Cold and dark...

Succumbing to the Christmas countdown...

And so I've finally started working on Christmas card ideas....

....Fights and Dreams....

 

Floating ideas.......Siamese fighting fish.

Long time.......no posts.

I'm sorry there's been such a long gap from me, what with moving house and other priorities I have only just set up the room I intend to do my art-working in, so here I start in the new house with a birthday commission :)

The final squeeze...

                 

The final piece going forward for the CD silk for Josie and the Lovecats new EP ' My Heart's an Idiot'.

Another tight squeeze...

    

Furthering the idea.

Squeeze me.

        

          

   

I am back on commission again for another CD silk for local band Josie and the Lovecats, who are preparing for a long summer of festival loving, and will shortly be releasing a new EP under the name 'My Heart's an Idiot'.

These are my roughs so far for the CD silk.

The owl-shoe adventure

                            

             

                   

      

              

                   

              

           

   

 

These were created for my dear friend Saira, as she has gone on a two month gardening adventure.....so now she has something to remember me by ;)

Five Years....and my first shoe adventure!

                                                       

                    

              

           

                          

               

My first dab at drawing/painting on footwear, they are artworks by Stanley Donwood who has done much of Radiohead's artwork, I am not claiming any credit for the designs, and these are a one off for my significant other to celebrate our anniversay :)

Enjoy!

Sun'doodle'day's owls...

Pinkerton owl

 

Blue 'n' reddy

 Reddy steady go!

 Little grey...

This one went a bit 'gremlin'

Satur'doodle'day

I think there must be something in the sunshine today...

A colour explosion.

A birthday card for my special 'someone'

To my mum.

I don't like buying cards when I know I can make them, so this is the card for my mum for mother's day :)

'Whispa' and the start of a new fascination

 

I've spent the past couple of hours looking at people's home made plush animals....and then remembered my favourite ever jumble sale find.....'Whispa' my little corduroy fox :)

Between black and white

 

I've been feeling a bit like this lately.....between the keys of black and white.

A personal favourite....

                                               The last of my tree spirit kitty rough sketches, and this one is definately my little favourite!

Variations...

                                                                                           

I'm still preferring the ones in kitty suits, but I can't decide about colours, if and what?

So that's my shadow?!

 

number two

And a touch of 'where the wild' kitties are....

New beginnings...

                                                                                                                                                      

 

This one is for Jo, for the beginning of our new journey, inspired by tree spirits and pussycats......

Happy Birthday Squish!

A bizarre way to start the new year in blog form,

but all in aid of a big Happy Birthday to my sister for Friday :)
