I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to post and I apologize and hope to get back to posting regularly.

Remember when I made reference to an illustration of a CD cover I was working on? I've finished it and I'm now happy with the results. I've left header room for the title.

I headed to Parables for book browsing and grabbed one off the shelf to sketch. I haven't read it, but liked the cover so it became part of my prop along with my new handbag and leather pencil case which I carry with me at all times. I love to capture moments whenever I have the opportunity.

My first son was born on Valentines Day and so this day is one of a kind and very special for me. He has his own home now so I called him to wish him a happy birthday much earlier than I normally would. I knew he was not awake and had every intention of leaving him a voicemail. I was quite silly in my message and I told him that prior to his birth he had kept me up all night and what time he was born, very early in the morning, so I thought I would call and wake him up to tell him how much I love him and I wasn't about to wait a minute longer. He said he really enjoyed my message and said he didn't know what time he was born at that time in the morning. In his baby album we even have a photo of the clock at that exact time. Funny, I guess I never told him. I think I will get the kids baby books out and share some other facts with them that they don't know surrounded the time of their births.

This was a good topic for me. I'm always in a dilemma when shoe shopping and can never make up my mind which pair(s) to purchase. I definitely have a shoe addiction. So what shoes do I choose? ALL OF THEM of course!

Here's a recent illustration for Lord of the Flies. Slightly different technique used here, incorporating some methods I used to use at college (dark tree like texture applied to whole image, then erased in a scribbly fashion with v small eraser brush).

I've never used scraper-board before but was inspired to do so after browsing Jim Bradshaw's (fellow SFG-er and excellent illustrator) new site and blog. He mentioned using Painter's scraper-board tool and I realised I never had, here's what I came up with:

Here's what I've been working on recently...
Illustrations for an educational anthology by Harcourt, these are for a Kiowa folk tale about how the sun came to be in the sky. I'm really pleased with how they turned out, and I finished them a week ahead of schedule.

I've just redone my site and it it now possibly one of the smallest, most compact illio and design folio sites on the net.
I utilised freeware in abundance such as niftycorners, niftycube and lightbox - I may even get round to changing the original colours on it

This is the last of them, although it's only a small selection of the 180 illustrations I produced over 9 months for this 352 pg book.
