Its been a while...

Its been a busy few months, and although the blog has been slightly neglected, there has been a lot of work going on!

I have been printing a lot and I am really getting into cutting and printing lino. My latest lino work is a series of letters, each are a three colour reduction block print. 

I have also been drawing dogs. I love dogs!

I have also discovered Instagram which is a great little app for sharing photos, and it has served as a mini blog for the past few months. Another great app is Diptic which created the lovely photo collage layout I have used for the images above.

Lino Printing on t-shirts...

A little experiment, I would like to see if I can print onto fabric with small lino blocks and oil based inks.

We love fried chicken!

Blackboard details are left blank as the wedding is not until late summer!

Science festival preparations

Here are some pieces I have been working on for the Edinburgh international science festival. I have been commissioned to produce illustrated animals and insects that will be displayed in the National museum of Scotland alongside a children's science exhibition. More photos to come from the exhibition when everything is put up next week!

This drawing has taken me days as i have been suffering from some sort of flu Illness. Feeling a bit better now, but this drawing is still not finished! i think i need a couple of days away from it to decide what to do next.
