TART AND HORSE

Today: finished off this horse-based illustration while watching two episodes of Game of Thrones (because people keep telling me it's good, so I thought I should get around to watching it), did a bit more folio shuffling around, and successfully made my first ever lemon tart (a trial run for taking to my sister's on Christmas day). All in all a reasonably productive day.

 

Hopefully I can get another couple of drawings done before the end of the week. Possibly.

MOUNTAIN PORTAL

 

Currently working on this, intended as a gift: a mountain-portal-window thing. Looks like today is going to filled with inking around tiny little circles of matter.

A PORTFOLIO-THING

It's taken a while to get around to doing, but I finally started putting together a portfolio-thing. I should probably finish putting that together, shouldn't I?

SELF

Side note: that dragon is there by accident - it's been lurking in my pile of Stuff I'm Working on and happened to be lying underneath at that time, although now I'm kind of thinking of somehow incorporating the act of drawing dragons...

MAPPING LEGBA

Only a few more drawings to go for this current book-thing. I think I finally managed to figure out how to tackle this particular character (based on Legba). He kind of evaded me for a little while. And here's my laptop being used as a lightbox for a bit of resizing, because I'm all technical like that.

LIGHTHOUSE

Here's a terrible iPod photo of a lighthouse I was working on this week.

And here's the finished piece, given to my sister and her husband on their wedding day (scanned in two parts, so please excuse the join). I asked her whether she wanted a toaster or a really ugly vase, and she said neither, so this is what they got instead.
