Monkey character illustration




















Having looked back at the little monkey post a while ago, I decided to redraw the monkey and try a stronger colourway.

Artist Daniel Eatock























A friend recommended that I have a look at the work of artist Daniel Eatock. His website demonstrates a large amount of work. I chuckled at the photographic project here, the graph paper project appeals to my graphic designer side. Have a look at the project 122333444455555 if you like sequences and patterns in numbers. More number patterns here. Actually there is so much on his site that is intriguing, I must stop now and go back for more...

Lion illustration




















I am currently creating a series of illustrated characters. Here is the latest.

Night Night
























I drew this family of owls today while working on a logo design. Hexagon shapes for the logo were sitting together on the page but all I could see was owls! It must be time to sleep. The logo ideas can continue tomorrow with fresh eyes. It would make a nice motif for children's pyjamas or bedlinen range. Night night!

Gut Buster





















In the last few weeks I have been researching the work of contemporary textile artists and designers. This crocheted 'Gut Buster' breakfast made me laugh out loud. It was designed and made by Kate Jenkins, an established textile designer based in Brighton. For more amusing work and some strong graphic patterns have a peek at http://www.cardigan.ltd.uk
