Finally...

At last, after months of planning and several dummy books, I'm making a start on finals for 'Little Bird'- my major project children's book for my Degree Show! I'm working mainly in watercolours with ink but also with some screenprinted elements. Each spread will be put together on Photoshop. Here is one of my favourite images of Little Bird so far. Hope you like her!

Illustration Friday: Fluid

Happy Valentines Day!


Happy Valentines Day, everyone!

This little mouse is taken from a card design that I think suits different occasions. Happy Birthday, Thank You, and...Valentines Day!

Rosie and Russell

These characters have had so many name changes since I first drew them but I've decided now to call them Rosie and Russell.

The story I have come up with for Rosie and Russell is that their parents have bought the run-down house to renovate and they see the house as a playground. Here are the 3 illustrations I made:
