Catching Up On Here! 3 Fabulous Commissions

It's been a while! Sorry, got busy after returning from New York.
(which I will post about very soon, it was very good)

Before I do that I need to share with you these 3 gorgeous commissions that happened before I went.
I was even able to deliver them by hand, in NYC!

Sadly two of these beautiful canines are no longer with us. I know they will be greatly missed, and I also know that the portraits will be totally treasured.
As I've said many times before I'm always very honoured to be given the duty of capturing memorial portraits. To be trusted with them is something I never take for granted.

Thank you Emma, I loved having them as models.
So here's Koko, Winnie and Valentino.

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

Custom Portraits in Time For Xmas -

Pass it on. You never know, you might be the recipient of a surprise gift ; ) x

A Chihuahua Named Petunia - Pup Art with Barkbox

Hello and welcome to a new week.

Just wanted to let you know about an event I'm taking part in to help rescue dogs.

I was approached by the lovely people of BarkBox to take part in this benefit event that will be hosted in NYC. Pup Art is "A Show For Fluffy Singles" that will help raise money for our four legged friends in need, by selling artwork.

All I needed to do was download the Barkbuddy app (like Tinder for humans, but matches you with your ideal canine friend) choose a canine I fell for and create a piece of work inspired by them.

I choose Petunia, a cross breed of chihuahua and catahoula leopard dog. She's amazing!

I was immediately drawn to her for her fabulous 'old womans' name. Her blue eyes which stared straight back at me and had a very soulful feel to them, and also she had the best markings!
Sadly I can't adopt her as she resides in Brooklyn, NY.
But you can bet your life if I lived there I'd be making a trip to visit her in person.

The event of all artist work involved will be help at:
Brooklyn Bubble Wrap Studios
58 South 6th Street,
Brooklyn NY.
On the 9th October from 6-8pm.

So if you're lucky enough to live in NY, head down there. Grab yourself some art, help out those gorgeous mutts and get a free glass of wine ; )

R.S.V.P. here to make sure you get a spot.

Vintage Poodle Tin Portrait - Available Soon x

This week as well as working on commissions I've been doing some packing for the big move from Bath to Oxford!
It's meant I've had some time to appreciate some of my collected tat that I can at times overlook.
These vintage tins with canines on them are just a few of those things.
It inspired me to draw a vintage tin poodle portrait : )

There's plenty of scope for added kitschness with these.
I look forward to be able to offer them very soon.

Midweek Pick Me Up - Tequila

Hello there,

Again another busy productive week.
Hope yours is a good one also.

This is one of the latest commissions I've had the delight of doing.
Tequila, a little lady from Buffalo NY.

Have a great day, must dash. x x x

A Little Japanese Chin Cheer!

This year I have great plans ( don't we all in January!).

But I don't want them to fall by the wayside, I feel inspired to do more.

I want to get more active and engaged online and sociably with friends.

Be far more creative and push myself, and rediscover skills I have and have not used for a while.

So, so far the week has started well, I achieved what I set out to do and more!

Hope yours has been a good one too. x

Sending a bit of Japanese Chin Cheer.

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.

Whatever you are up to over the next few weeks, I hope you have a wonderful time and get to enjoy some down time too.

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

A Return With Some Spots

For a little while now my scanner/printer has been unresponsive to my vintage computer!
The problem was solved this week with great joy.
So I am able to scan again.
I didn't realise how important it was to my work, so I'm delighted that I can now draw, scan and create. The little things that make us happy hey!

So on the returned use of such technology here's Walter.
I think the name may have come from watching far too much breaking Bad of late.

Have a fabulous Wednesday. x x x x

Cassie and Daisy The Lovely Griffons

Happy Monday. I'm back in work mode now, busy, busy till the holidays : )

These two lovelies are Cassie and Daisy.
They are the models of Mr Soft Top. You can see plenty more super gorgeous canines there!
I've got to say, I do Love a Brussel Griffon.

A Slightly Vampish Canine!

This is Churri, a commission from a little while back.
I thought she was worth sharing as she's sort of vampish!

I'm not sure she would agree, but there is no denying that those teeth, ears and black hoodie make her look a little bat like.
Either way she is great, and with tons of character.
The perfect model for my Halloween Deal : ) x

Celebration Commission - Eddie The Ring Bearer

Hello. Friday Again!
Where did that week go?

I've just finished a commission as a gift for a recently married couple.
Their dog Eddie was the ring bearer, sweet!

It's winging it's way to them now.
So I hope that they, and of course the gorgeous model Eddie, are pleased with their gift.

Have a lovely Friday.

Loving the unexpected!

Hello!
Hope this week is a good one for you so far.

All go this way with the start of the new uni term. (teaching head back on ; )

I loved being a student, getting to be creative and explore, exciting times.
But saying that, I love getting to be creative and explore in my own work.
This week I have talked with a passionate and eccentric lady who has wonderful projects on the go.
And I may be able to be a part of it in some way, which is fabulous.
In talks with a few other people, and about to start some card designs for a wonderful company in NY!
Sometines it's easy to forget how many good things are in your life.
I feel I've got plenty at the mo : ) x

Might seem weird, but I love it!
