I’ve been working on a new series of art prints, in time for Easter! These are my Little Mo portrait series.

I have drawn four portraits to start off this series: Bunny Mo, Tiger Mo, Duck and Mo and Hugging rabbits. Which is your favourite?

Today I’ve been cutting up the boards and packaging them up. The best part is signing the prints, makes me feel a little bit famous!

You can see more pics of me working here.

I love my pencil case from Pocket Carnival I keep some of my packaging tools in it. Penny inspires me all the time.

Two new designs: Little Mo and Rabbit Reader. All printed professionally on 100% recycled paper. I think they will make happy gifts for all occasions.

This concludes my bookplate series! You can find four different sets in my shop by searching ‘bookplates’. Enjoy!

These bookplates are all printed professionally on recycled paper with a flawless matte finish. I’m so happy with the print quality that I keep running my fingers on the stickers. I love them so much!

They are all handmade by me and packed into little packets with gift tag labels. Each pack comes with 6 sticker labels. Just peel and stick. Two designs to choose from in my shop: Garden Greens or Mouse Hugger. Enjoy:)

Magazine illustration

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Hello 3.30am and I’ve finally finished an epic artwork. A magazine illustration for the Mental Health Division, Department of Health WA.

I thought I’d share some before and after pictures with you. This was what I roughly sketched and sent to the client BEFORE:

And after colouring and touching up. This is AFTER:

As you can see, I tend to go crazy with details. And I also tend to experiment with as much colours as possible.

Sometimes it drives me nuts and it makes me wonder why I even bother. But sometimes I like the challenge.

I think this blonde sweetheart has sort of made up for the late nights:)

It makes a ding!

When you press the buttons, it makes the loudest ding!! It’s a beautiful sound and I can’t stop giggling like an idiot! It also drives big mo crazy when I play with it. But it’s cute though and I use it to store little bits and pieces like my mail stamps.

Staying indoors

It’s raining outside and it’s making pitter patter sounds on the rooftop. I am listening to Billie Holiday while ironing my mo bags.

Also finished packing another round of orders from my Special Deals page. I get excited when my art is travelling places.

Tag making

festive spirit

Christmas! It’s always a mad rush at this time of the year.

I’ve been making gift tags all afternoon…punching holes and hammering them to stock in my shop. You can also pick these gift tags up at Made On The Left this Sunday. I hope to see you all there.

gift wrap

Don’t forget that I gift wrap all my orders. If you’re buying for a birthday, a Christmas gift or just because, let me know what you’d like to write on the tags or note card.

Even if you’re buying something for yourself, it’s still nice to open it like a present, don’t you think?
