Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

I was searching Etsy today for items related to one of my favourite books - Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I have recently had some framed book pages in my shop, and there are more to come soon!

I am so impressed by some of the creativity on Etsy - there is some wonderful work inspired by this beautiful story. The picture above is from NanLawson's lovely shop. I'm a big fan of these illustrations - such a talent!

These super-cute PJs are created by L B Gallery on Etsy. There are even adult ones in the shop! This little guy looks like he is having so much fun :)

Here is another illustration I love. It's from anagalvan on Etsy.

I have to admit to a recent impulse buy from adnagam on Etsy. I have no idea what I am going to do with the envelopes I bought, but I love them! I'm a big fan of recycling old books. It's so much more copywrite friendly to use an actual copy of the book rather than reproducing images yourself. Sadly there is a lot of that about!

ttfn!

Some December News

I've got so much news and I'm so behind! I'm going to put it all in one mammoth blog post. Here goes!

A week or two ago a lovely lady on Etsy bought one of my fave designs, the 'bonjour' pictured above. She works as the set dresser for a movie called 'Burlesque' and is using my work for Christina Aguilera's character's bedroom! Wowzer! I was so excited when I found out I was pretty unbearable to all those around me for the rest of the day. I have to say I'm most excited about the fact that imdb says Dita Von Teese is in the movie! Burlesque on imdb.

If you want to be as cool as Xtina you can buy this piece on Folksy (£) or Etsy ($)



Next piece of news! I've had some great fun at craft fairs these past couple of weeks, especially at the made by artisans show in Peterborough. The wonderful photos were taken by the amazing Pink Milk Photography. I held a free prize draw at the craft fair, offering one lucky punter the chance to win my 'Howdy' pic below. I have drawn a winner and will be contacting them shortly!


Ok last thing I promise!

As you may see I have just opened a Folksy shop, but I have also now got worked featured on Gift Wrapped & Gorgeous and Elephant Shoes. Lots of places to buy!

That's it for now!

Here is my latest custom order, for a lovely lady on Etsy. Any guesses on what the language at the bottom is?!

Some inspiration...

A couple of weekends ago I had a surprise trip to Paris. It was wonderful, and here are some photos!

The graffiti on this building is so creative, and almost matches my wallpaper.



Walking through the streets on the way back to the hotel, we came across this beauty:



I bought a new book to illustrate in the Latin Quarter, there are so many beautiful old bookshops:



J'aime Paris!

A new custom order...

I created this custom for my Aunt and Uncle's 40th Wedding Anniversary (congratulations L & R!). It would make a great present for any numbered occasion!

New Custom Order

I just finished this custom order for a lovely Etsian. It's such a beautiful phrase!

"It is necessary that I bear two or three caterpillars if I want to
know the butterflies."

It's from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.
