Advent 2015: Day 23

It's so nearly Christmas, which is

really rather exciting. I've decided

to go a little bit flamboyant today,

because Christmas should be nothing

if not at least a little bit camp!

Advent 2015: Day 22

Hello and Merry 22nd!

Today we have a squid and

and octopus battling it out

for the cracker toy!! 

The sea creature ones are

always my favourite!

Advent 2015: Day 21

Today is a snow fox day!

Advent 2015: Day 20

Christmas is so nearly here now

it's all terribly exciting. And 

though this drawing is modelled

on my lovely kitty friend, Benny - 

our tree is in fact still standing.

Advent 2015: Day 19

Today's is a day late as unfortunately

I've not been very well the past few

days. So today's will follow shortly.

Advent 2015: Day 18

Just getting this one in under the wire.

Thee Wise Hens (they may also be French.)

Advent 2015: Day 17

Today's post: Tree wrecks!

Yep, the Christmas puns are

a-go-go!

Advent 2015: Day 16

We shall have a piggy pudding!

Excellent pun courtesy of my

very good friend, who incidentally 

makes lovely felt things, you can

buy them here, check out her 

marvellous shop for some last

minute Christmas pressies!

Advent 2015: Day 15

Hello lovely people. I'm afraid this

post is a day late. I wasn't feeling

too fantastic yesterday and I completely

forgot to post. However here it is, hope

you enjoy! Today's to follow later.

Advent 2015: Day 14

Hello hello! It's day 14

and today I have for you

a very amorous reindeer.

Kissy kissy!

Advent 2015: Day 13

Everyone got all their shopping

sorted!? Christmas bear has!

Well done Christmas bear. 

Just a reminder that now is

probably your last chance to

get Christmas cards in time to

give them out. Get em here. :)

Advent 2015: Day 12

Hello humans!

Another Mexicanesque one today!

Twinkly cacti!

Well when there isn't a pine tree

for hundreds of miles around

what are you supposed to decorate!?

Advent 2015: Day 10

I love dogs. 

I admire their enthusiasm, and every

dog I've had has loved Christmas.

So I thought it made sense to put one

in this years calendar. 

Advent 2015: Day 9

Today's advent illustration

features Christmas Bunnies.

Nuff said!

Advent 2015: Day 8

Another day another advent illustration.

BA(dger) HUMBUG!

Advent 2015: Day 7

Hello again lovely humans!

Today's drawing has a little

bit of a Mexican flavour, 

greatly inspired by the many

wondrous products where I 

work in the lovely Caoba

Advent 2015: Day 6

Hurrah tis Day 6 of the A Little Bit Askew

advent calendar! This is perhaps not the

most flattering portrait of the Queen,

hope I don't get sent to the Tower.

Just a reminder that I'm collecting for the

ME Association - if you are enjoying the

advent this year I'd be super appreciative

of any pennies you could throw this way.

thus far. Just a reminder that I'm

collecting for the ME Association

Advent 2015: Day 4

Day four of the advent calendar;

its a case of eyes bigger than 

living room I believe. 

Advent 2015: Day 3

Day three of the advent features

penguins doing the limbo! Well

they've got to do something to 

keep from getting cold I suppose!

Advent 2015: Day 2

Eight Legged Piñatas!

Hello all!

This week I hosted a Halloween

Spider Piñata workshop at Caoba,

Edinburgh (the lovely little shop I

have the pleasure of working in.) 

It went really well, everyone had a

great time, even the arachnophobes.

Here are some pictures along with

the finished article; Claude. 

Hello Claude!

Instructions on how to make

a Claude can be found here.

Thou Shalt Have A Fishy

Hello humans!

I have just and so completed a new

koi carp painting. I hope you like it.

I have some very new, exciting 

endeavours coming to fruition shortly.

So watch this space and I'll keep you posted.

A Little Bit of Whimsy

Have been playing around with some

whimsical notions. Its mostly nonsense

but its brightly coloured nonsense 

featuring endearing animals.

Enjoy!

Hello again!

Hello humans! It's been quite a while

since I posted anything, terribly sorry

about that! Things in my life have been

a little up in the air of late. I recently

moved back to the lovely city of

Edinburgh and have been looking for

work and creative opportunities. Here

are just a few of the things I have made/

painted/ drawn/ doodled since I last

posted on here. Hope you like them!

These are some more recent paintings.

The fish theme appears to continue 

unabated. I am hoping to get some oil

pieces done in the near future.

…and these are a few illustrations, including

my valentines card design for this year.

Hope you've enjoyed this wee inside into

my current, quite chaotic and very forgetful

psyche. I'm going to try and post things more

regularly from now on, so watch this space.

Christmas Advent 2014

Hello there! Though a little late, 

the festive season being well and

truly over - here is my collection

of advent illustrations from

Christmas last year. I also made

these into an actual flip page advent

calendar which took SO LONG to 

print and was a bit of a nightmare.

But it was all worth it in the end 

because they looked lovely and

were very popular.
