What else?! I think he's rather cute, don't you?! Rebecca … [Read more...]

So catching up with the Illustrated Advent 2015 - Day 8 and the prompt is Snowflakes.  I loved doing this one.  I hand drew all the snowflakes first and then scanned them in to use in the artwork.   I hope you like my pretty snowflakes.  I could really imagine this as a lovely repeat pattern perhaps on Gift Wrap or Gift … [Read more...]

It's going to be a double posting today as I'm a little behind with the Illustrated Advent 2015 - Day 7 but I hope you won't be disappointed!  Day 7's prompt was Snowman so I decided to go with a rather dapper looking chap all dressed up and ready to hit the town for his Christmas night out!  I'm also out tonight for my yearly 'self-employed … [Read more...]

The prompt for the Illustrated Advent 2015 - Day 6 is 'Fireplace'.  I struggled with this for a little while and then I took inspiration from my scruffy lurcher Bertie, who is currently flaked out after a busy morning on our monthly Pointy Dog Walk.  Once a month, all the local greyhounds, lurchers, whippets, or basically any type of … [Read more...]
