I got this book out from the library yesterday and have been thoughly inspired by it.

Here are some of my sketch book pages.

Illustration Friday: baby

Peapod Baby

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.

Worry

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.

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.

Butterfly card

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.

Rhubarb pie

I hope all the mums reading this had a lovely day today.

QotD: Today is the Greatest...

What's the best thing about today?

Bird's nest

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.

Illustration Friday: Tales and Legends

Tales and Legends

I haven't one of these for ages; been far too busy but I really wanted to do this one. You can't see in the scan but in real life the dress has beautiful sparkly gold highlights. It's gorgeous paper and I was so excited to use it (thank you Alex!).

the trapeze artist

I love trapeze artists; possibly even more than I love tight rope walkers. This is actually part of a much bigger project I'm working on for my illustration class.

And yeah, the title is a The Postal Service reference.
