Kids' Tropical Prints

Artwork produced as part of a printing workshop with local high school children around a tropical island theme! I was really impressed with their work.  It really doesn't get more tropical than a parrot in sun glasses
that's for sure.

My Secret Sketchbook

This is my tiny tiny sketchbook!

It's really very small.  I made it from one of the tiny belt loop labels
that you get on a pair of jeans, random I know, but it just looked ideal.
It's perfect for drawing people while on the go, the small pages make me draw fast, and people don't seem to notice that I'm drawing them so much!

Food for Thought

A project titled 'Food for Thought', I made these images following interviews with chefs in my local restaurants about the links they had between food and childhood memories.

"Making this banana bread was always fun
because it brought your friends over to your house,
even if it was just to eat some sweets
and quote that famous line from Apu in The Simpsons,
'Oh halleluja! Our problems are solved. We have banana bread.'"

"My Granny used to make a marble cake every Christmas for my Dad,
and since she died we make it every year to remember her."

"Jelly and ice cream take me right back to my childhood,
to a time of fun, fun fairs and innocence."

"Weetabix with hot milk reminds me of when I wass younger, getting ready for school,
watching cartoons on the telly while my mum made me breakfast."

"When I was a little girl, my mum would make us drop scones and jam

using the strawberries we had picked from over the hill."

"Lasagne makes me happy because it's pasta!

Everytime I make it it reminds me of home in Italy."

Cold

A project on 'Cold', illustrating a variety of quotes.

"Nature abhors a virgin -

a frozen asset."

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop dead frozen from a tree
without ever having felt sorry for itself."
