Happy Halloween!

A little Halloween treat, and another Daily__Doodle

I wish I'd had more time to spend on it but hopefully I'll get some time to return to it later.

Happy Halloween!

We won't work for peanuts...

Fantastic Mr. Fox

To correspond with the grand opening of the House of Illustration's permanent home, and their first exhibit Quentin Blake: Inside Stories, the Daily__Doodle had a Quentin Blake themed week.  I still haven't got round to doing a 'Mathilda' but I managed to find time for a 'Fantastic Mr. Fox.'  It's a book I remember fondly, so fondly that I actually gave my copy away to impress its greatness upon someone else.

James and the Giant Peach

Just a little update.  In the midst of drawing many a ridiculous thing, I did this as a Daily__Doodle the other other day.  I particularly enjoy the randomness of the subject matters they present.  I end up drawing things I'd never even consider.  This is one I might return to.  

Pigs in Blankets

Apologies for not posting anything for the longest time, I didn't realise I'd been gone so long.  I've spent a LOT of time drawing pandas and dinosaurs, and with my thinking cap firmly on but not much in the way of finished artwork.  So instead we have one of my daily doodles.   

Daily__Doodle are some fabulous twitter folks who post topics to be doodled, it's all very self-explanatory but it's a great way to discover things you never knew you liked to draw, and to generate ideas.  

This is my post for pigs in blankets.

Elephants and Crocs

I've spent some time this week printing some more of these two.  

Harumph!

Yippee!

This one is a warning to us all.  Never trust anything a monkey tells you.

Elephant and Croc return

This is an image I've been playing with for a day or two with some old characters.
Although I was wisely asked 'what happens when the elephant stands on the anthill?'
I remain optimistic.
