Panda With Roses Triptych Illustration

Panda Accessories - Work in Progress

Panda triptych ready to go to printers yeah!  People have been asking me about t-shirts etc so I've been busy putting them up for sale in ZAZZLE - still working on them so keep popping by.  It was interesting doing this sequence as I had never done anything like it - took me ages but that's because I'm not very technical LOL

Quote Of The Day

Every little helps and thank you for all my friends who do!!!!

Panda With Roses Triptych Illustration

Panda With Roses

Just hung them up on the studio wall to see how they looked.  As a kid's wear designer I was asked to come up with some garments for panda playsuits and at the time I remember thinking what if it was reversed and the pandas wore the playsuits! Well the idea has eventually made it mixed in with a tattoo theme - go figure!!!

These are all A3 fine line pen drawings so I hope to have them as limited edition prints A4, possibly A3.  I have one in a range of accessories at my shop - must sort the rest out ASAP and donate some of it to the WWF fund again.

The Raven & Roses Tattoo

Latest work winging its way to a new home.  A new tattoo for someone and the first time I've tackled a raven - I don't know whether I like them or not but enjoying my second tattoo commission.  Extract from the RSPB website "The raven is a big black bird, a member of the crow family. It is massive - the biggest member of the crow family. It is all black with a large bill, and long wings. In flight, it shows a diamond-shaped tail."

Inspiration

My lovely family got me a new phone for my birthday so I've been trying to get to grips with it and Instagram (as everyone thought it would be great for me). Love them both!!!  Let me know if you're on Instagram!  These are just some of my newbie pics!

Indian Horse

Well it's decision time - do I add colour?  I've also decided to produce about 6 studies of the Indian Horse and develop a range of prints from them so if I should've left it black and white won't be too major a decision as I'll have others to choose from.

My inspiration came from a 'blast from the past' as I had illustrated an Indian Horse before and I thought it would be fun to see if my style has changed.  I made into a greetings card and phone cover and it's available in my shop.
