New Year

January 10th, 2012

Welcome back to a new year! Any one else feel like that break went REALLY fast? Perhaps it was all the rainy days spent inside.

Any way its good to be back in the studio – As previously mentioned I have some illustrations in the current issue of Good Magazine. If you havent heard of Good definitely get a copy, it is full of all sorts of ‘goodness’!

The article I illustrated was about ‘Cultivating the Art of Slow’ – which is something I definitely need to do more of. The second part of the article examined personality types and suggested ways you could choose a more balanced ‘slower’ lifestyle.

It was a real interesting read and great fun drawing different characters for each type. What number are you?

You can pick up your copy here or at your local supermarket/bookstore.

Sneak Peak

November 24th, 2011

A sneak peak at what i have been working on lately….

But in other news… we are in the process of having a wee shake up here on the website. New pictures being added here there and everywhere!!

And when I say ‘we’.. I mean myself and my husband Jayden. Not sure if I have mentioned this on the blog yet but earlier this year The Picture Garden became home to us both! Its so great to not have to work on my own any more but Im still adjusting to sharing a studio… Fortunately we work well together :)

Birthday Card Design for The Script House 2011

So I have been away from the blog for a while.. in fact over a month to be exact. I have been on so many adventures over that time I don’t really know where to start. But most of the time I have been fortunate enough to have traveled around some very amazing countries, holidaying and working here and there – Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Croatia, Italy, Prague and Germany to be exact. And planning the building of a 70 square meter cottage for my husband and I to live in for a while. So my apologies for the long radio silence.

I have just finished work on two Album covers which i will post soon. More illustrations are coming for Holly Brown cafe – new store opening soon in the Elements Mall in Kowloon, Hong Kong. And I have finally had a chance to work on my own personal projects I have had shelved for a while. Very soon this website will have a wee overhaul before Christmas and Ill be having a spring clean clearance in my shop to make room for Christmas goodies. Stay tuned for that….

Earlier this year i was commissioned to create a series of Birthday Cards for an online card company ‘The Script House Ltd’. It was a great project to work on and Ill be posting more of them here soon. For now Ill leave you with the above image…
