Business cards

After nearly 10 years of having business cards with 'Graphic Designer' written on them, I made the step of getting some done with something else I do on them... I wasn't sure to have them all hand drawn or not, but i'm glad I did – anything to get away from choosing a typeface and staring at a computer for too long! I selected three illustrations that cover different subjects that I like to draw, so I feel they are a good representation of me and my style. Really happy with them - can't wait to give them out! 

The neighbour's cats

Our garden here in Muswell Hill is visited by many cats. Over the last year or so we have got to know their personalities and the pecking order! They all seem to love our long grass garden.

At the top of the pile is Felix, a large ginger cat who roams the gardens seeing off any intruding cat. I have never hear him miaow - he just uses his bulk and attitude to scare other rivals! His partner in crime is Ashley, a grey grumpy tom cat who walks around with Felix, he is more vocal and sounds like he is talking gibberish when he gets angry. Next is Molly and Milly they are our neighbours two Dorset blues. They have very short hair, huge ears and long limbs. They enjoy chasing insects in the long grass and are quite keen tree climbers! Their nemesis is a mystery black and white female cat who regularly has stand offs in the garden with them and the bigger cats. She has also brought down a pigeon! The other three cats, a light ginger Felix look-a-like, a nice looking tabby and a white cat with a black spot are all passers by. I have been meaning to draw them all for a while - so here we are, in coloured paper and paint!

Mo Farah eighth in his London Marathon debut

The London marathon was inspiring stuff yesterday, great weather for it. Much respect to those who took part, especially our Mo!

Taking the tube home…

I've had a busy last few weeks hence the lack of posts on here, apologies for that. It's not that I haven't been drawing, because I have everyday. I will catch up with my posts this week and share some of the projects I have been working on, so watch this space!
