Canines and Colourful Rugs

Blimey, it's getting chillier around here!
Where's that nice weather gone to?

Well these canines are refusing to think summer is coming to an end by wearing and surrounding themselves with colour and floral pattern.
A good idea I think.

About 4 Years Ago....

I started drawing canines, had an exhibition and opened up an Etsy shop.
Who'd have thought it would have taken me on such a delightful journey.

Glenda here, in her old ladies headscarf is to play homage to the first pooches I drew and stitched as well as my lovely nan who gave me my love of all things kitsch.
( that wasn't meant to rhyme ; )
Thanks also for anyone that has stopped by, commissioned me, and supported me.

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!

Cocker Spaniel Wearing A Cravat

Yesterday I wanted to draw but my mind could not think, so I asked for the help of the lovely folk that like my Facebook page.
Lots of great ideas were suggested - A westie in a plaid vest, Dalmation in multicoloured neon tennis shoes, a shih tzu on a leopard print rug were just a few.
I picked which one I would draw at random and out came a cocker spaniel in a cravat.
So here he is. Meet Reginald.

Dottie The Rottweiler

I had a fabulous birthday weekend in London.
Lunch at Dinner and then a trip to the Royal Albert Hall for some classical music.
A meet up with some friends and the sun came out (intermittently)
2013, the year I went fancy. Thanks Mr. B x x

So it made sense for the last few days to focus on some classy canines.
This is Dottie, the rottweiler of refined taste : )

Party Season and Happy Holidays!

The party season is here. 

And I don't know about you, but I'm ready for winding down for a bit and enjoying some time with friends and family.

I'll be around for a few more days yet, but Me and Lars would like to say Happy Holidays to you!

A corner of Grumps!

Friday already!
Where did the week go?
Only been back from my trip to France a week and already booking the next.
This time Amsterdam! Can't wait : )

While working today I looked over and noticed a green grumpy corner to my flat/studio!

Birthday Bulldog

Hope you've had a great weekend.
It was the other half's birthday at the weekend, so we headed to Cardiff.
A fantastic 7 course tasting meal was indulged in. My first ever meal of such extravagance!
And very lovely it was too.
I think it will be a while before there's another one of those, I'll have to get saving my pennies ; )

Rather than a standard card, I decided to creat a 3d one.
Here's the grumpy bulldog that gave the birthday greeting.

Ps. Cards/images of similar kinds can be ordered on request x

A little bit of perspex, some pens and cutting and sticking, results in the below.
Getting a few illustrations together inspired by the games.

Quite intrigued now : )

Sunday Night Doodle.

After a lovely weekend in Bath a sketch to bring me into Monday.
A lovely few days of relaxing, walking, talking and seeing an old and wonderful friend!
Conversations about Crocs, journalism and JLS over drinks and crisps, really nothing more pleasant, believe it or not!!
Thanks to Steve, Lara and Sam for a fabulous, yet simple Saturday night.

Today saw me setting up my Mantelpiece for the exhibition which opens tomorrow, going for a run along the canal and generally learning how to relax! (Something that has not been a default setting of mine!)

The Horrors and The Pointer Sisters, two things I've listened to today!

A beefy bulldog for friends in England and The States. x x x

Glorious Griffin!

What a couple of weeks this has been!
But great.
Had tons of commissions all of which have bee a joy to do.
Thanks to all the people that have bought or commisioned me from my Etsy site.

Today I have been drawing a Brussels Griffin.
Such a character filled canine.
It inspired me to draw another, this time dressed in a bow tie.

Tomorrow I have a day off.
Looking forward to it!
have a great weekend.
