The urge to draw something {IF - Prepare}

I had this urge to draw, all day while I was at work making the world a better place with graphic design. Was listening to a lot of Lana Del Rey, fascinated with her music lately, and surprise, surprise, I draw a girl. It has been a while. I let myself off, maybe I just needed to get this out.

I don't like finishing / polishing off a piece, it never looks how I intended most of the time.

I need to just. draw. more. bianca. More nights in with the cider and watercolours to come :)

Illustration Friday - I prepared all the pencil work and watercolour individually, then combined in Photoshop. Kind of works with the topic!

Illy Friday {Messenger}

I haven't done an Illy Friday in a while and had the sudden urge for one while Tobes ducked out for twenty minutes. Lead pencil and scanned in patterns and coffee stain from previous works. Hope to spend more time on art in 2012

I now have a Made It shop!

I have set up a made it shop! I thought I would give it a shot as I have a few prints left in my office and would love to clear them out to make room for some new ones

{ IF } Scary

I don't like scary things. So here's a pic of Bambi :)
I am sure if you are browsing Illy Friday this week you might be sick of seeing scary things so this may be a nice, calming break.
Pencil and watercolour, with scans of vintage wallpapers (trying something a little different). Love the way watercolour follows the pencil lines. Fun.

Illy Friday - Contraption

My fiance Toby is great at making handy contraptions like the image above. Pictured is the original 6 prong Weiner Roaster that was made for our neighbours Andrew and Denise for the Canadian Party we had on the weekend. Such a timesaver - roasting 6 weiners instead of 1 at a time :)

Upon review, Toby is a bit upset I have missed out a lot of delicate details such as the angle of the prong and such. But we don't have all day for this.

Illy Friday - Hibernate

I learnt something new today. Ladybirds hibernate in the Winter. Thousands of them go and hang out together until Spring time comes along. Cute hey.

Illy Friday - Mesmerizing

How can you not be mesmerized by the way ballet dancers gracefully float around, so light on their feet. Although these girls look like they are a bit clunky they are dancing better than me.

Europe Postcards {1 year on} Still plugging away

Been plugging away still with this little project on my Facebook page. It is keeping me entertained looking back over journal entries, that is for sure! Heading on a little break in two days! Hooray! I need some sun. This time last year was awesomely stinking hot, I miss that!
