Bee nice or go away


Sometimes people can be extremely rude. Politeness costs nothing...

Vector Fun

I have been doing a bit of tinkering around using Adobe Illustrator recently. Here are a couple of my recent efforts:

Toad sheltering from the storm


Spotted this chap in the garage trying to keep out of the torrential rain. In my ignorance I thought that Toad's liked the water... as you can see he looks quite annoyed about whole experience.

Weekend Illustrations

It's been a nice weekend so I set up my drawing board in the garden and spent a good few hours doing these.
It's not what it looks like Mum!

Birthday Cards

My Dad and Uncle both have birthdays in early June so, as usual, I drew them a card each. I won't attempt to explain them in any detail because they are quite personal.

Bee bothering

I have had the day off today and it has given me the chance to take things a bit more slowly. The fairly rigid week day routine means that I don't always stop to notice small things. So I made a concerted effort to spend some time looking around the garden.

Rocket Boy

It's a raining outside. The typical British Summer is back again.

I drew this to cheer myself up with a bit of eye candy - I'm quite pleased with the use of colour on this one and I think the background does give a very real impression of movement.

I haven't been idle...

I realise I haven't updated the blog in over a month. So here are a few doodles I have been working on.

Rainbow Path

IF: Talisman

All his life Bill's lucky rabbit's foot had been a Talisman that protected him. But today things were a bit different... IF: Talisman

Illustration Friday: Poise

This week I actually have two entries for illustration Friday.  This time I decided to do a bit of research on google image search - there were two 'iconic' images that came up on the subject of poise.
