Sneak peak - new spooky halloween themed cards

I can't believe it's October already! I've been super busy drawing & making lots of lovely Christmassy themed cards and new prints which will be ready for sale within the next week or so. It's scary how fast the time is flying. And speaking of scary, have a look at my new Halloween themed cards. There are three different designs to choose from...

If you have any birthdays coming up this month, or just fancy sending a spooky card, why not visit my shop for one of these? They would also make great Halloween party invitations. What do you think of my vampire lion? His name is "Count Roar".

Shop opening...

I can't beleive it's monday again! I'm so busy at the moment, the weeks are just flying by. I managed to find some time over the weekend to get round to photographing all the things that I've been working on for the last few months and have finally set my shop up. Here's a taster of the sort of prints that are available... I hope you like them!

      

I'll also be adding lots of cards very soon too. Thanks for looking :-)

Sunday...

David took the little bear swimming this morning, so I took the opportunity to get on with some work. I wanted to draw some new backgrounds for my twitter page...what do you think?

Work in progress...

I've been doing a lot of work 'behind the scenes' lately, working on logos and looking into printing, paper types etc. I want my prints to be of the best possible quality, so they remain as close to the original artwork as possible. There's a lot of work to be done before I will be ready to go, and I'm still trying to find a balance between looking after an energetic toddler full-time and being creative.

I've been experimenting with Posca markers recently, and I have to say so far I love them. They give a really bold, vibrant and solid colour, an effect I often strive to achieve in my artwork. I have been using the medium size markers, which are a good starting point as the tip is fat enough to block colour largers areas, yet small enough for some detail. I'm pleased with the results so far, and particularly love the fresh blue in this image...what do you think?
