Making doodles before Cambridge

Its been a while since I updated my blog so I thought I'd post a couple of doodles I've made. I was really hoping I could fill up my sketchpad full of drawings before Cambridge starts next month- I'm both excited and unsure of what to expect:

Apple Knight

I have a few unfinished drawings in my old sketchpad, one of my drawings was of a new version of my website logo so I thought I'd finally sit down and dedicate some time to finishing it:

I just wanted to make more colour images, thought it might be nice to finally finish this design. Can't work out if I like the original black and white image or this one more.

Owl Tree Print

I haven't really updated my blog in a while so I thought it might be nice to share this photo from a satisfied customer! Its a A3 print of my Owl Tree drawing, only three prints have been made so far! It also looks like a few of my other former classmates have their work hanging on up on the wall too:

The Path

I've had this idea to make one really long drawing- setting it on a path which you follow it all the way to the end. I suspect it sounds a little bit like the yellow brick road from the wizard of Oz?
I've no idea if that can translate into a storybook or not but I was interested in seeing how many images I could make. (I've made more than the three I posted at least.)

It is still based on the Marie Vendawn character- though I was given a couple of other suggestions of what characters could follow the path.

Just something to do at least before I start my MA this September, though there's a couple of work related illustrations I could probably be working on.

Frames!

A photo from a satisfied customer! Its not a copy either- but a drawing I made on a napkin when I was sitting in the cafe sometime last year. This strange looking rocket piggy is now living in Canada.

I should probably mention that I am willing to sell prints or accept commissions. I've already drawn images for small business's, made designs for wedding invitations and worked with the graphic design team at the Southampton Council. So if you are interested, please feel free to contact me via my website!

And these two frames are finally hanging up on my wall! (thanks Dad!)

Late Night TV

Still want to use this character.... Its fun to draw him.

The North

Thought I'd put up some drawings and photos from my time up North, I spent a few days with my friend Daniel who I haven't really seen since graduation last year so it was nice to see him again.

Me and Daniel did speak a little bit about doing a project together. Something involving a viking. In my own version of the story I wanted a little viking boy to go on a hunt for a werewolf. I haven't quite figured it out yet in my head.

I also took a few photos of some the places I went to. I really liked going to Whitby.

And I managed to finish some of my own projects, my rejected octopus from the Southampton museum.

And just some drawings I made whenever I managed to sit down and think.

I think Daniel seemed to know quite a bit about the local history- one that stood out in particular was the hanging of a monkey who was believed to be a french spy. So I made a quick Monkey spy on the train home from Newcastle.
