I'm loving my dillo

One little chap of a big illo I'm working on

Chinese New Year illustration

I just finished another collaboration with Tonwen Jones for Skola. It was brilliant working together again and I'm so pleased with the final outcome. Hopefully we will work together again soon.

p.s I know I never uploaded the final few days of New Year Resolutions, the work load just got too heavy, I will eventually upload them when it calms down a bit.

Music Crush - Iron & Wine

I don't think I need to justify why I have chosen this song this week, it has been on repeat this morning in the studio, awesome tune and I also have a mini crush on the singer Sam Beam, it's the beard I think.

New Years Resolution - No.25 Watch the love

We have so many birds in our garden, so many little love stories going on. No.25 is to be a spy on their date nights and watch their little bellies brew up little ones.

New Years Resolution - No.24 1920's stylee

Seriously behind with me resolutions, our studio is crazy busy this week.

Anyway enough of the excuses, no.24 is to be a bit more adventurous with me old hair and branch out from the boredom of straight hair and flapper it up every now and again.

Yes Please

I was going to try and find some other love to display than shoes, but I came across this site via all the mountains and oh my! The ones with the lavender are just perfect, they look super soft and I love the detailing. I'm not a big fan of hard soled shoes, there's something about the clinky clonk that makes me feel like a secretary, but these look just right. Now I am in a dilemma; get these or these ones from last week?

New Years Resolutions - No. 23 - Fancy hat and a Ratatat

With all this glamourous munching and sipping I need to smarten my mug up with a posh hat and all that. Budget probably won't stretch to a spanky Stephen Jones spectacular creation but I will try and make more of an effort to wear one. I love them in the summer but it seems I only have a seasonal love affair with hat wearing, I shall venture out!

Ratatat - go check them out, they are a NYC duo that my boyfriend's band played with the other day

Kaleidoscope of love

Just found this mooching through the world wide web, its from a guy called 'bubs' no less. A Birthday cake from his mum! Pretty epic I reckon, wait until you see his wedding cake! A whole lot of effort and a pretty rainbow outcome, jees I need to get my baking on!

New Years Resolutions - No. 22 - Fancy Cup & Saucer

To go with those rather lovely biscuits I'd like to try a bit of sophistication and take a dainty hand to a vintage cup and saucer instead of my old mugs.

New Years Resolutions - No. 21 - Dodgy Jammy anyone?

Make more time for biscuits! I tend to work quite late in my studio and I need to stock up on rations, chewing the end of my pens doesn't satisfy my nutritional needs!

Baa Baa

In the midst of gathering up all my animal friends that are trotting through the pages of my sketchbook. This fine fellow is having his fur finished off and is starting to get a little cheesed off with how long I am taking.

New Year Resolution to follow shortly.

Nordic Giants Through a Lens Darkly

My music genius lover is in a spectacular band called Nordic Giants with another lovely fellow Dai. They do huge instrumental tunes which are synched with incredible short films (they work with Shorts TV). This one is shot in a barn in Wales and edited by my fine fellow, it's one of many epic tunes they have, go check out the others here there all as ace!

Oh yes we will!

I came across this illustration the other day and I've had it as my screen saver, it's a great morning boost when I turn my laptop on, so I thought I would share it with you guys. Check out Julia Kostreva's website for more of her rad work!

New Year's Resolution No. 20

No 20. is to go to the dentist more. I went last week for the first time in 2 years, pretty shocking, luckily I have pretty good teeth but I would like to keep it that way.
