I think that I have changed his color scheme about 20 times now, he has been a tricky one but I am now about to clean him up and finishing him of and then I will I start working on some Panda's doing work out.

I have a new Limited edition print out, it's called Sleeping Owl and is a mixed media design created with acrylic paint and photography. It's in a limited edition of 50 and each print is signed and numbered and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The prints measure 59.4 x 84.1 cm and is printed on my favorite paper;  Hahnemuhle German Etching Paper.

Work in Progress: Imse Vimse Spindel

Photobucket


It's Sunday and I am working on some illustrations for Imse Vimse Spindel/Eensy Weensy Spider that will be in a children's book.  I am playing around with the lay out and the colors at the moment, which will set the style and the color scheme of the rest of the book so, this if far from finished and I have a bunch of spiders with umbrellas that also want to be in the book waiting for their turn.

I really enjoy making characters so I am very glad that this project came my way. Now I should get back to my spiders, have a nice Sunday!

A cooky beetle and a grumpy Mac

Photobucket
I am battling my precious Mac at the moment, it started to have a life of it's own and I am
 a bit nervous about how I would be able to do illustration without a computer.

Please, please precious computer do not die on me.

Man and the Ocean - work in Progress

Photobucket

I am trying to use the photo I took in Broadstairs of the man standing on the pier in my work, this is where I am at right now so it is still work in progress but there's just something about that photo that I really like. Next week I will start working on a songbook for children that I am quite excited about, I have never illustrated a book before.
