Mixing Things Up

Today in between jobs I've been playing with pattern.

Collaged flowers from two different designs mixed into one.
I think I prefer it this way, a bit wonky!

Using Up Bits And Creating New Things

Two random patterns and a vase of abstract flowers.
Not bad from a few bits and pieces.

A Bouquet To Start The Week

The weathers a bit hit and miss here at the minute.
Certainly quite a way from being bright and summery.
Still, things can be brightened up with some colour and flower.
Have a splendid week.

Hurricane, The Canine With The Best Name And Hairdo!

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.
So here's Hurricane, quite frankly the best name, and with the best hairdo!

I'll leave you with him for now, and I'll be back soon : )
Bonus being I got to draw him twice.

Bright Art Licensing

I'm very happy to be able to share the news that I am now represented by Bright Agency for art licensing. I had the pleasure of meeting the agency at Surtex in May, where I was struck by their friendliness and enthusiasm for what they do.

I've thoroughly enjoyed running my own business for the past 5 and a half years, and I'm equally excited about working with an agency and seeing my designs and illustrations applied to new products.

Do not fret - I am most certainly still taking on Custom Portrait commissions, how could I ever not as it's the part of my job I love the most. And I will also still be selling prints, cards etc.

So not much has changed really other than I get to be represented by a fantastic agency.
Which can only be a thing to get happy about!

Theres so many wonderful artists and designers on board, a few that you can see in a recent blog announcement. Head over and take a peek.

Happy Canine - Summer Commissions

Suns out in full effect this way.
It's a long time coming and very welcome.
What a difference it makes.

Here's Lilly, wearing some summer inspired neckwear.
Always love the commissions I get around this time of year.

Spring Is Upon Us

I won't lie, it's so nice to see and feel the sun.
I don't mind winter, but lets face it, the sun and longer, brighter days are a lot nicer.

Things are warming up here and feeling like Spring is upon us.

Here's my tribute to, perhaps, my favourite season.

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

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

A January Bloom

It feels like an age since I've been able to draw.
So it's so nice to get some time today to create a floral doodle.

After a block of teaching seeing so many creatives producing interesting and inspiring ideas, I'm ready again to get playing.

Heres to a productive few weeks ahead.

Watercolour Vintage Dolls And Canines

Happy Friday,

Hope you've had a good week.
The Lilla Rogers Bootcamp course restarted this week. Very pleased as it's always inspiring.
The topic this time round is vintage dolls/toys.
I've decided to use a medium that I haven't used before, watercolour.

So far I'm very much enjoying the results and theme.
There's plenty of scope for colour and kitschness, always a good thing.

Embroidered Floral Doodle

Well after too long a break I decided to fire up the machine again.
It's such a joyous thing, I forget about its wonder.
So decided to try out a Floral Doodle in stitch.

I see new work on the horizon : D x x x

Floral Fancy

Hello there,
Hope you're having a fabulous week so far.

Mines been good and knocking that glass of wine with dinner on the head for the past 11 days, I'm feeling pretty chipper! Next I might try giving up meat for a month.
Some changes ahead, nothing major, but curious to see how I feel.

As my lovely mother says, "your health is your wealth". I totally agree.

Doggy With Decor

So it's back to the day job and I'm happy to say it's very nice : )
I had a fabulous Xmas and New Year, but I must admit, I did miss my job!
I feel very fortunate that this is the case, and very thankful.

Here's to 2014 being a super year ahead x x x
