New Characters

Hello again.. I've been busy last month, but amongst the card and ornament designs, I have created some new characters. They are based on people I know in personality, but not in looks, of course! I intend to use them for a childrens book but have not decided on a story line as yet. I have a few ideas up my sleeve though.

It's Christmas Time!

Well.. it's only few weeks since my last blog and I've rememberd to blog again. Can't be bad. So here is another painting from my sketch book. This will probably be used for a Christmas card. I know, it's nowhere near Christmas at the moment but when you work in the Greeting card market Christmas is on the mind for nine months of the year!

Hi There,

I'm not much good at these blogs, as you can see. I really must get to grips with it. I tend to get wrapped up in whatever project I'm doing and forget other things around me, hence the lack of blogging. But, I'm going to try and do it a bit more regularly now.

As well as illustration work, I also design greetings cards. Here is a sketch for a Christmas card not yet coloured up yet. I tend to have books full of sketches or on my desk or notice board but I don't get round to painting them up for months sometimes.

Anyway, I love to draw mice but I always wish I could get that initial spontaneaty in the final paintings that comes out in the initial drawings. Don't we all!
