My personal easter tradition.
I have haven't been posting much lately, as I've been busy this past week. Busy with what you ask? Busy designing Christmas cards for Moo. That's right, Moo have asked me to be and one of their designers. Contracts have been signed and everything. I am incredibly honoured. Some of their other designers are amazing (I particularly like Daphne Louter, Andrea Joseph and our own Marc Johns). Here's a sneak peak at some of the Christmas card designs I'm working on.
I got this book out from the library yesterday and have been thoughly inspired by it.
Here are some of my sketch book pages.
This is an old illustration, I shall admit, but a) I'm really busy at the moment, b) it fits perfectly and c) it been a while but I still really like this one. Plus it's probably new to most of you. ;)
This is acrylic paint and text on textured brown paper.
I love limited colour palettes but don't use them as much as I should. Acrylic paint in my brand new Paperchase sketch book.
Painted on spoons. Just because. (I got the spoons from the college cafeteria)
Urgh. Double posted. I don't really want to delete either though.

Weird. I don't know why it says this post has 2 comments when it has 6.
This is a commission I actually started a while ago but but college and the like took over. The comissioner was incredible patient and over the Easter holidays I got these finished. They are a mixture of watercolour, collage and ink. I personally think she did an awesome job framing them.
Here's a card I made for one of my grandmothers. I painted butterflies with watercolours and white ink.
I bought my mum earrings and crumbly fudge and made two pies for dessert; an french style apple tart and a deep dish rhubarb and ginger pie.
I hope all the mums reading this had a lovely day today.
What's the best thing about today?
I'm pretty happy with how this drawing turned out. It's acrylic paint, brown pen, collage and a little white ink. Also I had porridge with fresh blueberries and stewed rhubarb for breakfast which was delicious.
