DaWanda finds

Yesterday I came across another site for selling handmade goods called 'DaWanda' its a German based site, and i came across so great new interesting things, I think I might eventually set up a shop on it. Everything is sold in euros and some people leave comments in German or French, i think its rad! This purse was my fav find so far see here

Matchbox birdie

These little birdies are just the sweetest little things! click here
such gorgeous hand made stuff, they have no purpose really they just look pretty.
'These little weenie matchbox tweeters are crafted with great love and care from recycled and new materials. Their little home was once part of an old man's matchbox collection and as such is a rare little vintage treat in itself.
Each matchbox tweeter is delivered to you hidden away in it's little nest, but can be taken out to stand all on its own little wire legs!'
LOVE IT!

Started drawing today

I finally gotta around to doing some drawing today, and this is the result. I drew it with pen, ink and pencil, then scanned it in, and added colour and texture of photoshop. I got the pose for the girl out of an Italian Vogue magazine. Cant wait to do more!!

maxi vs. mini

I went to the shops on the weekend and noticed all
the spring stock had come into the stores. Everything
was so bright and colourful! One thing i picked up on
as i looked around was the hem length for this season.
It is either really short, a sort of 60's look about it, or floor
length, which i haven't seen in a long time.

now selling prints!!

After a week or so of producing nothing for etsy I have finally added some prints to my shop. I had been so busy with flash animations that I hadn't been making anything to sell.
This is my art work which i am now selling as prints on etsy. I intend to do some more designs soon but these are the ones Ive started off with.
