doodles and stuff
I am an optimistic scribbler with a love of cake and tea. Found: When not at my desk, mostly in isle 7 in Sainsburys or in the lighting dept at Ikea.
You can see more of my work at www.lisa-hunt.co.uk
I am represented by The Organisation Illustration Agency.
Some of my scribbles are for sale as greeting cards or prints at Folksy or Etsy.

It’s here!
Just in time for Christmas, the iPad story i worked on was released in iTunes app store today. It’s a lovely story written by the people at Ink Robin, about a little girl and her three unusual best friends. There are lots of interactive bits that spin, pop, and go ‘Weeeeeeeeee!’. It will keep little people (and not see little people, ahem,) amused for a while.
You can buy the app here. 
Hello Autumn.
I’m not great as the seasons shift from sunny to overcast with the smell of Autumn in the air. I’m at my happiest when i can smell Spring arriving. At the moment i can smell coffee. Strong coffee. I’m at my desk, my pencils are very sharp (see right), and I’m surrounded by a mountain of scribbles that will only grow higher.
I’m unable to post what I’m working on at the mo but I’m excited to say i have some great things to work on until things get sparkly in December. I’ll post them as soon as i get the nod.
I hope everyone has had a great Summer and your mittens are ready for action!
This months illustration for the HMRC takes on and an Olympic theme with the 200 metre Creature Race.
In the early hours of Sunday morning i fell asleep reading and awoke at 6 am with an uneasy feeling. I opened my eyes and discovered why.
Something I’ve already blogged about but, last year i worked on some characters for the children’s shoe department at Gordon Scott. I hadn’t seen what they looked like until i was sent these photos from the fantastic design agency, Dalziel and Pow. above is how they look in store.
The Hippo, the Rhino, the Elephant and Me.
I can now reveal a sneeky peek of something I’ve been illustrating over the last month. Here are a few sketches from the upcoming interactive story book The Hippo, the Rhino, the Elephant and Me.Written by the lovely folk over at Ink Robin, it should be available in the autumn. I can’t wait to see it!
You can read more about it here - sneak preview and here -work-in-progress
Dragons.
Tis’ the season of Royalness and Summer Fairs. Tomorrow the doodle shop is at the Eastcote Gardens Jubilee Summer Fair, where i will probably be scribbling at the stall.
Ummm, i haven’t done any drawings of the Queenie, but i have drawn a dragon. He has clocked off his fire breathing duties for the weekend and is on his way to his first Jubilee party.
I hope you all have a great one! x
Interactive scribbles!
I’m super excited and honoured to have been chosen by the lovely people over at Ink Robin to work with them on an interactive children’s story next month. You can see titles they have already brought to life here at inkrobin.com . The story should be available for download on the iPadlater in the year.
Edible Artwork
Anyone who knows me would tell you that i love a good piece of cake. Cake is vital fuel to help my creative thought process. Many an illustration has been hatched as I’ve munched on a skinny stem ginger muffin (or a not-so-skinny-should-serve-8 carrot cake from Costco).
You can imagine how my eyes lit up when i saw 2 of my favourite things coupled together, cute quirky monsters made from cake. The creator of the cake is talented bakey-cakey lady, Stacey, whom i had the pleasure of having coffee with a few weeks ago. After dreaming of owning her own bakery for as long as she could remember, on April the 10th Whoo’s Bakery was opened.
If the sight of cake makes your eyes widen and gives you what can only be described as Wallace and Gromit ‘cracking cheese’ fingers, then head on over to Whoo’s Bakery!
Busy bee
This months HMRC illo has a summery feel to it and shows a happy beekeeper with his ginger cat.
Lots to do for the next couple of months but unfortunately can’t post anything i’m working on at the moment. Many late nights scribbling and lots of coffee are involved, I’m keeping bee-sy!
Happy Valentines!
Happy Valentines to you all! I hope everyone has some love heading their way today.
Above is a loosely based valentines illustration i did this month for HMRC. x
