My beary good friend


Uh oh! Better keep out of this angry bull's way.... I drew him to go with my happiness bear. I'm also going to do a pelican and a wolf.





Also, I'm doing a series of black and white ink drawings for my portfolio.

The theme I chose for the first few drawings is a story about a boy who wants a pet- but he doesn't want a boring cat or an annoying yappy dog. He wants something FEROCIOUS - a lion, or a tiger, or a crocodile....

One day while on his lengthy walk home, he finds a bear. Next to the bear is a sign saying 'freE BEaR'. Could he have finally gotten his wish...??

Alice and the Gryphon and the Mockturtle

Quick update, finished a painting last week, I decided I wanted to do a scene from Alice in Wonderland, of two slightly underappreciated characters as well. Sorry the colour scan is pretty terrible, I need to get onto getting a better scanner or something Ugh!





I also did this bear, who stands proudly on the front of my new business cards, which I should be recieving tomorrow. Hoo-rah!




I'm also updating my links to the right. More artists!

How does a tiger brush his teeth?

We have an awesome little project at school that I've been scheming and planning for kind of slowly. It's an artist book and we have free reign over everything, pretty much. I want my book to be a fun and playful exploration of images, type and colour, and I want it to be chock-full of animals of course!

So here's a peak at one of the pages I've finished today. How DOES a tiger brush his teeth? I'm not really sure but it seemed something interesting enough to make into a cute picture.




And here's a close up of the tiger. I'm quite proud of him! Rawr!
