How long has it been since I last blogged?! Long enough for the tiny little dog in the last post to have grown to the size of a medium hippopotamus!
Amongst other things I've been working on, I finally got round to building the website that I've been talking about for ages. And with a new website, comes new business cards! What do you think of portrait business cards instead of the usual landscape? The card design is still a work in progress until I finalise my new domain name, but hopefully that will all happen soon.
I also got back into markets after a long break with a few other Digital Art students at The Lighthouse Easter market in Glasgow! Speaking of The Lighthouse, we're also holding a group exhibition there next month. I'll put up some details a little bit closer to the time, maybe with a sneak preview of my animation which is about a fox who eats sausages, but can't decide what to wear! It seemed like a good idea for an animation at the time...
Just to quickly let you all know that I've finally uploaded the new site! I tried hard to make it a yellow based site, but like every website I've ever built, it gradually became pink and grey! I just can't help myself.

Well since my last blog post, I haven't done much in the way of illustrating! Mainly because I was finishing up some uni work, and also, because we now have a little pest to look after. Her name is Violet, and I think she might just be the subject of an illustration some time soon.
Today, inbetween eating hundreds of white chocolate cookies and drinking so much Diet Irn Bru that I think I might be turning slightly orange, I managed to list some new items in my Folksy shop.
As well as a whole load of other rubbish I hoard, I also have an excellent collection of maneki neko ornaments. More commonly seen in Chinese takeaways, I have a whole host of lucky cats that I rely on to bring me wealth and fortune! I've got white cats, gold cats, black cats, cats that move, fat cats, scowling cats... allsorts really.
Recently, I've been frantically trying to write about why you shouldn't use a cat to make a painting, because that's the topic I chose for my dissertation at uni! Whilst I slightly regret my choice of subject now, I am more than delighted that it's now all handed in, and it's pretty much officially, the summer holidays. It'll be good to have some more time to spend on my own ideas for drawings rather than coursework drawings, and something I'm looking forward to is doing some lino printing.
