Making a banner!

I wanted to change my blog title and the banner for ages! (sorry it's so sudden) So I finally started to get on with it, I showed the process on twitter and got some ideas what to put in my illustration.

How I started...

Added chicken legs...

Requests from

@uberkraaft: A diamond

@MissIllustrator: A book

@mattellero: Some sort of animal- a bird or a fox

are added...

@whisk82: A basket of laundry and a washing machine

@shad_0: Super samurai hamster

are added...

@abigaildaker: A boat or a ship

@lesleybarnes: An eagle

are added...

@iamanoctopus: AN OCTOPUS

@daria_h: A flying chair

@r_hakim: Art nouveau frame

is added...

and I just carried on drawing and this is how it's done!
Now I'm going to polish this off and transform it into a banner somehow. :)

Holly Fulton

I illustrated some Holly Fulton's beautiful dress... for Amelia's magazine! :)

Amazing posts!

Lovely Lesley Barnes sent me this gorgeous card a while back, I love how beautiful the people she draws are! Such a fun card to look at :)

Also, sweet Emma Cowley did an amazing give away and I got so many illustrated treats. :D

I did a feature on her recently on Illustration Rally blog so if you are interested, read here!

(My camera kept thinking this one has a face!)
