These are my first attempts at patterned illustrations. Each one to a different theme with lots of random placing, resizing, flipping and colour changing.

new images

Posted on Monday 2 March 2009

I have been very busy drawing many new images on 15 different themes. As you can probably guess this one’s on recycling and the environment.  It has been such a fun project and I look forward to showing you more about it later in the month.

Tomorrow is another high fire danger day and the warnings are out and many schools are closing for the day.

Christmas picture

Posted on Thursday 18 December 2008

A nice little Christmas picture from Jessie (aged10).

Don’t think there will be any snow here on Christmas day though. Usually it’s hot lunches on hot days, barbeques and swims at the beach or in backyard pools. Boxing day will bring plenty of sporting events to watch like tennis and cricket.
