Illustration Friday: Sweater
























Here's my take on this weeks IF. I've been having trouble with the white background, which is frustrating me! The badgers head doesn't look right on the white background, he just blends in too much. I've tried dropping in various colour backgrounds, but nothing seems to be working. Grumble.
















































Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

A few cute photos...





















































Just couldn't resist posting these cuties! Our naughty Jack Russell and cat playing in the snow before Christmas last year! They get up to such mischief together, always causing trouble! I should probably write a children's book about them...!

Nursery Education Plus

I received a copy of Scholastic's magazine Nursery Education Plus in the post today with my illustrations inside! Exciting!! I only had a teeny tiny feature, but it's a start!












































I've also been busy framing up some of my illustrations for the Gradgallery exhibition in March! I spent a small fortune on prints and mounts today and had to get 2 bespoke frames made up for my awkwardly proportioned illustrations! I had the frames for less then an hour before breaking the glass in one of them! I'm so clumsy...clever me. Here's a couple of my framed images that I managed not to break!
