*NEW* Website!
Hooray! At last I’ve managed to give my website a complete overhaul to include lettering alongside my illustration work. I’m so much happier with the look and feel of my site now :)

Fresh n Fruity!
Recently I’ve been so caught up with hand lettering (my Instagram is proof of this) that I feel I’ve neglected my illustration and I wanted to put a stop to it… by mixing them both together. I couldn’t stop lettering all together! Give me a break! So anyway, to add a splash of colour to this dismal winter we’ve all been having in the northern hemisphere things got a little bit fruity!
All are available as prints from my online store (just click the images). They’re also available as a variety of lovely gifts…
Just click the images! :)

Day of the Dead
Recently I’ve had a major hand lettering explosion – I’m slightly addicted (as you can see from my instagram – blog post coming soon) so I decided to mix it in with some illustration and create a little something for Dia de Muertos as I *love* the imagery associated with it :)
I thought the skulls would make an awesome pattern so I decided to throw that in too…
Both are available as prints, etc from my online shop (click the images). I am SUPER pleased with how these turned out. Creating stuff like this makes me so excited and happy!
You may also notice I’ve added a signature to these pieces. After lots and LOTS of experiments I’ve finally settled on a nice looking signature to put on my prints and illustrations (a standard copyright line is far too dry). Here’s a close-up; it is, of course, hand lettered :)
Fun times! I love what I do for a living sometimes (most times) :D

A quick bit of lunchtime typography. This has been rattling around in my brain for a while :)

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows…
A lovely new print based on the song by Lesley Gore. I fancied playing around with some type and I watched the episode of the Simpsons where this song features recently so the lyrics have been going around my head :P

Perfect Christmas present!

Lovely Lovely
Let me take a moment to blow the dust off…
There! Long time no see WordPress; a new job and life in general get in the way sometimes! Anyhooo, on with the show.
I had a random urge to play around with the word “lovely” this afternoon. Here is the result:
I have a thing for white outlines with shadow :-) The pattern was free from the depths of the interweb but I knocked the argyle up in illustrator. Altogether it took less than an hour.
Stay tuned folks! I’ve got lots of personal projects in the works…..too many really considering I’m fully employed. Ahwell, who needs sleep, eh?
