not long now...

I'm about 2 weeks away from my due date now! I feel BIG and have developed quite a waddle, but am loving being pregnant :D

Art in Brixton

I'm crossing the river this Sunday, to take part in Art in Brixton, where I will be showing and selling a few limited edition prints, along with some other talented arty friends (The friends aren't for sale, but their work will be!) 
It will take place at Windrush Square, just outside the Ritzy cinema in the heart of Brixton, between 11am-4pm. Please pop along if you're in the area :)


Some good news - "Into the Woods" will carry on through June and possibly July too, so there's still a chance you can get hold of some lovely treats! 

Bye bye bun

Here's my first bit of illustration from my temporary new studio set up. So nice to make pictures again after a little break, although I have to be careful not to make a mess here, which is no fun!


I went for a hair cut the other day - a once a year event, and came back bun-less! I miss it a little bit, but it feels so nice to shed that big messy mop :)

Into The Woods shop!

We have now moved into our new home, hooray!
It was a full-on super chaotic busy sleep deprived weekend. It took me all week to pack up my studio, which left me with 1 day to pack up the rest of the flat!
In between packing and cleaning the flat, I went to Brighton for the day and popped into the artist open shop "Into the Woods". I thought the shop window looked great, and inside it was crammed full of a whole variety of lovely treats. Lots and lots of fun :)
It's on until the end of the month so please pop by if you have the chance!

7 day madness

I don't know how but I did it...7 spreads in 7 days!! I think that has to be a record for me. I went a bit bananas half way through. It's no fun being cooped up, trapped in a messy dirty studio. 
Now I can finally start packing up the flat, getting ready for the move. But first, I will enjoy my freedom by stepping out the flat for a bit, and have a little wander through town :)

If you go down to the woods this weekend...

...you'll meet these felt toys! I've been making extra toys for "Into the Woods" which will be in the shop this weekend. Please pop in if you're in Brighton for the weekend :)

I imagine

I received copies of my 3rd picture book for Lion Hudson the other day, titled "I imagine", by Rachel Rivett. It's a child's book of prayers. These are interesting commissions for me as I'm not at all religious, so I try to place my focus more on the narrative and feeling of the words than the religious context.
Overall I'm pleased with how the colours and textures came out :)
The book comes out on 15th May 2011 and you can find it here.
