A small GIVEAWAY!

I know it's been a while so I've decided to run a small giveaway for the next week only.

The winner will receive a signed digital print of Fluff and Billy (printed on Somerset paper and measuring approximately 210 x 220mm) and 3 handmade Christmas cards (hand stencilled and printed). I'll also throw in some Not Me! stickers as featured in my last giveaway. I know it's quite early for Christmas cards but as most of the shops have got them on display now I thought I could get away with it!

All you have to do to enter is be a follower of this blog and register your interest in the comments section below by 5pm next Saturday 25th September (BST). I'll pick the winner out of a hat/bowl/whatever is available and send the prizes to where ever in the world the winner is.

I'll try and do another giveaway very soon (maybe to celebrate Not Me! coming out in the US in October) so keep checking. Thanks!

Fluff and Billy still in progress!

Apologies for the delay in getting any posts up for a while - I've been busy trying to get Fluff and Billy up and running. It's still a work in progress but atleast it feels like there is progress!

They'll be off with the publishers to the Frankfurt bookfair at the beginning of October so I hope they enjoy the trip.....

The Penguin Production Line!

Just a quick phone picture of my desk as I left it this evening.....covered in penguins. I have 45 to paint in total....and seem to end up with lots of rejects. I am planning to cover a wall in partially painted penguins when I am finished!

Folk Festival Drawings

I spent the weekend at the Cambridge Folk Festival and managed to do a few drawings in my much neglected sketch book - mostly of people lounging around listening to the music......as that's what I was doing too!

Penguins in progress!

I've been trying to sort out final colours for my penguins.....to help make the final decision I taped some different versions up on the studio wall. I think I'm happy with my decision but I may change my mind when I see them again tomorrow!

Illustration Friday: Breakfast

I thougt I'd try doing something in Illustrator again this week.....my skills are a bit rusty and I keep trying to do Photoshop shortcuts but if I keep practicing maybe I'll get there!

Apologies for the break in blog posts - I moved house a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to sort all my stuff out.....I'm very disorganised but I think I'm almost there now.
