Laminated joy

Using my trusty sharpie (fine nib) I drew these images, then laminated them and voila! ...art innit xx

For the love of diamonds and triangles

Well, helloooo 2012

A new year, like a fresh, shiny, new page! If years were newly acquired sequinned stationary that is (now, there's an idea for the world of paper - sequins!). Some people don't make resolutions, and some people like me, make so many that I have trouble remembering them all. Am resisting the urge to make a resolution to remember my resolutions. Afterall, what are lists for? Anyways, Happy New Year!

Round - Illustratration Friday Word of the Week

The word this week is Round.  When I was little my brother had a "Round tuit", which was basically a piece of round wood that hung on the door and had text on it along the lines of "I am a round tuit.  You always said that you would do [insert large list of chores] when you got a round tuit now you have a round tuit you can."  How I coveted that "round tuit" and how I admired its word play, marvelling at the cleverness of it - round tuit = around to it!  (NB that exclamation mark belonged to my seven year old self). I wonder if the round tuit will ever make a comeback, surely some geezer is churning them out for some market somewhere. Or maybe someone could make a round tuit app. Think of the market - all family, friends and partners of the procrastinator who has everything (well nearly everything).

Water ladies

Bit of a nautical theme today, must be because the sun is shining. And, maybe a smidgey bit because I love the sea, whatever the weather.

PS Swim girl's eyes are a little too far apart, perhaps that should read 'swim alien'? Actually, I can kinda picture her green, or blue. A bit like the sea.
