Advent 2015: Day 1

Brace yourselves: CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Hurrah! December 1st is here, and with it comes

the A Little Bit Askew Advent Calendar!

As ever I hope you enjoy, you can catch it

here, or at my Facebook page..

This year I am collecting for the

ME Association and have a Just Giving

page here if you fancy making a wee donation. 

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. 

Pastel Portrait

I've been trying out some oil pastel portraits,

most of them are never going to see the light

of day... it's just better that way. But I quite

like this one, so thought I'd share it.
