Birthday fairy picture

 

It's that time of year again. With my daughter's birthday looming, she decided to keep with the Disney theme like last year and chose Tinkerbell and Periwinkle for her wall.

This one's a little easier than last time as before, she went over board with the number of princesses. It was hard to cram them altogether into one picture. 



 

 

Now to go make the figurines for the cake.... Humph! (why can't it be demons and dragons)



Mythical Creatures from the Orient

I had to take a break from the mma caricatures recently. I had a sudden request from Brian (fat boy with the bomb author) to do some work for him and when that was over it was time for a quick holiday in Wales which was really nice and the weather was fantastic.

Since returning I'd been getting a portfolio together for the London book fair, which I went to on Wednesday. The place, Olympia, was huge and I bumped into an illustrator friend of mine and we visited the exhibitions together and made new friends. It feels a lot less daunting when in a group.

Now back and getting ... ahem... organised, I thought I would pin up a couple of line drawings.

 

The dragon was drawn a while ago and I turned it into a water colour that can be seen from a previous blog entry. The second, although more recent, is a follow up on a similar theme concerning oriental myths.

Monkey annoying the kylin

 

I know the kylin is supposed to have hooves and a deer body type but I wanted to give it claws and a more powerful look. I'll try and complete the set when I can.
