New - Floral Doodle Greeting Cards

Hello and happy wednesday to you.

The sun is making a rare and most welcome appearance here.
I must say it's long overdue. Spring is finally showing it's face.

So to beckon it on even more I'm introducing my new Floral Doodle greeting card series.
At present there is 4, but there will be more coming very soon.

They go a treat with my existing floral doodle prints ( Oh Joy! is a fan and we all know she's got good taste ;)
If you decided you didn't want to send them to anyone, they'd even look great framed on your wall!

All can be found over at my Etsy shop.
Have a super day.

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

Working With Waggo

I recently had the utter delight of being asked to produce some greeting cards for Waggo.
Waggo are a Brooklyn based company founded by Regine Raab, who previously worked at several fashion houses. This is very obvious by the great style that Waggo has on all it's products.

"As an avid shopper for her dog, Benny, she realized there were some things missing from her favorite pet stores. Surrounded by generic merchandise and boilerplate bone and paw print designs, she thought there must be a better way. She decided to develop products that provide style and comfort for her and her dog."

I can happily say they were a joy to work with, and are thrilled with the outcome. 
Having spent 5 weeks in Brooklyn a few years back, I'd love to return, enjoy New York again and meet some people that I've had the pleasure to work with. 

Maybe next year!!

Siamese's and Modern Art Oxford

So yesterday as well as having the company of my lovely Mother visisting.
I/we stuffed plenty of cards into envelopes and cello bags!
Exciting news is that Modern Art Oxford are going to have a range of my cards in their shop.

So with getting them sorted, doing plenty of commissions and socialising a bit too much, everything is good.
Looking forward to a few days in London next week too.
Nice.
Enjoy the rest of week people.

Treasury list makes front page on Etsy!

So as well as working on commissions I've been keeping one eye on Etsy.
I was added to a treasury list by the lovely Briana Rose, you can see here fabulous rings and other jewellry here.
Whilst looking at my Etsy site, I noticed I'd attracted a lot of people who had added me as one of their 'favourites'. It's always nice when people appreciate what you do, so I was chuffed with that.
Then whilst chatting on  Facebook to a person I have befriended who has a love for the Singer Irish and Cornely sewing machines (Jerry Lee, check out his embroidered cowboy shirts, they're great), he informed me that Briana's list had made front page on Etsy!
Briliant. So two more sales for me today, one to Latvia, one to the US.
Thank you to my buyers and to Briana.

The treasury is called Sweet somethings, take a look!

Good night all, sweet dreams.

Glad I have got round to it, feels good to have something on line and really it was pretty simple to do. What the heck took me so long?!!
