Serious Iguana

E is for Emperor Tamarin

Looking Foxy

Lovely Fennec Fox

Also one for the zine!

 

Zines!

These are the first two pages of a new illustration zine I've just started working on, basically an A-Z of slightly strange / obscure animals.

I'm on J at the minute so almost halfway finished!

Photocopying Joy

Have spent a ridiculous amount of time by the photocopier today. I really like working on top of photocopies though, I'm going to try copying onto tracing paper and acetate next and layering images up over each other.

Glorious blown-up-to-A3 bear

Sketchbook and Other Odds

I've done loads and loads of sketchbook work over the last week or so, which has mainly included animals wearing jumpers.

Been feeling a bit rotten today but made time for pandas, owls and bears.

Also, made an excellent K Records tshirt tonight (I love them).

Tasteless Jumper Rabbit

Lovely Linocuts

All hail the Disillusioned Frog

Snow Fox

aka. Arctic Fox. Really quick sketchbook drawing - I think he looks slightly shifty.

Mink

Julia Pott

She is my favourite illustrator EVER. More here.

Nikki Marie Jackson

Just stumbled across her work again and I'm totally in love with it.  I remember I once sold some of my handmade jewellery at one of the craft fairs she used to organise in Salford (Cheap Affair / now Cheap Zine) but didn't really notice her work at the time, lame! More of her work here.

Pine Marten

Disillusioned Frog

Badgers Are Hard

Having a bit of a badger phase at the minute, might colour him in properly when I get home.

Finished!

Hello glorious Offbeat zoo (I wish such a thing existed (even though I don't really like zoos)).

All MIXED Up

Making a mixtape for the swap at Offbeat and wanted to do a nice cover, I like how it's turning out but I'm a bit stuck what to put on the bottom section!

Things I Have Been Doing Now & Then

I've been going a bit mad with my sewing machine over the past couple of days, been feeling super industrious and excellent.

Jesscat banner which is currently residing in my bedroom but which I plan on taking out to craft fairs and things in the future.

Partially stuffed owls (they have hidden hearts under one wing and hidden green shield badges under the other to prove their membership in a very top secret organisation which I am not at liberty to talk about).

I bought a few vintage picture frames from a charity shop, painted them and put some of my own drawings in, will probably do loads more of these.  

Ridiculous cushion covers

Ace!

I love these
