Cat's Chameleon

A Chameleon for my Best Friend who loves Pascal from "Tangled".

Coventry Transport Museum

Today myself and Stephen went to the Coventry Transport Museum to do some sketching. This museum is one of the best things in Coventry for me and as it was once the hub of car manufacture in Britain it gives you not only a history of cars but also of the city itself, which is quite nice. Here are a few drawings from today, I think you'll agree that I need some practise but I had lots of fun and drawing old cars is definately better than bicycles.

Une Nuit Loin D'ici - Julia Wauters

During my trip to London last week I visited the Nobrow shop and bought this beautiful book by Julia Wauters. Slightly unfortunate for me it's in French and my French has deteriorated over the past 5 years but I know as much as the title is: "One Night, Not Far From Here" and it talks about animals in different areas of the world. It's a lovely book, I especially love the sloth.

Robert Best

So I was looking at Barbie Dolls for inspiration on this website. And whilst trawlling through the different poses and outfits and expressions of varying models I came across the concept work by Robert Best and was quite simply blown away because I previously had not thought about Barbie having fashion illustrations. It's obvious now that I've seen it and I definately feel a little silly but to make it better I shall just look at Best's lovely work.

All Quiet On the Western Front

On Monday my sister dropped by to visit me here in Carlisle, and we visited the second hand bookshop. I always love to visit this bookshop and usually I come away at least one or two items and this time was no different. This time I found a beautiful folio society book for £12. All Quiet on the Western Front written by Eric Maria Remarque and illustrated by Charles Keeping.

Myoe Win Aung

Recently I've been playing with inks and watercolours, it seems I had forgotten just how much fun they were. I just came across the stunning work of Myoe Win Aung, these are absolutely beautiful watercolours and I am truly very envious of his skill. My favourite thing about his work is how he sets the mood with colour, these paintings leap off the screen at me. I'd love to own one.
