The Clay Maiden

Finally, a new piece of illustration! I'm tempted to move to tumblr... I just get the feeling that's it's quicker than blogger. 

Ram's skull bike seat

My dad, who's very into motorbikes, asked me to do a design to be tooled into a leather bike seat. How cool? Anyway we sent the designs off ages ago and I'd kinda forgotten about it all until I got an email from my Dad today to tell me he'd got some photo's for me! I'll upload some more photos, hopefully of the seat actually on the bike within a few weeks!

Anyway, here's the photo!

Medusa's Fish

Hi guys! Sorry it's been a while. I've not uploaded any work to my blog for ages... So I thought I'd show you something I've done recently.
I was asked to design a band logo for the band Medusa's Fish and here's how it turned out!
I'd also suggest having a peek at their facebook page @Medusa's Fish and spread some facebook love!

Little Nan

Just a quick post to show you all my (hopefully) finished illustration, Little Nan! Let me know what you guys think?
I'm forcing myself back into drawing after not having time for it over Christmas. I really love the Christmas season but it gets so chaotic and busy that it's hard to find time to do everything you want to.

Moon baby

So, Hello all!
Firstly, I apologise for the radio silence for what seems to be quite a long time... I'm currently working two jobs, & then trying to illustrate on top of that. I spend most of my time feeling tired or grumpy but it really makes me realise just how much I want to turn my art into a career. I'm exploring some other avenues after speaking with some very talented artists who have been so incredibly helpful to me. I love that even well known and busy artists as so willing to help out newbies such as myself. The best way to learn is to ask people who have been in your position and people who have been in your position know just how tough it is.
I really respect anyone who has created a career out of their art, a career enough to live on in this business is such a fantastic feat. I hope to be one of you people.

Anyway, I'm currently working on something so I'd thought I'd show you all. Tell me what you think? I'm not too sure why, but in my half asleep - not quite on this planet - stupor I decided that it should be called "Moon baby" and saved it as such.

DeForest

Did I mention I was asked to do two front cover illustrations in my last post about this? I can't remember. Anyway, I was asked to do two one for the title "The Bitten Mouth" and one for the title "DeForest". 

So here's my illustration for DeForest. enjoy!

Recent works

Here's a little peak at one or two things I've been working on recently. The first is called "dogsbody dancing shoes" which I still feel like i need to add an extra something to, but can't decide what. The second is a Dragonfly which someone asked me to draw for them. enjoy!

Sneak peak

Just some things I've been working on, and one completed thing!

Today I was featured in Computer Arts... as a man.

Well, I would like to clarify, I am female, I don't wear glasses and I most certainly do not have a beard! Today I popped to my local WHSmiths and picked up a copy of Computer Arts, I was pleasantly surprised to see my work in this issue! I knew they were publishing it but I didn't know when... but... then something struck me. Something about it wasn't quite right...

I burst out laughing in the middle of Smiths, so in a way Computer Arts have made my day but I'm surprised such a well known and respected magazine would make such a cock-up. Just incase people are wondering THIS is what I look like-

Anyway! If you would like to see the royal blunder in real life and have a good old chuckle and my gender misfortune you can see it in this issue -

Hope you all have a good week!

Black Trumpet Lion - The works in progress

I've not updated for a while because I've wanted to save my "sneak peek" pictures for a long blog post that shows in order my works of progress and a hint to my process. This particular piece took a lot longer than I had hoped so this post has been a long time in the making. I'll start with the finished illustration, My black trumpet lion-

Now for the progress images and some nice detail shots-

Like a boar with apples

Hi guys, I created a design for Threadless.com and just wanted to promote it as much as I can. It would be a fantastic help is people could vote, comment or even share this with friends! I'd appreciate it so much! If you could like to vote, just click HERE to be sent to the page!

Thanks!

Deviant art winner!

So, I've been meaning to put this up for awhile but I've been so busy and I keep forgetting... but here it is! I won the DeviantArt 'Cute Monsters' design competition and they've put my design in their shop.

So if you fancy buying one, here is the link.
