Ink Sketch - Lana Del Rey

I woke up this morning really wanting to draw something. I was still in a silly dreamy mood and spent around 45 minutes on this inky sketch of Lana Del Rey, (I must find the source of the wonderful photograph I used for reference), before I ran to work and got there in the nick of time. I’m enjoying how people are finding it so difficult to define her.

Dum Dum Girls - 

Was rummaging through my bag and found this old ticket stub *Sigh*. They’re awesome.

Check out Jen’s film of it. She records awesome gigs. 

Library Doodle - Cat

Found a few minutes to draw a cat at work. There’s always time to draw a cat.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 

Wahey! Received my copy of Snow White from the publisher. So that’s the two Classic Tales commissions done. They’re really hard to find on the net. Well they’re not even up on the publisher site yet, and they’re actually for schools. Bleh.

Library Display: Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon

I’ve been doing displays at the library I work at ever since they realised I did illustration work. However, I’ve never really thought about, or had the time to record and photograph them, Its just too busy an environment. I managed to get some time to sneak off the counter and create a display to mark the Chinese New Year. After taking the advice of a fellow colleague, I took my camera along today to get a few quick snaps before it all disappears and transforms into something else. I’ve already had to heal the poor dragons forelimb after finding it torn off. No doubt, the workings of a jubilant 2 year old. It’s ephemeral art really and I’ve never felt too precious about them, but I always find them sooo enjoyable to create even if it means getting distracted by small library patrons asking for help finding Rainbow Magic and Horrid Henry Books.

Ink Sketch - Sherlock Holmes

I’ve been watching Guy Ritchie’s adaption of Sherlock Holmes in his recent films. However, I seem to have fallen in love with Jeremy Brett’s portrayal of this awesome character. Oo oo, first artwork of the year - Yeh!

Animal Ink Doodles - 

I’m feeling ill. Just some more animal studies.

Sketchbook stuff

Some spreads from a small A5 sketchbook I finished working in a while ago. Oh yeah, some where drawn at the Isle of Wight.

Dee Dee of Dum Dum Girls

Tired now, and it was an awful day at work today so I played around with that ink drawing in my sketchbook of Dee Dee. Thanks for that circle of roses idea Jen. 

Siren

I was feeling ill yesterday… so I drew.
