Half Dead

spring

this blog is starting to feel a bit like a new sketchbook - the first few posts (pages) are a little intimidating. i decided to make something that not only takes up a little space, but can go beyond this post. inspired by springtime & spotting rabbits from the various train journeys i took at the weekend, here's a tiled background you can use. choose small, medium or large depending on your preferred rabbit-size.

have decided to take part in fun a day dundee this year - i'm going to draw a girl throwing shapes every day in january. here are the first three.

prints on sale

just a note to say that my new prints were delivered early & are now on sale: botanic I, botanic II, the botanic package & the bison.

in wild waters

my boyfriend recently opened an online shop to sell his prints. all bias aside, i recommend you take a look at his work (including the above print, in wild waters). he's had a few sales already, but he's still offering a free mini-print with the next seven orders. go!

talkin' dirty

getting a job for a magazine is generally a good thing, but it's even better when it's one you actually subscribe to. a little while back i was asked by bust to illustrate a piece on female-hosted sex-positive readings & today i got the issue through my letterbox. haven't had time to read through yet, but am happy to share space with tuesday bassen & yelena bryksenkova, two super excellent illustrator ladies.

shop - reopened!

after a small (but much longer than planned) hiatus, i've reopened my shop. i originally closed it as i had a busy couple of months coming up, & had hoped to reopen with lots of new work to sell. life hasn't stopped being busy though, so i've had to make do with just one new print, but  i'm going to be giving away one of my pushpin bookmarks with the next few orders. 

i've missed my little shop. i had a dream about it the other night, which was a little kick up the rear to get it in shape again. that said, i may have a small shop hiatus at some point in the near future, but more about that another time.

remember that lil project i mentioned? well, here it is;, a project in which i illustrate my instagram feed, then post the drawings on instagram.

a week off of sorts. we're journeying to the end of a peninsula on the very west coast tomorrow, to celebrate my favourite person's birthday with campfires, marshmallows, walks & trees. as much as i like normality, i'm excited to get away from it for a bit.

sketching

something new

started a new blog. i recently decided to exercise my portrait skills (mainly as any ladies i draw somehow end up looking like me) & as a result, girl faces was born.
