Late Halloween ;o)

Happy Halloween (belated)
It was great this year because Lily was old enough to be excited about it. We fed trick or treaters and I even dressed her up in a little second hand witchy dress and hat - next year I'll make the costume.

I am creating a book at the moment which is simply a counting book, but it has been driving me made as I just want a white background and whenever I scan the paper comes out weird. I am also doing at least two other books becoz I keep getting ideas, which means I never finish anything :o(
I am really thinking of doing a course I have always wanted to - it sounds stupid, but I'm a bit scared to :os what if it all goes wrong???

Anyway, thought I'd share a couple of pics. I did not enjoy drawing skeletons - it felt like science - they are in shoes becoz I didn't even want to attempt skeleton feet :os though I quite like skeletons in shoes, why not?

I hope you think they're ok. The toads are my favorites.

Witch, cats and monsters

Here are more witch pictures :o)

As you can see I'm having some trouble with the paper at the moment, which isn't stretching probably and gets all wrinkled it has meant doing a lot of work on the computer to make it look normal when I put the pages together.

More cats as promised

And a big pumpkin. The first picture I did of this the pupkin was about four times as big it looked crazy, but in the end I went for a smaller pumpkin as I liked his face better small.

Been drawing monsters too and got told off by my dad for making them (and the bat) look cute :o(

But I like monsters like this.

This little chap is my fav . His name is Remy



Witchy - new drawings

New idea :os
These are a few of the new pics. I have been working pretty fast on these - really hope it doesn't show, I'm always messy anyway...
I loved drawing the toads, got lucky with that as well, as me and Lily found a little toad the other day on a walk. He looked a bit like the one on the left.

Enjoying cake - this is how I look when eating cake.

Designing dresses I want to wear.

Going to be more drawings of cats - sneeze Jen!

And getting to grips with drawing bats :os
I'm having fun with it, it's going to be quite simple this one.
(o:3

CD cover

This is the finished CD cover for Dave.

Actually look pretty slick :o)

Elboo Witchy Poo

Little sketch of a witch :o)

Art Dump 2

These pictures were from one of  the first books I put together. I'm afraid looking back at them now I have come to realise that I'm probably crazy.

Again the story let me down - it just wasn't as much fun as the pictures.

I love drawing animals and I learnt to draw cats in English A'level class. I used to draw them over my friend Jen's work along with the word SNEEZE- she's allergic. I don't think she thought much of this, neither did our teacher. Happy Days.

This one above was inspired by my mum's cat Mop. He designs hats...  :os

Actually am quite an odd person :os

But again characters I love. I remember sending this off somewhere and knowing I wasn't happy with it. Its hard to know what to do when the story doesn't come together - should you move on or keep trying?

Art Dump 1

Perhaps not the most attractive way of putting it, but I'm really just dumping some art that I have had for a while. I wrote a little story for these characters sometime ago...

...it was awful.
It was far too rushed and I really just need to start again. I'm putting them out here because I really quite like these characters and wanted to share them.

I feel really guilty I didn't spend much time on them :o(

I will try and make it up to them :o)
