Get in the zone with me and my little friend. Another character for my online shop, Tees & stuff. This little guy is as laid back as it gets. Perhaps one day you will see him sitting under Little Bird's tree?
Actually he is a refection of where I plan to be this weekend, in my head at least. Two lovely days ahead started with getting up at 5am this morning, watching the sun come up and having a chilled out meditation. Lunch later today with David and a chat about some exciting work prospects we have going on, followed by Neil Gaiman at the Singapore Writer's Festival.
As for tomorrow... that's a whole other story stay tuned.
My latest range of characters on T-shirts and on sale in my online shop, have the biggest heads ever!
Just for the girls, I have been creating a range of colourful, chic kids with matching hair and outfits. All in the illustrative style of Little Bird and they JUST might pop up in one or two of LB's future stories.
As for my latest writing efforts…'Granny McGill's Garden' came to me in Starbucks this week. Have only shared it with a couple of friends and had a lovely response so far. Thank you all for listening last night in the car. :-)
Today…ummm…bit of yoga followed by a bit of a shoe thing this evening at Tanglin Mall. Speaking of which, Shoes are next on my list of illustration ideas for my shop. Every girl loves shoes, right? Keep coming back and you Will eventually see a pair of shoes on here.
...or so it would seem! I have been seduced by a delightful colour palate of pinks, purples and reds in the last 24 hours. The result of course is...Fairies!! It doesn't get more girlie than that.
What am I talking about? My online shop. I mentioned that I was working on some new stuff, well as serendipity would have it, someone else just called me to discuss Fairies too. But that's for another blog. :-)
Thought I'd share a couple of my new illustrations today. "A Pink Giraffe!" I hear you exclaim in horrified tones! Well, why not? It probably lives in a raspberry jungle and drinks from a caramel river. Hmmm interesting story idea...
For now, it's back to the sketch pad and on with more pink art.
My blogging has been nothing short of absent for some time now...but I'm back and reaching for new heights :-)
Just started a series of illustrations for my online shop. The theme is Jungle Animals, prompted by my friend Mayang who suggested the first creation be a Giraffe. You can check it out at http://www.cafepress.com.au/GekkoState.412766085# but first, here's a little preview of the leggy Giraffa camelopardalis munching on some leaves from Little Bird's tree.Since the GP I have come up with a new picture book story (David will be delighted to hear I have finally sorted that one out as discussed!), I have also compiled a lot of sketches and concepts for my trilogy that I have been working on forever. That's all very exciting and is growing daily.
Signing off now, I have one more Giraffe to colour then back to the Jungle for me.
