Cherry and Juno

My daughter Georgia has so many sweet little habits. She loves reading books with her feet at a 90 degree angle so it does not slip. She licks her fingers and turns the pages whilst reading it out loud... her favourites are the Choupi French book series. She has a pile of 15 which she reads about 4 times a day.
Anyway that is how Cherry was born - she also has Georgia's hair.. wild and curly.

Juno is Matilda when she was 3 and had a bob. She is very curious, very emotional and expressive...

Book near completion

It has been a busy time. I am trying to get my posters all finished and ready for print. I'm buying frames (most of which got broken en-route first time around). I have also finished book 3 - which feels like my best yet. Now I need to find an agent. 

Harold final illustration

Here is one of the final illustrations for my book 'Harold'. I do love Harold an awful lot...

Scene setting

Here is an illustration for a scene in my book. I love doors - I could draw them forever! I also had fun choosing the wallpaper. You know I think I create a virtual home for myself in my drawings.. That could be an idea for another project!

Peek a BOO!

Naughty bear...

Having a Whale of a time

Here is a sketch for a character I am having lots of fun with. A W.O.P. - work in progress...

Experimenting with colours

I really feel colour has to be experimented with and explored. It is too easy to take paint and immediately use it. When I learned to paint at aged 16 (outside school), my tutor told me you can get every colour you want from blue, red and yellow. I was never allowed to use black!

Bear Sketch/Scratch?!

This is a notebook sketch I did recently. I was trying to get the proportions right which looked easier than I thought!

NEW STORY STARTS TODAY!

I will be away for two weeks in France - while I am there I will be writing the story about two rather naughty little mermaids.... Sneak peek here!
