A sneaky peek to my exciting life!

I got challenged in social media to share photos about my everyday life and as a crafty girl who unfortunately owns none of the modern day gadgets I drew some instead.

Yes. I do sign writing as well.

A joyous surprise for the cleaner, first thing in the morning!

My main protein source. Life as a struggling artist, eh.

Ed totally knows when I need some motivational chocolate. Oh yes and he's never actually that still in the kitchen.

That's where my boyfriend lives in. Location changes.

Greek mythology creeps into everything!

I drew a birthday card for a friend and experimented with pens this time! To be fair I wouldn't have strayed away from my comfort zone if I had had my quill and ink at hand but I'm travelling at the moment and only had some pens with me. It was good though, I quite enjoyed them for change and was positively surprised with the outcome. The idea was to make an angel for good luck but I can't help thinking it looks a bit more like a sleepy harpy. I'll never be a good Christian.

Comeback!

Apologies for not updating the blog for ages! I had some right adventures in the last eight months but now since my life has calmed down a bit I thought I'd share some character designs I've done. These were for a film project but unfortunately I had to pull out for health reasons (Can anyone hear the smallest violin in the world playing?). I'll add a few more when I get the scanner sorted out!

New goddess!

Here's the third deity in what's turning into a bit of a series now. This one's Artemis, the goddess of wild animals, hunting and childbirth. I drew her as a kind of a patron saint for my friend who's a midwife.

I used indian ink and promarkers again (and the flash gold and silver pens!). Here's the drawing before I coloured it:

Limeade posters

Limeade's our almost fortnightly mucic event in the Globe Tavern, here's some of the posters I've done. The first one's a bit scruffy but I'll show it to you just for it's humour value!

Death and tiger are doing a comeback!

I've wanted to bring these two characters from my first publication (unfortunately they're not in the story posted earlier in this blog) back and when my friend asked me to draw something for his festival zine I knew their time had come! The festival is called Gelati, hence the ice cream. Though does ice cream need any excuses?

Posse!

I've been recently drawing some portraits of my friends. I've used indian ink and Promarker pens (and an awesome gold pen too!) in these ones. Oh except in Anna's one I used a byro, indian ink and inkwash.

That's Sandra looking for her inner Spartan ("Where did it go?") - hopefully she has found it by now.

Anna's just having a cigarette with the genie in a bottle, casual.

Kathryn was born to be my unicorn.

Maddie is just being epic as usual!

...and Juliet is feeling slightly mexican.
