Zine ~ The Chapess

A few months ago I was asked if I wanted to contribute an illustration to the next issue of The Chapess and I obviously said yes. The theme was inspirational women and it's turned out great. I got my copy last week and it's so good, such a great mix of contributors and subjects. It's available in Zara Gardners Etsy here, I recommend it.

Comic ~ Clever Crow

A little comic inspired by facts seen on Life of Birds.

Crows are so clever.

Illustration ~ Blue Budgie

A while ago I was asked to make a couple of shrink plastic pendants and the line drawing I did for the budgie has been sat on my desk for ages and I finally added a bit of colour to it. Although, the scanner hasn't been very kind to it. An ongoing battle.

Sketchbook ~ Will, Hot Chocolate and Walrus

Will doesn't forgive people for starring in romantic comedies with bad animal comedy.
We got to go out for free drinks at Cafe Nero (yay Priority Moments). There's just something about drawing in coffee places.
I saw the very end of a walrus programme on bbc 2 (I think) the other day and fell in love. I need to find it on the iplayer.
