Animal Nouns

Here are a few images from the series of collective animal nouns I am making

I realise I haven't updated this blog in a very long time... So I think it is time for a few new posts and to give it somewhat of a face lift!

Here is a little sneak peak at some of the sketches I am currently working on. The theme is pairs of animals, such as the baboon and the bichon, the canary and the catapillar - some unlikely friendships!

Soaked

Here are a selection of Yorkshire postcards showing off some delightful local sayings and expressions.

Food book

Now my animal alphabet is done and dusted I am making a factual (ish) book on food. It will be aimed at adults but in a playful kiddie way like before.
Here are a few of my initial thought and images I have been playing around with - it has been a very sticky, sugary, greasy day!
