Spring
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.

we went walking around some forests looking for birds & waterfalls today. clambered around pathways, listened to rushing rivers, saw nesting peregrine falcons. it finally feels like spring. this image is from 2009, but it rings true once a year.
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.
pocket-sized palm reading. i made an edition of little lino prints for the wonder that is crawl inclusive (the second coming), taking place in dundee this friday. they'll be distributed by the lovely ones of pitch & strike because they are nice like that. so, y'know, if you want one, maybe show up? that said, you might not be able to come, so there's another way you can bag yourself a tiny fortune. i'm going to include one with the next five orders* (over £6.50/$10 inc. shipping) from my shop. yes? yes. *EDIT: all gone! thanks guys.
• for 1,000 shop sales • for your patience with how long it takes to restock my ceramics shop • for checking out my new little project (maybe)
spent the afternoon binding some new mini-notebooks & listening to podcasts. a pile of these things is a pretty satisfying thing to hold.
summer sale!
havin' a little summer sale over in my shop until friday. hoping that the coupon code name might coax the sun out from wherever it's hiding. enter HELLOSUMMER at checkout & get 15% off, hurrah.
as mentioned a few posts ago, i took part in this year's fun a day dundee, where participants are encouraged to do something creative every day for the month of january, culminating in an exhibition full of everyone's work. i opted for drawing a dancing lady as my daily task, throwing a variety of shapes to a song you can't hear (i like to think it might be this). i've included a selection of my favourites above, but you can see the whole thing here.
cape girl + postage update
added a new print to the shop: cape girl is one of my favourite things i've drawn this year, & now she's a three colour screen-print.
speaking of the shop, here's my christmas posting dates. all orders must be in by these dates to allow time for me to package & post them: uk: thu 15 december western europe: sun 11 december eastern europe/usa/canada: wed 7 december elsewhere: thu 1 december (today!)
any orders after these dates will not be guarantee that they'll reach you by 25 december. if you order before these dates (if the postal service is willing to cooperate), you're likely to receive them in time.
one more postage note - all orders made between fri 2 & wed 7 december will be posted out on thu 8 december.
