1. Doodle Day: Gift Boxes and Things

Did a bit of doodling. Not quite sure what this is meant to be but I like it and may carry on and explore further to see what it decides to turn into ...

Here are doodled gift boxes. Why gift boxes? No idea. They just tumbled out, all wobbly and imperfectly cute, onto the blank page. I'll have to consider turning them into a pattern or something ...

All proof that I do occasionally take a break just to have a bit of fun. Back to work now. Have a fantastic day. Cheers.

2. Merry X'mas, Happy New Year 2010 & Gift Boxes in progress ...

51giftboxes

There truly is not enough time in the day to do everything I want or need to do! I look up -- and days have passed ... and there's always more that I would like to do but simply can't fit in yet. Yet.

I've been completing text design requests and have to finish most of them before Christmas, which has kept me occupied for a while now (with a trip to London as a break in between of course LOL), but I managed to finally drag out a wonderful extra-large moleskine that I'd purchased some months ago. Started playing within it's pages and found myself doodling gift boxes ...

I love gift boxes and wrapping papers and it being the season for it, am not too surprised that it's what came to mind. Still, I'm only part-way through colouring them in but thought I'd put them up here a proof (to myself really!) that I AM doing some much-needed drawing in between sketching out text designs. Simple stuff but just as therapeutic and as much a pleasure to do.

I've also completed a couple of typographical designs for the festive season and here they are:
