A new day

Monday 21 November 2011

Today I started my illustraton yet again and this time it is working! It was touch and go for a while but I am finally happy with the progress. In celebration of this small success I thought I would show this 'Proclamation' created by Mac Barnett, Brian Biggs, the lovely Sophie Blackall and the company of other forward thinking illustrators. I have this piece of paper pinned above my desk so that when the clouds come I remember the thing I am striving for.

Feet stamping

Wednesday 16 November 2011

Today I almost threw my brushes and stamped my foot with frustration because an illustration I am trying to complete is giving me the runaround. After muttering to myself crossly, I cleaned my paint palette and have put the image aside while I think of another way to approach it. Spending two days on an illustration that needs to be started again makes me frown. A new day tomorrow though and I have an idea that might work.

I am waiting to hear back on roughs, so in the meantime I have finished a painting for the 9x5 exhibition. Will show the picture soon. This week is for tieing up odds and ends before our holiday. I whipped up a tiger outfit for tapdancing which is tonight. We are preparing costumes for 'Animal Crackers in My Soup'!

Space

Thursday 15 September 2011

The studio is finally complete. Hooray! The last few months have been a bit of a whirlwind but all the hard work has been worth it. Plans Presses are now in place, painting walls all done, store room no longer leaks and we even have a chubby little coffee machine. The space is all ready for creating some illustrations!
