Om nom in my tum

I baked this last week and it was well tasty... makes me think I need to do some more baking this weekend! Maybe I'll do cupcakes this time...

Flamingo mag launch night

Greetings all! Just dropping in quickly to share some piccies with you all from the Flamingo Magazine launch night which my buddy June Chanpoomidole was involved with - her piece of work is the one directly below. It was a fun night and I thoroughly enjoyed sipping some Swedish (or was it Norwegian?!) cider and sampling a shot of Agwa de Coca with a slice of lime. Just a quick note... I was stupid enough to forget to note down the names of the people the other pieces belong to - get in touch if it's yours or you know who did it, I'd like to add the artists to my networks online :3

Frog shaped eggcups - more random stuff from my life

Welcome to March people! Spring is officially in the air - snowdrops and crocuses are popping up all over the place, my garden is chock full of birds and there seems to be a friend with a birthday almost every week. I've been enjoying the small amount of sunshine we've been getting, and cracking on with the owl painting I mentioned a couple of instalments ago, which is almost ready for me to start putting colour on it (excitement!)

Last May I visited a friend in Ireland, who took me to Giddy Studios, where you choose pottery pieces that you then paint! Since we didn't have any eggcups yet, I decided to get these cute little frog ones and make 'his and hers' souvenirs for me and the fiance. Since the pottery has to be fired after the glaze is applied, I needed to wait a while before I got to see them (and they've spent the best part of a year waiting for me to come and pick them up from another friend's house!) However, when I finally clapped eyes on them this Saturday I was very pleased. Mine is a Ziggy Stardust themed one (I'm a bit of a Bowie fan) and Chris' is a gaming related one. Boiled eggs for breakfast I think!

Ruination and regeneration

Hello folks! Hope y'all had a good Valentine's Day - unfortunately me and my chap spent most of ours nursing colds, which unfortunately we are still suffering with. It's amazing how much illness can slow you down, so I'm really looking forward to getting my energy back. For the time being, here's some photos from one of my trips up north which seem to reflect my thoughts at this moment - of endings and new beginnings.

IHeart... My Favourite Place zine available now!

Hello everyone, just a quick post while I'm on holiday to share some exciting news with y'all - the zine I'm in is all finished and available for purchase right now! The theme is 'my favourite place', and it's a little bit special because as well as having supplying images, we illustrators also recorded sounds which you can listen to online whilst viewing the pictures. It's an interactive experience!

Hope you're all having a fab week, even with the miserable weather!
