Still here!

I’ve been rather lax in adding stuff to my blog. I’m still working away on self initiated pieces and this is one of them. Always good to keep on doing fresh stuff!

Work

I’ve been neglecting my blog here! I’ve actually been pretty busy working on some nice projects. This is self initiated work. I do love making patterns and bugs are such fun to draw and create.

The Snail's Tale- remaining spreads

I decided to post the rest of the spreads. The story was very restrictive in its 7 prompts only accommodating 7 images. If this was real I’d have to do a lot more work to bring the story to life with more spreads but as I say it was a fun exercise and I’d really love to do a picture book that was purely for the story.

The Little Snail's Tale.

So You may have seen I took part in the Folktale week Challenge on Instagram. I posted an image for each of the 7 prompts- Home, Secret, Path, Smoke, Darkness, Key, Crown. I struggled for a bit to think what to do and how to do it but eventually I settled to write and illustrate a story. It was lots of fun and a good challenge. I would still probably go back and amend some things I feel could improve but for now I’m happy to show what was done over the week. Here is the first page of the story. I will post the rest in the coming days so keep your eyes peeled!

The 100 Day Project

I’m taking part in the 100 Day Project again this year. Last year I only got to around 4 weeks cos of work commitments so I’m hoping to keep up this time if possible. My theme is going to be varied over 14 weeks so if you want to follow along please go to my instagram and my hashtag is #The 100DayProjectfourteen

Look forward to seeing you there!

Advent 2018

So I got to the end of the Challenge I set for myself to do an image a day throughout December for Christmas. Was really fun coming up with the ideas and colour palette.

Hoping for a fabulously busy and creative 2019 to come!

Work and play

I'm afforded the luxury of time to play around a little with my ipad pro. It’s fun but time consuming learning to use it to a level that I’m happy with. I was playing around with textures last night and made this autumn pattern just for fun. It’s not uniform in content or style but it’s all good practice!

The monsters are part of a series I am working on through October and you can see them on my instagram. Enjoy October and all it’s fun and spooky festivities!

Work and a little play

Been neglecting my blog of late. Been on hols and back to masses of work. All fun stuff but as usual nothing I can show! Here is a little taster of my play on my new ipad pro! I’ve had it for about a month now but I’m hoping to eventually spend more time on it with actual work.
