Spot the cat!


The Make Art That Sells course has been quite full on but incredibly inspiring and so far I've enjoyed this assignment the most; designing a cover for Uppercase magazine and their Surface Pattern Design Guide. I'm not sure this was the right way to go, but I wanted to explore working with my random floral doodles and doing something a little more grown up than usual...I still had to add a little cat in there though!

Lumberjack Ornaments!


...and why not!? These are my final designs for the Mats Bootcamp assignment, as part of the course I'm doing run by the agent, Lilla Rogers. It's a lot of fun and I'm mostly learning how to experiment a bit more.

I'm a Lumberjack



I've signed up for the Make Art That Sells A and Bootcamp courses recently and it's so great! I'm trying out lots of new techniques and really enjoying the challenge, though I still have lots to do. The first assignment was lumberjacks as ornaments, so here's my little guy. I'll show more of the finished designs soon. It's been great to combine listening to a bit of Monty Python with sketching and designing...are you looking at my bra? I've had some Vic and Bob on too.
