My favourite T-shirt


I LOVE this T-shirt, it's my very favourite. I bought it at a super-cheap import shop for $6. But it is shrinking with every wash. I thought I would draw it before it wears out. Pen and coloured pencil.

Almost Me


Self portraits, regardless of technical flaws, are always confronting and somewhat revealing - especially when you rediscover them down the track. I feel like my life is entering a new phase and I wanted a record of its beginning, or perhaps, I am really recording the end of the old. Sketched yesterday, from the mirror. HB pencil in sketchbook.

Monday Artday - bunny


A few weeks ago when I reached 100 daily drawings I rewarded myself by requesting to join the collaborative illustration blog Monday Artday and -hooray! - I was accepted. I am truly honoured to have the opprtunity to participate in a site so filled with skill and talent. However, life and self-doubt interfered and it has taken me some time to work up the courage to tackle one of their challenges. This week's challenge is 'bunny', right on time for Easter, and here is my submission, titled 'Stay Close' in watercolour and pastel on yellow ground.
