Googly Eyed Cactus

For one of the presents I received for my birthday last week was this cactus plant (now with extra Googles!!) from my brilliant little nephew Ashley. It will be taking pride of place on my desk at uni once I return back next week!! :-D

Illustration Friday- Clique

Very busy this week, but just about managed to get this weeks word 'Clique' finished........that pesky Wolf had better watch its back with this Clique around!!!

Start back at uni for my final year on tuesday, so will be busier than usual really soon. Will attempt to keep the weekly word going- actually quite enjoying it. Wish me luck though!! :-S

Illustration Friday- Island

This weeks word is Island, and I had six sketches done for a series of 'things to do when you are stuck on a desert Island'. I created two of these this afternoon, then realized how busy the next week is, so have left it at that.

Was looking through one of my J. Otto Seibold books earlier and this inspired me to try using the gradient tool in Illustrator (as i've never tried it before). Was a bit fiddly to start with but think it has turned out ok, will think about using it again! Enjoy, and have a great week :-D

#1. Do some "light reading"


#2. Enjoy some music

Illustration Friday- Clutter

For this weeks Illustration Friday word - Clutter - I decide to do an image of the cactus part of my mind, where there is all sorts of Cluttered mess piling up and driving me mad!! Left it quite late again this week, but will attempt to be more swift from now on. Have a good weekend!

Illustration Friday- Memories

This weeks Illustration Friday word was Memories, and as I don't have a very good memory myself, I had a peek through an old photo album for inspiration and decided to base my images on my long-time friendship with a well known character......Morph!! I used to carry him everywhere with me, so we have shared lots of memories together.

I had no plans to do any more than one image (like usual), but the idea kept on growing and I ended up working on 5 different images. This ended up being 4 when it came to the final drawing stage, and then had to cut one of the illustrations as it didn't fit in as well as the 3 I have used (will dig it out for a future I.F word im sure!!). I enjoyed working on these images, and I hope you enjoy looking at them. Click on pictures below to view them separately. :-D
