Been a while? Muchly!

I have been with finger in pie for much of the previuos coupla months, and due to PGCE yadda yadda yadda and lack of any real money, consdiered jacking in Illustraion more times than I'd care to reveal here.
Happily (i hope someone agrees) I haven't yet, and have been scribbling away happy for a few days trying to make a pelican look 'folk' as opposed to'metal'.
No, you neither?

Anyway here are some scribbles...
it's coming up, come up coming up...it's here?

i'm working on some off the wall fairytales at the mo, and they'll be up here soon as dammit, but heres a glimpse at next month's Scarlet, Jan's line drawing for anti stress visiting massages and a recipe for the best damn cheese cake i've ever eaten. If you have a sweet-toothed intended who won't usually give you a second look, this recipe will deliver payday. Way better than the massage.

I like owls, but I won't wear feathers...

This is what I mean by an Owl costume folks!

I'm going to publish a wish list that will bore the crap out of anyone who doesn't like their clothing girlie, owlie and cool.

Drawings that I'm happy with this week...Mazda and Joe

Who's better than his brother Joe? Dominic DiMaggio? or maybe Shazza Ozzbourne...

Wed Mag continues to surprise and delight by letting me draw lots of fun odd people!

PGCE has left little time for much in the way of picture work, but I have been trying to rectify this over the holiday break. Firstly, a big shout out to all the illustrators that took part in the 24 Hour Comics event that was an enormous success and I have never been so proud of such a talented group. You should see the other blog for more details!

I am drawing vintage celebrity couples at the moment, i really want to get my teeth into some book ideas that i've been kicked around way too long! also my textile project is sadly neglected.
no doubt modules 3 and 4 are going to rule my life in Jan, along with the small matters of applying for my own job (fun) and moving house :) wait, i need to find somewhere to live yet.

I have been very lazy this week without college and trainee teaching, I have to get some motivation juice and not lie -a -bed til 10.30am.
Mornings will no longer be Big Bang Theory and Ugly Betty, until i find the strength to operate the vodafone dongle. i will rise, find a pencil and draw my little heart out. hmmm...work nearly over...where is the wine? Ahhh, i remember why i haven't been making it up in the mornings...
