doodles and stuff

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

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 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

The month for hearts, cupids and declarations of love is almost upon us once again. I’ve been drawing lots of little characters lately and the little owl above is one of them. He’ll appear on a small range of valentines cards and postcards in the Folksy and Etsy shop next week.

Before i start ‘zipping up my boots, and going back to my roots’ (in Yorkshire), I’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year, with lots of laughter and scribbles.

Thank you for your continued interest in my work and for the lovely messages i receive about it. I appreciate and treasure them all.

Christmas wishes

I’ve been working on lots of things i hope to post soon, but for now, here is a little illustration i did this month of a pirate with his bowler hatted parrot.

If you’re in or around the Rickmansworth area on the eve of November the 25th, you’ll be able to find a lot of lovely and yummy things at the twinkly starlight Little Fox Market. Come along, have some mulled wine and see some twinkles.

For details visit The Little Fox Market website.

A very quick illustration inspired by the weather today (turn a pea from previous drawing yellow and et voila! Mr sun enjoying a coca lola!)

I’m indoors scribbling but the sun is out with his sun visor on. Happy Hot October, UK!

P.s - I’ll draw another next week when it dumps it down with snow…

I had the pleasure of working on a little anniversary commission this week. Looks like the peas are in a pod tent which is quite appropriate as i believe the ‘2 little peas’ are indeed spending their anniversary camping.

Happy Anniversary to K&M!x

The Lovely people at The Print Space featured me on their blog today! You can read it here. Thanks guys!

Blue skies above, gazebo poles tucked under each arm, a fun day was ahead.
Little Fox Market was nesting cosily behind The Fox and Hounds pub in Rickmansworth and packed with lots of interesting and unique stalls.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said ‘Hello!’ and to my 2 helpers Hannah and Phil.
Though it did get soggy in the afternoon, even with a slightly leaky gazebo, there’s nothing quite like sitting outdoors with a yummy ‘Gingercups’ cupcake and a coffee on a wet summers day.

If you want a special little something for a gift this market is a great place to find it! Great stalls with lovely friendly stall holders. I left for home with waterlogged shoes, but with a smile and a tummy full of cup cake.

Now looking forward to my next venture there in November and hopefully to catch the September market as a shopper! ;o)
