I had an idea to create illustrations of fruit set in autumn 2017, and have been working on the realization of this idea throughout February/March 2018. In all, I have created 11 illustrations: apple, apricot, banana, cherry, grape, lemon, orange, pear, plum, tomato, watermelon. Using rapidograph to form the shape, I am coloring my works digitally in Adobe Photoshop. Here is an apricot!
May 2019 was a month that I focused on collaging my own handmade paper together to create illustrations. I also started trying out gouache, to mixed results. It's a skill I intend to learn!
The other day I saw a photograph of a man in a handmade costume of a frog with a huge pack of cigarettes on his back and holding a cigarette.
Then I tried to find it again and I am coming up blank. So blank as a a matter of fact, that now I am not even sure if I didn't see it in a dream.
If you have seen this photo, let me know!

I have thought of a design already,a wisecracking,fun loving marionette imp who loves dancing and singing and playing tricks.he helps Aldo become a better gymnast and also helps him with his self esteem issues. I was going to give him horns then I thought not all imps have them I might remove his tail too.inspiration for his face https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/wall-decorations/wall-mounted-sculptures/italian-modern-venetian-handmade-ceramic-white-carnival-mask-italy/id-f_26511762/ Costume inspiration https://sccnola.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/femalejester.jpg
I've recently made a card display for my cards and prints at an art space I'm exhibiting in for a while. Had to doodle the back, I couldn't not the doodle the back, which I think adds to the charm of my display being handmade and selling my merch... There's a HOW TO post on my blog if you fancy giving it a go yourself...
Every couple of months, I turn a bunch of my doodles or rough mini sketches into stickers. I draw them directly onto sticker paper and seal them with bookbinding foil. These foxes will be Christmas presents.
