Pretty New Pets

Spoilt rotten again this year with beautiful beasts, here are just a few:

From left to right:
Ironic car sticker as my bottom lip always comes out when I see squished squizzles.  Secret Santa (AKA Frazzle) hand painted cushion complete with bones border.

Little champagne pickled mouse named Pickle.  My favourite book from my childhood.


Amazing pencils that I framed: "Design is dead, long live the pencil".  My brand new pet, we had to turn the lights down and the music though...

Beautiful set of drawers made from old wooden rulers.  My new pet whistling and dancing away in his carry box, must not be fed after might night!!


Many thanks to everyone for making it a wonderful one, and I promise not to kill any of these oets this time!!x

The Butterfly & The Wolf

I have been working on a logo for photographer's new website.  Luke Ward approached me with a very inspiring name of The Butterfly & The Wolf, instantly summing up beautiful imagery in my mind, I jumped at the chance to try and capture this.

Taken directly from it's name, the logo is a marriage of a spread winged butterfly and two howling wolf heads amongst a rainbow of ink blots.

Luke is selling his world photography on his site now so contact him if something takes your fancy.  He is working on some exciting stuff over the Crimbo period so be sure to check back in the new year for some fresh work.

Blyk Fashion

Still for the Fashion Blyk advert below.

 

Above are a few more photographs showing how my illustrations were used for Blyk products.
To view more of the Blyk project visit the new site of Parrot & Miller.

 

Blyk Entertainment

I was then commissioned to do some illustrations for two further adverts.  This time the brief was "entertainment".  As well as the illustrations (still below), my Blyk logo was added in at the beginning.

Blyk Mobile Phone Advert

Back when I was in my first year of Uni, three of my illustrations got bought by a mobile phone company called "Blyk".  They went on to commission me further including three short movies.  This was the first which was created using stop-frame animation.  I only just came across these files after many years and managed to get hold of a copy.  So here it is...

Skanky Skunks

I was given "Cannabliss?"as the article needing illustrations for the latest issue of IP1.  One of the more challenging pieces I have had to illustrate of late as there were no visuals that jumped out at me as I read it, nor did I want to draw any cliches such as cannabis leaves or spliffs.  I wanted my illustrations to remain impartial to opinions and to the sexes.  Finally I came up with a skunk character in a green hue, complete with positive and negative symbols floating around him.

This issue also has an interview with the rather marvellous illustrator Mister Millerchip, so be sure to pick up a copy!
Ip1 issue 40 is now out around Suffolk & to download from ip1zine.com.

Bad Panda

So I have never been one of those girls who loved boys in cars or fast cars or in fact cars full stop!  I was never impressed by them, car talk bored me, so putting it off for as long as I could....well, lets just say I became an expert with public transport!
However, no one had told me that you don't have to drive a car and that there are animals out there who you can ride instead!!
So it was whist browsing the local zoo for a pet, (most would think I would chose a squirrel or perhaps a cat of sorts) a baby panda was the creature that caught my eye.  

So here he is, I am the proud owner of a pet panda!  And on the rare occasion the sun shines, keep an eye out as Bad Panda will show his little face (in the form of a sunscreen)! :)
