FINALS for my children's book.

So, I'm getting pretty close to being finished with this project - I loved it, but I'm glad it's over.
So here are my finals, as finished as I think they'll ever be.
Much love.

Spreads.

Three mock up spreads for the book.
Much love.

Girls and dogs.

Character studies of Ivy and Bernard, the girl and the dog.
She is pretty much me when I was five, and the dog is a mixture of my poor old sprollie, my boyfriend and Stephen Fry. So I love him excessively.
Much love.

Woodlands.

Some studies for the forest in my current project about a little girl who gets lost. Lots of fun in drawing these, hope you enjoy.
Much love.

Lost, lost.

These images are for the uni project I am currently working on, a children's book where a little girl and her dog get lost in the forest.
Early visuals.
Enjoy.
Much love.

Protector of the Knowledge!


My loyal panda Louis stays vigilant in his protection of my dissertation research.

Not much to guard sadly, but bless him, his intentions are good.

Much love.

"I'm saving it for the birdies!"

My mum (known to myself and my closest friends as 'Duck') used to say about bread crusts and biscuits and so on which she would leave out for the various feathered friends which frequented her workplace. Just a nice little story, really.

Now, these images are early roughs for the Bird's in Flight installation for the RLB display window we Illustration students are doing to promote the British Art Show 7, and the rebranding of the university. (Birds just seemed a nice way of insinuating positivity and growth).

Anyway, comments are appreciated, so do let me know what you think.

Much love.

More of the Twinkling Twenties.

Here is the next installation in my drawings of twenties girls. Enjoy.
Much love.

Bright Young Things.

I am currently feeding my fascination with the fabulous 1920s - I've just finished reading "Brideshead Revisited" by Evenlyn Waugh, and have been listening to an audiobook of P.G.Wodehouse's "Three men in a Boat", and feeling inspired. I've always adored the images of 1920s actresses, models and film stars; they look so sensual, yet haunted... both borderline dead and vigorously alive. I'm aware that I am now speaking nonsense, but you know what I mean. Anyway, here's the first installment of drawings.

Much love.

Pub Drawings.


Did these when I went to the pub with my brother to watch the football. I affronted the men within the pub by drawing and reading 'Brideshead Revisited' - I am clearly an unnatural creature. Anyway, these are the resultant scribbles.

Much love.

Houses, houses everywhere...


Here are a few pen and ink/graphite/mechanical pencil drawings I've done of various bits of architecture from around Plymouth (although the first one is technically a building in Paignton).
I did these for little reason other than my own satisfaction - I do so love old buildings. Please excuse the shoddy quality of the photos - away from my scanner, I have only my phone to take pictures with, so you will have to deal with the 5mp glory of it!

So here you go.

Much love.
