Fank Yoo!

Haha, I'm forever making cards!

This time, 'Fank Yoos' for family and friends who presented me with birthday gifts and cards last week - I still enjoy the old fashioned ritual of sending out thank you cards :D

Lazy-Eyed Hoot

Another owl!!
This time round, crocheted with very soft fluffy wool and sporting a slight lazy eye (the eye thing wasn't purposely done but I decided not to fix it because it looked kinda funny).

Achievement Aliens

This quick colour sketch was a pitch for a job illustrating school award merchandise. Unfortunately I didn't get the job (well, I never got a reply from the guy so I'm guessing he just decided to rudely ignore all who weren't successful). Anyhoo, thought I'd post this little thing for you to see :)

Snow Slimes

Q. When a big blanket of snow comes knocking at your door, what do you do?
A. PLAY

...and that's exactly what Rob and I did yesterday evening. After much snowball rolling, occasional snowball throwing and snow sculpting (with scavenged christmas tree stand parts), we managed to create this:

Snow Slimes

These 'Snow Slimes,' as I have now named them, are actually characters from the "Dragon Quest Heroes" games. They're cute little poo shaped things that like to bounce around :) and here is me looking happy and proud with the poo shaped things.

PS. Apologies for the appaling photos. We were planning to take some better ones this morning but woke up to find it had fallen over during the night *sob*

2 Birds and the Gingernaut

Recently I've not been posting here as much as I'd like to because I've got quite a few projects going on at the moment. Visual candy relating to those projects will be coming soon though. I do, however, have two things to show you today:

2 little crocheted thank you cards
2 Birds

AND this.
The Gingernaut
This the secret of the gingerbread men Rob & I have been munching: they are actually edible clones of the Juggernaut. Thanks to a secret camera, we were able to capture a gingerbread man in the day(left) and the same man at night(right).

Just a smiley innocent sweet treat? I think not.

Squid Kid

It's been quite a while since I last had a play around in 3D so I decided to make my little 2009 "squid kid" come alive. Had lots of fun with this and it's got me into modelling again so there may be more to come very soon!

Squid Kid

On another note, I've had many comments from people here and at DeviantArt suggesting what my weird fruit thing could actually be. For general interest and merriment, here is a list of all the suggestions:
  • Daikon
  • Ill-shaped pear
  • Naked pineapple
  • Lovechild of a turnip and strawberry
  • Marshmellow fruit
  • Big tic-tac fruit
  • Undeveloped grape
  • Giant japanese winter berry
  • Candyfloss
As a conclusion, I think that I will settle on it being a giant tic-tac fruit because that seems to be what it looks like the most, but I love hearing all the fun ideas so thank you for exercising your minds!

Hello 2009

Happy 2009 everyone!!

My resolution this year will be to do at least one thing creative everyday, no matter what it might be; whether it's creating new illustrations or painting an egg. Well, I've stuck to it so far (yeah okay, it's only the first day of January) and so I present to you my first post of 2009!

Christmas Cheer

2008 is almost over and it's gone by extremely quickly indeed! It's been a busy year for me but an awesome one too: there have been huge steps to take in life which has been a great challenge and as an artist I feel I've learned so much.
I'd just like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas :)
