a face and an angel

So, here we are, not posting on my blog all that often. I should correct that.  Here is a face, with hair that i like. And here is an angel, done for more cards. I happen to like this one very much. I wish I had such luck with all these angels i have drawn.

Christmas cards

so a while back i did some christmas card illustrations.

Simone

An illustration done for fashion website called Looklet.  I quite enjoyed it, and hope to do more! See it here: http://looklet.com/article/197

Garden girl revisited

You know how you look at an image and you think 'something's missing...' and then it twigs, and you correct it, and suddenly it becomes a whole pile of awesome you never really imagined? Yeah. That happened here.

Run little egg! Run!

Stuff and things

A recent commission for Leitch & CO solicitors (website coming soon). Landmarks of evesham! It reminded me how much architecture fustrates me. I can't get things even, ever. all them angles and mathmatical lengths, gah!

more old things

I just remembered that I did these right at the end of my 3rd year, but they never made their way into my portfolio nor on to any art sites I participate in. they are portraits of two influential aisian writers, Bidisha and Bali Rai. I did them as a commission for Mantra Lingua, a childrens book publisher that specialises in publishing in minority languages. though I am unsure if they ever were used.

sleep? whats that?

and who needs it anyway?

Guache and Quink ink makes a happy maria

So, I've been experimenting the past couple of days with Quink ink and white gouache- and I'm very happy with the results. A very theraputic and easy manipulated medium to use.

Here are some close ups for your perusal:

Old favourites

These are just some older pieces that I particularly like and need to be shown on here. Why are they all facing the same way? guh.
