Time to wrap up

On my lunch break the other day I happened upon these two fellows. Someone was kind enough to think of their comfort!

Make sure if you're in the Brislington area of Bristol you check out new shop Tenderfoot which opened last weekend. Run by the amazing Lori and Helen this is a great place to pick up some beautiful christmas presents and they have some great workshops. They have been kind enough to stock some of my things too! (Also don't forget to gaze wondrously at their fabulous sign, done by my talented other)

Stocking up

Another colour added to the shop. Hope you like them!! Perfect little stocking fillers!

Shop update!!

Little ladies in the shop now!! More fabric variations on the way....

Also, there have been some reductions on my crochet toys; Bellamy is now £18, Bellamy no.2 is £20 and Dog Dog is now £30. Happy shopping!!

Little person

Look out for some little people in the shop soon. I've just got to do a few tweaks and they'll be ready to go. They are made with vintage fabric and stuffed with fibrefill, some will have lavender in them, and finished off with a couple of vintage buttons. Hope you like!

Autumnal wanderings

Well, this didn't seem like it was over two weeks ago now but I guess time has rushed past me again! These pics are from a rather lovely day spent in Woodchester Park for my birthday. It's such a beautiful place and we sat and had a rather nice picnic by one of the many lakes. Perfect!

Busy times ahead

Sorry for the distinct lack of posts recently! I'm busy working on the artworks for a new picture book featuring Percy (the little guy below) from Thanksgiving Rules. My desk is such a mess with bits of paper flying around all over the place. I don't know how I manage to find a space to work!
This is Percy Isaac Gifford. I recently did a little image of him to be used on Lerner's website. Go check it out here, roll over his face and see what happens! :)

I will try and keep up with my posts, promise!

Red

Just finished this picture, which I'll be exhibiting along with other Jamaica Street illustrators at St George's in Bristol. It's a three part exhibition spread over the course of a year entitled 'Red, Yellow, Blue'. It will be exhibiting from friday 27th August. Also the private view is the 8th September so do come along! Here's the flyer and a bit of blurb about it...
The JSA's eclectic group of illustrators return to St George's with the exhibition 'Red, Yellow, Blue'. This year-long revolving show evolves with St George's tri-annual programme, presenting a unique twist on each colour throughout the year.

Traditionally illustration is associated with the act of distinction; therefore each period the exhibiting illustrators interpret a new primary colour, in their own distinct style, paying homage to this formidable triptych. Starting with 'Red', the thematic simplicity of this minimalist colour palette creates an exciting platform for creativity and diversity, following in the historic footsteps of artistic giants Mondrian, Richter and Newman.

This inventive exhibition highlights a wealth of emerging talent, whilst also promising familiar faces: with Emma Dibben's mouth-watering morsels and Rose Sanderson's weird and wonderful creations; fantastical flights of fancy from children's illustrators Serena Curmi and Teresa Murfin; humorous outings from Leah Heming and Bjorn Rune Lie; horticultural heritage from Hannah McVicar; luminous vistas from Abigail McDougall; and the dark and surreal from newcomer Tom Mead.

The three-part nature of this exhibition guarantees an unravelling year of surprises for new and returning visitors to St George's, creating a dynamic yet harmonious visual treat inspired by the grandeur of this atmospheric venue.
