Sorry it's been a while.

It's been a busy time, but all good and I'm getting to do the thing I love most, draw canines.

I'm Off To New York, And I'm Excited!

I'm off to New York, and I must say I'm very happy about it.
The last, and first time I was there was around 6-7 years ago, and I had a wonderful time.
I found the city to be vibrant, enthusiastic and with a ton of things to see.
I've never looked up so much!

I'm off there for several reason/excuses!
Firstly I'm going to Surtex, not to show, but to help out some lovely ladies on their stand, Cloverly is the collective, and they are all super talented.
Secondly, I'm going to walk the show, see what it's all about.
Thirdly, I'll be seeing and staying with my wonderful and dear friend Ben Copperwheat.
Fourthly, I'll be meeting up with lots of other lovely people that I know, that either live there or are going to be visiting because of the show too!
And finally, I'll be seeing the city, looking at art, enjoying the surroundings and being joined by the other half, Mr Steve, at the end. We've always said we wanted to see it together, so now seems like the best time.

Can't wait. I'll be posting photos. Promise!

See you soon x x x

I'll leave you with Piko in New York x

Paddy The Cocker Spaniel With Flower Crown

It's been a busy week for commissions and project work.

I had the pleasure of creating a portrait of Paddy, who turns 14 very soon.
Apparently he's a fan of a flower crown.
Who am I to deny such things.

Greyhound Repeat

Good Morning!
March is here, and Spring is finally feeling like it's upon us. Delightful.

I intend to be far more present on here and fill it with colour, pattern and embroidery.
I can't grumble about my absence as I've been busy, but enough is enough ; )

So to start things off, here's a greyhound repeat with a gemstone saddle!

See you again soon X X X

Dolled Up Dogs - New Greeting Card Collection

Dolled Up Dogs, with pink cheeks, eyeshadow and of course some patterned accessories.

My love of canines and pattern has continued with these new illustrations.
What started off as a few sketches, evolved into a new collection of greeting cards.

The list of canines so far are - pug, dachshund, bulldog, american bulldog, bull terrier, shiba, fox terrier, maltese, japanese chin and standard poodle.
All pooches will either have eyeshadow, blushed cheeks or a fancy neck piece, perhaps all three in some cases. Completely Dolled Up!

There will be more breeds being added to the list very soon.
Any requests will be happily taken, and of course if you fancy a Custom Portrait of your pooch drop me an e-mail at info@studio-legohead.com

Pop over to my Etsy shop to see more x x x

I Like You Nearly As Much....

Not sure what to get that fellow dog lover in your life?

Valentines Day is coming up and if you're stuck for ideas how about a custom portrait of their beloved four legged friend?

You'll receive a personalised gift voucher that you can give to the recipient.
They then get in touch with me, we discuss what they'd like and go from there.

Gift Vouchers are available in my Etsy shop, or you can send me an e-mail at info@studio-legohead.com

Bye for now

Me If I Had Blond Hair And Had A Dog

The other day I found myself daydreaming about having a canine friend.
Being back in my hometown over christmas and being around so many animals heightened my desire for a four legged friend.

So here's me, if I were blonde, a doll and had a canine pal to pet ; ) x x x

Christmas Gifts And Wallpaper Samples

Where did that holiday go?
Hope you had a lovely Christmas. I have been away in paris (lucky me) and then back visiting family and friends in my hometown, also very nice.

Over the holiday period I received the below gifts, and also my Spoonflower wallpaper samples arrived. Thrilled with all.
Super kitsch Bosson plaster dog heads, cat brooch from Bels Art World, geometric brooch from Modern Art Oxford and obligatory ceramic dog! Thank you all.

Hope you received some thoughtful gifts too, but more than anything that you spent time relaxing and enjoying the company of some nice people. x x x

Fabric On Spoonflower

Hello,
Hope you've had a good week.
It's been a busy one here, lots of commissions for christmas being completed.
Some I'll be able to share soon, but in the meantime....

I got my act together and added some fabrics to Spoonflower.
There's a limited selection so far, but there will soon be more.
So far we have canines and some vintage dolls.
But soon there will be plenty of florals heading on there too.

Canines and polka dots to end the week. x x x

Italian Greyhounds And Some Flowers

Hello,
I've been busy working in Christmas commissions, hence the lack of posts.
All good here and enjoying the portrait flurry.

Meet Pippa and Dusty, the canine friends of I Heart Whippets.
I recently took part in their annual Xmas auction where one of my custom portraits helped raise some of the £8000's for sighthound charities. That portrait was completed and then I was commissioned to capture these two fabulous italian greyhounds.
Total beauties and a delight to draw. x x x
