Illustration Friday _ Creature

Illustration Friday this week is Creature. I was feeling inventive. This is the little known Himalayan doyakorse. Don't let her appearance fool you, whilst she seems docile enough she could take you're arm off if your not careful! 

Oh poo! i missed the deadline for the illustration Friday word "Entangled" and I even had an old one ready to go.... too busy, that's my problem. Oh well, enjoy it anyway 

Illustration Friday _Underwater

Snorkelling lesson number 9

The jury is out on this one, she is not my favourite illustration, but I don't have more time to adjust her. 

I figure this girl is having snorkelling lessons, perhaps at our local aquatic centre where dibbydabby illustrations has done some character design for swim classes.... :) ..... (Yah!!)..... :)

Illustration Friday, together.

Mums and daughters can achieve anything together if they put their mind to it. 

Well yet again I have been absent from my blog  for yonks...

I have been very lucky to  have been working on some exciting illustration projects which is wonderful for me, I'm finally edging toward my dream :)

I'll put more up about that soon! :) 

Illustration Friday - Lush

Oh dear! Mortimer has been hitting the honey rum liqueur chocolates again.....

Illustration Friday - Jungle

What can I say, someone seems to be a Mr Grumpy pants.....

Illustration Friday. Robot

I think we all need one of these.
The best thing about it is that she actually enjoys house work so we are not treating her unfairly by making it her lot in life....
Now, where can I buy one?

Illustration Friday survielance

Just a quick doodle today, surveillance makes me think of spies, and spies make me think of Spy versus Spy which I love reading in Mad magazines whenever I can . I haven't bought a Mad for a little while now, might be time to invest in some more I think.
This is a classic spy joke which never loses its humour for me. I'm sure the spy versus spy guys have done it before too.

TGIF - happy weekend

Happy weekend everyone! Have a great one.

Illustration Friday - Sweet

Good morning - well it is as I write this here. Its a four day weekend for me - Yah! No wonder I'm happy!

The Illustration Friday word this week is sweet so I decided to put this little illustration up for my submission.

We have a sweet little friend who had a birthday recently and she requested a painting of bunnies and these are the bunnies I came up with for her. I was surprised as I had previously done a painting for her and thought one would be enough as children probably wanted toys and fun things for birthdays more than artwork, Because of this it was a bit last minute when she asked me but I felt really proud that she did. 

I'm happy to report they were well received and these bunnies now have their own new and very loving home. 

Illustration Friday _ Tension

No frills this week, this is a photo straight out of my sketchbook, not even scanned, but you get the gist well enough I am sure, without me having to gussy it up with lighting etc....

Helga pig was always trying to find new ways to dazzle and amaze her friends, but the tension mounted as even she wondered if she had gone too far this time, especially with Mums good china at stake.... 

Illustration Friday _ Future

Want to know the truth about the future?

Maybe its best you don't know........

Illustration Friday _ farewell

It had only been a few hours and already she was missing her friend.

Farewells are always hard, even for piggies....


oops - just posted this and on doing so realised that 'farewell' was last weeks word... well this is a tribute to that fine word last week! 

Illustration Friday - train

I've been with my niece for the week and she has inspired me...

The focus of this weeks very quick illustration is of course the brides train. I didnt feel like drawing a locomotive this week. :D 

Illustration Friday _ wild

I'd just like to state that no animals were seriously harmed in the making of this illustration  they were both being very very naughty so Tarzan had to pop them into a sleeper hold so that he could talk to them about manners later when they woke up and were more settled. 

Illustration Friday - Egg

Illustration friday_Glasses

Wilbur was ecstatic with his new glasses 

Those cooking shows always made Daryl hungry  

I think I'm a lot like Daryl, and there are a large number of cooking shows on television these days.... they inspire me to cook and eat. Mmm, I had better start watching a few fitness shows instead. 

Illustration Friday - yesterday

A new week means a new word! This week that word is yesterday and for us in Australia, yesterday, today and tomorrow all have something in common - the weather is HOT!

Illustration Friday_Talent

This weeks IF entry. I hope you enjoy it.

I might have to change my blog security settings and stop the potential for anonymous comments. I left it on so people who didn't have blog etc. could leave me comments without having to sign up to anything. Sadly some 'orrible little spammers have found my page. What pathetic little lives they must have to put energy into posting asinine comments on other peoples blogs to try and lure them into visiting webpages.... Oh well, it takes all sorts I guess.
