr Elephant...

Also, on a slightly different note, Ohh Deer have announced the second stage of their pillow fight competition. WHICH means my 2 pillow designs will be on sale alongside others for 3 weeks starting Monday! After which, the finals will be chosen to be sold permanently. Can't wait to see them live online!

Well this has kept me busy over the last few days, but after finishing in photoshop, 5 sheets of card and a few arguments with the printer later....and it is complete!! All with purple gems and the big glittery 9-0.

Here are a few pictures for you :)
