fashion illustration for my water project.

Observational drawing of a hornet. 

A half-finished painting of an imaginary landscape. I definitely need more practice painting trees.

The Pompom tree

Whenever I go outside I often bump into one of these tiny iridescent green bugs.

Intaglio print of a rhododendron forest near where I used to live. One of the most beautiful places I know, Some of these trees are over a hundred years old and MASSIVE. If you go down there in early summer when all the flowers are out it takes your breath away <3 This was done with a piece of cardboard wrapped in parcel tape.

Messing around with mediums. This is a Photocopy of some random objects like a woolly pompom, and bits of bark, which I painted over with procean dye, indian ink and acrylic. I also made some little leaf stamps out of a wine cork. endless fun :)

My final project for my foundation Course three years ago. I chose to illustrate The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, using mono-prints and hand cut paper. Looking back on it now I wish I had added more layers to give them more depth, but hey you live and learn. 

Lemur doodles. I love lemurs, especially the ring tailed lemurs. They’re always pranking each other :L
