Sketches of Siskins

Hi there folks! This week I'm working on a picture of a Siskin for a private commission. I think I can already reject the last sketch, he looks a bit too angry! Now to choose between the other three, hmmm... better get back to work - no rest for the wicked.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you soon x

Photos of SORTED London at east Gallery

Hello folks! Yes, I know these should have been up on Saturday. However there were unforeseen circumstances... namely that I fell asleep when I should have been doing this blog post. I've had a cold lately which has been giving me a lot of disturbed nights, so I seem to be napping at all hours. Anyway, some commemorative photos if you missed the show - enjoy!

The birds are enormously grateful!

Hello hello! Well it's been a log week but SORTED London finally came to an close. It was a rather emotional finish, and we all procrastinated hugely when it came to taking our work down because we just didn't want the fun to end. The show was hugely successful, more so than any of us exhibitors anticipated. And that success was down to YOU! You lovely people, who travelled across London and the whole of Great Britain to come show your support for all of us. So to you, an enormous and very humble thank-you! However, I do understand that not everyone who wanted to come was able to make it. So, without further ado, I present the internet debut of my pieces for the show at last. Enjoy!

Wren and Dog-Rose

Redstart and Bluebells

Greenfinch, Primroses and Fritillaries

Starling and Hawthorn

The Nightingales

I'll be sure to post my photos of the show on saturday... after I've been swimming. I've not been in ages, excited!

Until then, peace people.

My pieces for SORTED London - ooh you tease!

Only two more sleeps to go until SORTED London opens its doors to flood the East end with colourful illustrative goodness! I've made five completely new pieces for the show, all of which will be gracing the pages of this blog very shortly... however, I didn't want to give too much away too soon. So for the time being, here's a little teaser of each piece for you to enjoy!

After all, I don't wanna give the game away before you've had a chance to visit the show, do I? But if you don't have a chance to visit the show due to not being in the same city/country, or simply being too busy, don't worry! I will post up the complete pieces eventually, as well as photos of the show and private view for you to enjoy. For those of you that can make the show, I look forward to seeing you there!

SORTED London - illustration show June 2011

Hello hello! Sorry I've been absent for so long, the illustration exhibition I'm taking part in is just a week and a half away so I have been frantically busy! However, I am finally starting to see the light at the end of my incredibly long to-do list. Artwork is finished, invites sent out, frames bought and everyone is now getting ready for that final push before the show...

The fun starts on Thursday 9th June when SORTED opens its doors for the private view, which runs from 6pm - 9pm. It will then run until Wednesday 15th June. As well as showing work there will be prints for sale and even some lovely free goodies for you to take home with you. Not bad, eh? You can read more about it on the SORTED London website or facebook page.

Hope to see you there!
