Mother And Daughter Custom Canines

This week I've had the delight of two commissions.
Meet Koko, the mum and Winnie, the daughter.
These were commissioned from a fabulous artist and designer Emma Schonenberg.

Apparently she has two more gorgeous American Bulldogs from the same family.
Slightly jealous.

Vintage Dolls And Canine Couples

Morning!
Well, it has to be said, I'm thoroughly enjoying drawing dolls and canine couples.
I'm going to keep going with this.
Although I've just been given the new assignment for the Bootcamp course, and editorial spread.

Can't wait to get started.
In the meantime here's some watercolours I've been creating of late.

Betsie Loves Bauhaus

This lovely pointer Betsie, is apparently a fan of the Bauhaus movement.
So of course it's only right she has some neck attire inspired by this.

This week I'll be working on more commissions and packing for my big move!

Trixie Wears Vintage Fruit Finery

This weather! I won't go on, but where has the sun gone?
Well if it won't come to us, we'll have to dress up and add some brightness.
I've discovered some fabulous vintage shops recently.
I'm a sucker for a bit of costume jewellery, as is Trixie below!

And if I had the money, plenty of things from some of these shops.
Dear Golden, NeatoKeen and Bess Georgette another.
Go look : D x

A Classy Canine

Recently I was contacted by a lady with a request for not 1 but 5 portraits.

I was obviously delighted to take them on.

It was a little bit different from my normal canine or feline commission, as it required me to illustrate some horses. They were a total delight to do, and have now been received and the customer is also delighted with them.

Along with the horses I got to draw Bess, twice. 

This is her in Jubilee style. A true classy canine.

Have a fabulous weekend, and I'll see you on the other side : D x x x

Cat Crusader!

This feline thinks he's on it, but I'm not so sure!
Either way, it's nearly Halloween and there's lots of talk of parties this weekend.

So if you're heading out all dressed up, have a fabulous time and have a drink for me : ) x

Don't forget, there's still time to bag a bargain with my Halloween Holiday Deal.
For the haunting holiday standard portraits are $120 and ones with a background are $150.

Now go have fun x x x

Pixie In Paris - A Very Chic Chihuahua

The weekends almost here.
I've had a great week back doing uni teaching. Drawing with 1st year students, seeing what 2nd years have been up to and hearing what the 3rd years have in store for us in the final year!
All exciting.

As well as the part time lecturing, I've been working on commissions.
This is Pixie, the sister of Piko featured yesterday.
Her story from her owner is, that she is a mademoiselle in Paris.

Such nice things to do. I feel very happy with my lot.
Also the other half went to see Stewart Lee in conversation.
Unable to make it due to work, he suprised me with a signed book : D x
And..... a voucher for a tasting meal at a fancy restaurant. Cheers Steve x

It's been a good week.

Have a fabulous weekend.

Gift Vouchers.

Happy New Year!!

So just before Xmas, due to too many commission inquiries to take on, I started offering Gift Vouchers.
These come in the form of a voucher that is e-mailed to the giver of the portrait!
After payment and conversation has taken place these are the steps!

Step 1 - You tell me who it's for and what you would like the message to read.
Step 2 - I create a personalised voucher with your message attached.
Step 3 - You present your gift receiver with the voucher.
Step 4 - They contact me directly with images of their four legged friend and any further requirements.
Step 5 - I complete the portrait and send it directly to them!

So if you are after something personal for someone special, this could be the gift for you.
I have decided to offer this option as sometimes the time it will take me to complete and post means that it may pass the birthday/anniversary/wedding day!
So now it doesn't have to be a problem.

You can purchase them at my Etsy shop or by contacting me directly at info@studio-legohead.com

Bye for now : ) x x x
