Teddy Bear

Commissioned card illustration. There is text in the white space. But it has been edited off, to keep the identity of the person who will eventually recieve this card a secret ;)

Experimental Cats

I'm constantly trying to think of new imagery I can use on my gift tags, cards etc. Recently I've been trying to consider the importance of shape more often, and I love trying to do very simplistic things at the moment. So that led to this pair of illustrations.
I've started developing the cutout technique I used here, and so now I am using it in a couple of other ongoing projects.

New Year Update

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

As well as visiting Winter Fayres, I spent most of December working on a "2011 Guinea Pig Calendar" as a Christmas present. I'm quite happy with it although I started to run out of time by the end so there are a few images I would possibly make a few more changes to if I had the chance! A sample page is below:


And here are all twelve of the images:

Finally, here are a couple of Christmas cards that I did:

A Test Run For Tomorrow...

My Cat's Protection fayre stall - practice layout. On a kitchen table but you can get the idea :) I'm scared right now since it's the first time I'm selling stuff to the public, but it's very exciting too. Hopefully I'll get lots of photos of it set up properly as well :)

Some new stuff

I've been working hard all week painting things, (mostly cats) hopefully for the CP fayre. I've been trying to turn these into home made coasters, and the prototype ones seem to be working quite well so far. (I realise summer is missing, it's still in progress :) )

CP shop sign

My new replacement for the sign I did last year. I've just laminated it and cut it to the right shape, this little cat is going to look really adorable in the shop window. Next time I'm in Truro this week, I'll go and hand him in.

New work

Pretty self-explanatory. If anyone is in the area, drop in and support the cats :) I'm busy busy designing stuff which I'm hoping to sell there, although at the moment it feels like too many ideas and not enough time. Got some Christmas cards, bookmarks and a few other things in the works, hope I can get it all done...
