What is Wensdi? - Tuesday

Today I will mainly be playing out in the sun and drawing lots of silly things with The Ginger one (cosmosandcrayons) and The Plaskett one (plaskettanimations)!!! 

This should be lots of fun and hopefully we will all have lots of marvelous goodies to share with you when we get back. However failing that, we might just get fat off falafel burritos and splodge for the rest of the day lazing away in the sun. 

See you soon :D

What is Wensdi? - Another Monday, no cats - PROMISE!

So, I'm working on redesigning my website and blog to make them a bit more fun and "Wensdi" and a bit less severely boring and clinical looking. Therefore, I have spent today working out a look and feel I want it to have, and have come up with a banner design. I did the initial design by hand.

This is the artwork in its basic unedited scan. I'm very good at drawing aren't I?



This is the artwork after some quick editing and playing around with the idea of adding colour to cheeks, I am undecided as to whether I like it or not.



This is the artwork after I using the Live trace tool on Illustrator, usually live trace destroys all the detail I have put into the illustrations but this time I think it looks quite nice! 

I have just decided I quite like the pink cheeks and will continue to play around and see what I come up with. I really would love to know what anyone thinks about this design so let me know your thoughts.

What is Wensdi? - Meowday!

Meow, meow, meow!! Cats Galore!




 Enjoy :D

What is Wensdi ? - Sunday.

Hello all!

Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for more cats in jumpers I will be uploading quite a few. I don't have the time to be uploading one every day or every other day anymore as I have decided that I actually need to get a life and so will therefore be concentrating on drawing other animals in jumpers hahaha! 

I am of course joking, like I said previously I aim to fill a sketchbook and I will, but It will be a weekly update rather than a daily, as I do have real artwork and illustrations to be working on which will also be uploaded along with works in progress. Maybe if you're all nice I might do a detailed work in progress so you can see how my Illustrations develop. 

:D Happy Sunday all and see you tomorrow!

What is Wensdi? - Friday... Another cat in a jumper day!!! Oh, how unexpected...

I had planned to select an awesome and obviously genius poem I wrote as a teenager to assist the cat, but upon reading them and dying several times from cringe. I have decided that they should stay hidden away in the diary of teenage horror. Seriously, SO SO SOOOO BAD! 

Sadly, that means that you only get to see this rather splendid cat all alone and unaccompanied by the awful wittering's of a 17 year old me, which actually you should be seriously thankful for!




Enjoy! :D

What is Wensdi? - Today

You know when you are bored and you start to look through old stuff and laugh at all the mad shiz you've collected and made over the years? 

I discovered this poem I wrote in 2006, I was 19 then (wow that was long ago), it's completely ridiculous I literally have no idea what it was I was trying to say or why I wrote it. 

Tormented carpet pieces,
lay stripped and torn,
foot worn and tired from use.
Carpet old, has no purpose
stripped of all dignity and pride,
carpet left, tossed aside.
No respect, no retirement party.
Carpet job done, left outside.
Cut in pieces, left out to decompose,
it's life was long, a job well done.
Now forgotten, with no praise at all.
Tormented carpet pieces,
lay scattered in despair.

If anyone out there would like to tell me what the hell they think I was talking about I'd love to hear what your interpretations are!  It can't simply be that I was feeling sorry for a carpet can it?
Enjoy.
