bonjour... paresse?

one year later, blah blah blah. i don't feel guilty.

i feel like showing you this;



my gorgeous friend liz is getting married in august and this is the invite i created for her. i hope she doesn't mind me putting it on here.

the theme for the whole wedding is lilac and grey. robyn is a tree surgeon, and they keep chickens. they wanted something non-traditional and hand drawn. they liked it, so i'm happy.

see you in a year.

more stories of silk

Until I manage to do another drawing, I leave you this;

silky kitty

OK so three posts in one night is quite an obvious result of this chain of thought; 'oh darn it I should have at least bothered to write something on my blog in 2010 to satisfy, at the very least, my overwhelming need to believe that i am just a tiny bit interesting' (george this is your fault for being on it and funny here) but anyway, look at this and salivate;



mmmm silky kitty.

oh hi birdie

awkward.

Cows.

I have a natural attraction to pictures of animals. I'm not an animal lover by anyones standards, and vegetarians honestly perplex me, but I really like pictures of cows, and pictures of birds. And pictures of rabbits. This is by an artist called Ian McDonnell and is a witty depiction of various cow body parts, cuts of meat and slaughtering apparatus (carnivore's rule!);



The gold foil is well satisfying.

christmas absence...

i haven't forgotten you blog, i have just been busy moving back to london, starting my new job and celebrating christmas. here is a good photograph of amelia and emily (and me falling off the chair) for you to enjoy until I get my act together...

grrrraffe

first post in a while... my friend aytul pointed out that i should probably put on here what materials were used to make the images. so this is hb pencil on recycled paper.
