What is Wensdi? - Friday, work in progress continued!

Today started off in a not so pleasant way. Having only been up five minutes, not even had my first coffee of the day, I read an email that got me so angry and annoyed. I had a little bit of a huge tantrum.

I sat sulking for about ten minutes, drank my coffee and looked over at this piece of artwork and my tantrum subsided. I'm so excited to see this piece done that I'm not going to let any silly people distract me.

And so, I've been working on this for the last few hours, I stopped because me legs went numb from sitting in the same position without moving for so long. I used the opportunity to update the work in progress. 

 Look at how pretty she is starting to look!

What is Wensdi? - Thursday Work in progress continued.

Ah some more pencil detail added to the work. Who guessed there would be a frog in the mouth? I'm really enjoying this piece at the moment and cant wait to get to the chest area where this lovely lady has a collection of frogs and lily pad flowers adorning her lovely little body.

I have a friend who loves my artwork, I'm not too sure she will love this, as she has a bit of a fear of frogs. 

What is Wensdi? - Friday, and another piece is finished! :O

Can you believe it? Another piece finished, it's like when you're inspired you get stuff done... 

So what do ya'll think? Come on share your thoughts :D 

Enjoy.

What is Wensdi? - Monday!

I haven't had time to draw the past few weeks, the lack of time is rather sad indeed! I do however have an old piece that I've tried to share with everyone before but I didn't have a very good camera so I never had a very good visual of it. However, now I have a new camera and a nice visual to show the work. 

I love the concept of this piece, but I can see A LOT of room for improvement and I would like to experiment more with this style of creation to see what I could come up with now. This piece is like 2 years old I feel I have vastly improved since then. 

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? - Wednesday's!

I think everyone should make this pattern their facebook cover pic or their desktop background pics. NOW

What is Wensdi? - Tuesday

Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, where have you been? You've been to london... To visit the Queen?

No Wensdi, I went to London To find this most awesome jumper which I wear today! Only I didn't go to London and I didn't get my jumper from anywhere, you see YOU were the one who made me and my jumper and now I can never deny the creation of my existence. Thanks.


Enjoy :D

What is Wensdi? - Monday, by Jove she actually came back like she said she would!

As promised I have returnethed... AND WITH CATS IN JUMPERS!!!

Well Cat in Jumper, I'm not going to over load you with these, they are a delicacy that need to be enjoyed in the right way!

Oh my, indeed! Is this not the most amazing sight to behold?

This is just a sketch from my sketchbook, I have aspirations to fill the whole of this A6 sketchbook with cats in jumpers. 

Why, I hear you ask? Because I can, because I bloody well want to and WHO DOESN'T LOVE A CAT IN A JUMPER?

You see, I love cats, but I am allergic to them, and this is one of the saddest things to ever happen to a human born to the planet earth, trust me! So to vent my frustrations I sit and draw cats in jumpers and only occasionally watch videos on youtube.

Ha! So Yeah come back for more cats in jumpers and other doodles and witterings.

Enjoy.

What is Wensdi? - Tuesday's it's pancake day...

It's pancake day today, I'm not going to be having pancakes though as I don't really like them unless they're made by someone else. So maybe it's the making pancakes I don't like? Nah pretty sure it's because every time I make them they aren't particularly nice and are usually rubbery.

Anyway, I have some nice pieces to share today. I have been working on some bigger pattern girls at A3 size, there can be a lot more detail put into the pattern, but I think I need to jig about with scaling pattern slightly if I was to work bigger still.

Please click on them to get a bigger version to appreciate the detail of the pattern.

I have also been working on some group piece's They're also done on A3 but the girls are done at a much smaller scale. So I've had to make separate versions of them so they can be appreciated properly on a screen.

Again please click on them to get a better view.

If you right hand click and open in a new tab you can zoom in and see much better.

What is Wensdi? - It's been snowing ?

Not that there has been much evidence of it here in Preston! Just rain, lots and lots of rain, so here's a snowy scene to make up for it.

What is Wensdi? - Monday, Monday.

So, have you all been waiting to see what I have in store for you today? It's exciting waiting for something isn't it?! 

NO! No it isn't, I hate surprises and I hate anticipation, so I will delay you no longer.  

I would like to Introduce Egor :D.

He's Russian and likes collecting dead animals they're the only things that really talk to him these days, ever since he was let out of 'St. Margaret's home of the lost minds' where he learned he would be happier and safer if he just avoided as many people as possible.


I want to just say something totally unrelated to this post, This morning I opened my laptop and Kenny Rogers starts singing "Ruby, don't take your love to town" to me. It was quite nice being serenaded by my laptop first thing in the morning, however I don't like it's choice of song, as I am now worried that my laptop thinks I am going out to have fun with other laptops and it may plan to kill me so I don't leave it....

Or its warning me that, that's what my old laptop is thinking as I haven't actually turned my old laptop on since I got this one for Christmas. Hmm, anyway hope you all enjoy EGOR!

Umm, a little late maybe?

I wasn't going to post anything today, but these lil guys make me laugh and I won't have the chance to show them till the end of this year if I wait any longer. So here's a silly idea I had for a Christmas card design.
