Hurry up Summer!

This horrible cold miserable Spring needs to hurry up and pass to some lovely Summer weather! Stat!

Round and round and round we go...

Keeping on the wildlife theme (which I tend to do quite a lot!) here's a pattern I created a while back. Quite a simple process of doing a quartered image, and then rotating it round. I hope to do more of these soon! :D

Bzzz...

Just a simple bumblebee to distract me from the stresses of a manic Monday. A quick sketch drawn on my lunch-break that I actually had a bit of spare time to do something with! Have a good week all :)

'Hitched' - Illustration Friday

An ode to caravan lovers everywhere. My childhood was full of weekends away in our trusty caravan, we'd hitch it onto the car and travel to different parts of England, Scotland, Wales and sometimes even France! It's one of the best ways to escape and get back to nature and I miss it! 

'Jump' - Illustration Friday

Origami is a love of mine, and whenever I'm bored I find myself folding paper into all kinds of shapes. For this weeks topic 'Jump' I thought of these origami frogs that jump if you press on their backs, so made a couple and played with them trying to get them into a bowl. It was pretty damn hard! Their cool shapes made me compelled to draw them, and this is where this illo came from. A strange process to get to an image, but I like its simplicity :) It also harks back to a piece I did a million years ago (at least it seems like it!) which you can see here: http://louisetaylordrawings.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/cranes-dilemma.html 

Red-fish

This believe it or not started as a doodle, but as I added more to it I felt it becoming a nice little image. A recent observation by a friend was I don't use any red in my work, so hopefully this is enough red for him!

hectic week!

My schedule at the moment seems to be crammed full of stuff, but unfortunately it's not art work! This is the only piece I've managed to finish this week, chameleons are ridiculously cute and they tend to dance a fair bit too given the opportunity. If I wasn't such a girl about insects I'd keep one myself but they eat live crickets... not in my house thanks!

'spent' - illustration friday

as most of my time recently is spent crocheting, what better than to have it the subject of this weeks illustration friday?
in particular my mum's purple scarf birthday present took me forever to do, but she was so happy with it it was worth it!

some colourful jellyfish!

still haven't had time to do my plan of lots of these... but here they are in some pretty pinks :)
