More Joy Weekend!
Jan. 15th, 2022 09:13 pm Ok, I'm shamelessly stealing this idea from the lovely goss, because first and foremost, since she's busy giving doodle gifts, I'd like to do one for her!
But anyone who wants to play, please feel free!
I'll do as many as I can up to the end of Monday (let's make it a long weekend since I'm already halfway in).
Leave a comment sharing 3 things that bring you joy and/or a quote, phrase or song lyric that you love, and I'll doodle you something inspired by it.
Happy More Joy Day! ♥
Doodling noodling
Jan. 14th, 2022 09:24 pmAs a diversion in between designing for this year's trails - so many deadlines recently! - been doodling.

I could definitely have done with starting bigger - this is only 11cm across so far, still plenty of space to fill! It's hard to colour in the tiny spaces...especially as the markers I'm using aren't particularly fine and the ink tends to spread.

Arty Farty Update
Mar. 6th, 2021 02:33 pmI've been busy, but for some reason, motivating myself to post has been lacking, so this is just a sample catch up really.
I've finished painting a giant hare for a sculpture trail in Southend, a book bench for a trail in Kings Lynn, and I'm now in the middle of painting a giant rocket for Leicester. The hare and the bench both fitted in the house fine, but the rocket is 1m wide at both base and belly, and all our doors are 90cm max. So I'm set up in my brother in law's garage, which was kind of him!
Rocket progress pics
For scale, with me (I'm 5'1")

It's a urban wildlife theme - so there's a night and a day side, and there'll be various critters featured.

Early days yet though.
In between times I'm trying to draw stuff. Any old stuff really. Here's a doodle page, trying out Zig Writers - I love the fine liner ends of the double ended pens.

I've done a watercolour for Meanttobe, hopefully posting with my author next week, and also in the pipeline are two elephants which will be arriving once the rocket is finished. Fingers crossed I can get them both in the garage! They are much bigger than the Elmers - 3m long!
