MASSIVE GIVE AWAY!

Cue the fanfare, because I am very pleased to announce my massive summer giveaway! As mentioned last time, this is ostensibly to celebrate my birthday, but in fact I have been meaning to do a give away for some time. This was in order to celebrate reaching over 400 followers on twitter, as well as having over 150 fans on my facebook page!

There is a lovely collection of goodies to give away, including packs of stickers and postcards, single cards, A5 prints and A3 prints. Many of these are items that I won't be making any more, so get them while you can! Below is just a small sample of what is on offer.

How do I enter?

Just follow this blog, and post a comment below. The winners will be picked by random out of a hat in a couple of weeks time. Make sure that you have your current email address available on your blogger profile page because that is how I will be contacting the winners!

Will I win just one item?

In short, nope! Each winner will get a varied collection of lovely goodies to enjoy.

How many winners will there be?

As many as possible! There are no set number of winners, I will simply keep choosing people until there are no more prizes to give away. So, you have an excellent chance of winning something. All the more reason to enter!

So.... get posting! And have an awesome time in the sun!

Shark sketches. Something smells fishy...

Hidy hi folks! Dropping in today to share with you some sketches I did for my buddy Jessica Dahn, who is just graduating from her masters in Art and Media Practice. For her final project she decided to make a children's game about sharks and other sea creatures. Below are the three concept sketches of Charlie the shark used in her presentation.

Charlie is caught in a fishing net!

Charlie rescued and recovering

Charlie chilling out with her new buddies (yes in reality they would probably try to eat each other but the kids don't necessarily know that...)

I also dropped in on her final exhibition over at The Rag Factory in Brick Lane, which included some amazing underwater photography.

One last thing: as some of you may know, it was my birthday yesterday (woo!) and I had a fabulous day out in town eating sushi and getting cake from China town (see below). In celebration of my birthday, sunshine and all good things I will be organising a big giveaway on my blog next week... so keep your eyes peeled!

Illustration for If I Was You project

Hello all! Just dropping by to share with you some of my latest work, an illustration for the If I Was You project, organised by the lovely Sandra Dieckmann! My subject was awesome Russian illustrator Irina Popvova, and what I would do if I were her. The answer? Join a circus with my troupe of performing cats!

You can see the image in situ If I Was You Project.com, as well as a mini-interview with yours truly! Lots of lovely work by talented people there, so be sure to check it out.

In other news, I am currently hard at work on some items for the upcoming pika package, which is a travel themed one. It's in for next week so nose to grindstone time for me! I look forward to sharing the fruits of my labour with all of you in due course. Until next time!

Poster for East London Craft Guerilla

Hidy hi, lovely weather today, innit? (Well, actually no, it's miserable outside. But anyway!)

Hopefully the weather will be better on Saturday 26th, when the lovely people at East London Craft Guerrilla will be arranging another of their grand monthly craft fairs. And yours truly had the privilege of designing the poster! You can keep up to date with all the latest developments as well as their other projects over on their blog.

Hope y'all had an awesome bank holiday, until next time!

A peek in my sketchbook

So I have almost come to end of my well-travelled and much beloved sketchbook. It now has a mere 4 pages left, and as I noticed this I also realised how many drawings had been lurking in there without being shown to the world. So this post I decided to share with you some of my favourite sketches from the book, with more to follow later. As it's been so beautifully sunny this week, we begin with sketches of fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs.

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures, thanks once again for reading!
