The Apology - Mantelpiece Meet-Ups

An apology has been made, as yet we are not sure if it has been accepted.
Perhaps more is in order. She seems a little defiant.
I'm sure it will end happily.

The Pets Pyjamas Portrait Competition.

Hello there,

Have you heard of Pets Pyjamas?
If not, pop over and take a look. It's a fabulous shopping destination for you and your pets, it's totally stylish too.
As well as selling tons of pet related products, they also offer a Pet Neighbourhood page where you can connect with fellow pet lovers in your area and share of the best places to visit that are four legged friend friendly!

So to get more to the point, I'm running a competition with them, to win a portrait by me.
Head over and enter. : D x

A Good Mix Of Things

Yesterday was a productive day. 

When I stop and think about what I am doing I do feel very fortunate.

My jobs consisted of doing an illustration of an academic who's research area actually hurts my head to think about.

Next a commission of a Jubilee style portrait of a classy canine wearing "a tiara, like Kate Middletons".

And I even got a bit of time to draw this lady below.

Always a lover of things that have a hint of the 80's, I think the grey lines add enough of that to her portrait.

Oh and I listened to a lot of Prince!
