Found those very pretty plants – no idea what they are, but think they could have SO many applications in this series…
Daisy fairy
There are really sweet wild daisies here in Crete – after Poppy dancer, here’s Daisy Fairy…
Poppy dancer
In Crete on holiday, number 1 activity with the kids is definitely picking up wildflowers… They are so fragile and temporary, yet so full of intense colours and soft delicate curves, it made me want to record them in drawing…
Nick Cat and the Bad Kitties (homage to Nick Cave)
So many reasons to continue the cat covers with Nick Cave – the red white and black cover, the germanic influence, trying to score tickets last year and failing twice, then winning entry to an exclusive gig at Koko in Camden that just blew my […]
Tomcat Waits – Clawing time (Homage to Tom Waits)
Like Parallel Felines, the name of the album guided this choice. The fact that it’s a blinder of an amazing album which turns me into a purring machine did also have some bearing in the decision. I never thought the lines and shapes would amount […]
Purrdie – Parallel Felines (Homage to Blondie)
And so in the land of black, white and red, there was Blondie (see also Kraftwerk and Nick Cave). And although I laboured the pun on the band name, Parallel Felines was just too obvious not to try and shoehorn that one in. I’ve already […]
Blur becomes Purr – Julian Opie style
My good friend Billie suggested this one – so obvious!!! I thought this would be such an easy one to do, and by all accounts, oh my, how wrong was I…. Simplicity is indeed very hard to achieve. Woo HOO! Find the cat cover prints for sale […]
Blondie paper dolls
OK, so I clearly love Blondie, anybody’s got a problem with this ultra iconic, super cool, still enduring amazing combo? Not me. Blondie rules. And so it is only just that they should be represented in paper dolls format. Not that it’s the first time either.
Fantasy league – Psapp
The beauty of illustration is that it basically opens up whole WORLDS to the imagination. So let’s say that you have a serious Doctor Who obsession, or your gran has always wanted to be Princess Leia in her golden bikini, then, why not make it […]
Freddie Mercury and the Flemings
This was such a fun commission to do… Meet the Flemings! This was a 40th birthday present and the brief was to include something about Queen and postcards, as Tom is an avid poster and fan of the band. 2 year old Enuka loves buzz […]
Family coats of arms!
Woke up the other day thinking of dynasties to come and thought about coats of arms – how it was a shame not to have something to commemorate what makes a family unique. And then it was obvious, a modern version was what was needed! […]
The Specials paper dolls
In the genesis according to Karuski, first came paperdolls. I used to draw a lot as a child/ teenager, but never trained and as other life things took over, the drawing stopped. In fact, it stopped for twenty years. Then motherhood […]
