Inspiring Summer Gardens

A bit of summer inspiration today! It's a welcome change to be working on wedding and flowery designs at this time of year.... usually it's more Christmas work!

Surtex 2010

Surtex is where artists and designers promote their work to publishers, manufacturers and retailers. Clients from all around the world gather in New York to preview, purchase and license the latest brands and trends. It's on from 16th - 18th May at the Javits Center, New York. My lovely agent Pure Illustration Ltd will be there at booth # 620, with an array of new work ready to tempt the buyers!!

New designs licensed for Cross Stitch

A couple of new designs have been licensed for cross stitch....

As well as Coco Cat above, there is also a Snowman design, ready for that "C" word a few months away!!!

How Long....?

I know I deserve to have my wrists slapped, as it's been weeks since I last posted!! Work has been hectic throughout the summer holidays... and of course having to entertain Coco! I have to admit, she is a superstar at entertaining herself (not always so great at the clearing up afterwards!) so although work has been manic, I don't think Coco felt too neglected!

I can't post up much about my busy schedule, but here are a couple of sketch previews from 2 of my recent jobs... to whet your appetite! There will be more news later in the year, and early in 2010!

Thanks for the teachers

It's that time of year again when we like to say a BIG thank you to Chloe's teacher and teaching assistants for all the effort they have put in throughout the school terms. So here are 3 little hand-painted "Ruffles Puppy" Thank You cards which we will attach to their pressies....
