enough with the dinosaurs already jeeze

Series 4 and 5 of my little dinosaur canvases are finished and that's it! I am done. No more dinosaurs.Series 4 stars Dimetrodon, Dimorphodon, Oviraptor and Diplocaulus.Series 5, here, stars Protoceratops, Spinosaurus, Ichthyosaurus and Dilophosaurus. The dilophosaurus, I was a little disappointed to find out, did not have huge neck frills or spit acid out of its mouth like in Jurassic Park, but was still pretty rad anyway.

As usual, these are all up on the ol' Etsy.

In other news, I got started on my submission for The Sketchbook Project 2012. This year, I got Heroes and Villains as my theme. Here's a little sneak preview:

new designers photos, etsy

Hello darlings. Today I thought I'd share with you some photos taken by Katie and Leila from our time at New Designers.

Driving down and setting up:

My bit:
and here we are, working hard with as much tact and professionalism as we can muster:
Part of a 2-day long jam session with the Illustration team from Swansea Met:
We had fun.

I should also mention that my Etsy shop now has things on it! It didn't have things on it but now it does. I will be adding more things to it when I have more things to add to it. We'll be running some more local fundraising shows soon to help pay back our loan for the New Designers fees, so I'll want to have as much work available for sale as possible.

website's up!

Finally got myself a proper portfolio site, didn't I!

That'll be for more professional purposes and I'll likely only update it a couple of times a year with new stuff. I'll still be updating this blog regularly with my usual sketchy rubbish and informal ramblings, of course!
