It's been a while.

It has been a while since I posted on here....

I do apologise, it's been ever so busy over here recently. I had a wonderful day on Saturday at a Christmas Market here: www.Cafe164.com/news/

If you haven't already been here, I thoroughly recommend it. It's a great gallery with a lovely cafe attached to it.

I met some very nice people....thanks for stopping by my stall to chat!

I was lucky enough to be sitting next to 'that old chestnut'. They are vegan cake makers, who make the most delicious cakes I have ever eaten. If you ever see them anywhere, do sample some of their ginger cake, it's the best!

I hope you're all excited about Christmas.

A few....

Well, what a busy November it has been so far! 

I bought this green chair today! Do you like it? There's a sofa on it's way too. I'm not looking forward to carting it up the stairs. I'm sure it will be worth it though. 

I am busy making lots of fabric brooches for the Designers Makers Handmade Christmas Shop. You can see the flyer above. There will be lots of treats for sale here, and it's on for four weeks! I thoroughly recommend popping down if you are in the area. 

I am also taking part in a Christmas market in Leeds, on Saturday the 10th of December. It's at a lovely gallery. Take a peek at their website..... I hope to see you there!

Also.....I got this pub-like table for my birthday and I love it! 

A view from our flat.

I think we are pretty lucky to look out onto trees like this. I do have to stand on my tiptoes or a small box to see out of all our windows, but it is definitely worth the effort! 

I like Autumn. The smells, the colours, the sunshine. 

I am drawing some Autumn inspired illustrations for an exhibition at Leeds Gallery this evening. It's rather fun. I hope you are enjoying yourselves. 

Girls Girls Girls

It's another sunny day. I very much like crisp Autumn days.

I told you before that I have been trying to add a feminine touch to my work. Here are some new drawings of girls. Hurrah! 

A sunny day...

A sunny day for printing!

Here is a sneak peak of a few of my prints which will be included in the Pop Up Print Shop at SMUG. Camden Passage, London.

I am at the printers now looking out of the window and it's a beautiful sunny day. The trees look happy. Do pop down to SMUG if you can...

I hope you are having a nice day too.  

Animal friends.

I am a collector of those small 'Obervers Books.' 

I often hunt for them in my local charity shops. 

Sometimes, I like to just sit and read them and draw from them. I am just about to read 'Notes From Walnut Tree Farm' by Roger Deakin and I am most excited about it. He seemed like a nice man. 

Girls.

Whilst I was studying my my degree. A very clever man once asked me why all the people I drew were balding, middle aged men with too many chins. Since then, I have been practicing how to draw girls. It's quite a tricky subject matter for me and I'm not sure why. 

Here are some recent drawings from my wee sketchbook.
