'bot 'n doll

 

 

A5, ink & pencil on paper.

huge canvas!

Just painted up a very large (bearing in mind I usually don't work any bigger than A4), 80cm by 60cm piece. Had a slightly damaged canvas that I just had a whim to see if I could successfully paint up. Wish I had taken some 'in progress' pics. Would welcome any comments.

A couple of pages from my pocket moleskine;




Nearly half term - yay!

peg 2

Have made another unique, naive piece of folk art - Peg 2. She 'wears' a slightly battered and faded heart (possibly too many unrequited loves & missed opportunities). Could you be the one to make her life complete and give her the tenderness she deserves - or perhaps you know someone who would! An ideal valentine keepsake for the one you love.

She is jointed using red embroidery thread and vintage, hand-made French nacre buttons.

Update - she's now listed in my Etsy shop should you care to peruse. Click on the shoplink.

peg 1

Have tried to take some better pics of the peg doll and have listed it in my shop. Surely someone out there would like a truly unique collectors piece!

collage version

Here's one I collaged earlier.

sketchbook

A sketch, in a new style I've recently been playing with, done in my pocket moleskine.

draw a reindeer

Have been putting together quick and easy drawing guides for the staff to share with children and thought I'd put one of them on here. This is for the 'artistically challenged'amongst us - though if you can write 7, 7, 4 you should have no problem. Hopefully the notes are self explanatory - have fun.

reindeer digi stamps

Still plugging away with the idea of digi stamps on etsy. Just put this listing into my shop - 4 images of reindeer to cut and paste, colour, re-size till your hearts content.

hand-drawn cards

Have just drawn (ink just about dry!) and listed some cards in my etsy shop.

book proposal

Have put a drawing book proposal into the ether - well, e-mailed it to a few agents anyway. I've developed a unique and very simple method for creating easily recognisable pictures and have got to the point where I am tentatively pushing it out there. Probably way above my humble station but you never know.

doodlz

Some more quick sketches - anyone for tennis?

'bot leapfrog

A quick doodle I did and then stuck into my notebook. A couple o' 'bots just having a good time.

peg doll kit

Have just finished creating a peg doll kit - one with movable limbs. I intend to list this in my Etsy shop soon.

I've 'posed' the pieces next to what it started out as. It's designed to be fixed together using string (or wool etc.) and painted or dressed according to personal taste.

Would love to know what folk think about it.

Jake in boxer shorts!

Just listed in my Etsy shop - an energetic and flexible Jake doing his early morning exercises!

Jakes reappear

Have decided to see how well the 'Jakes' go down again (see way, way back for their conception).


First up is a red footy kitted figure.

Easter

Last day before hols today - had time to do some sketches & doodles with the children. Utilised Easter eggs in the place of circular/spherical objects for a bit of whimsical humour.

robot, doll + ice-cream

One more sketch - another cute, whimsical pic of a girl 'bot cuddling her doll and just about to savour a delicious ice-cream.

more cards

A couple more cards - landscape orientation this time just for a change.

cards

A few hand-drawn cards that I've done. A6 size - shortly to be listed in my Etsy shop
