The Bear

A little finger puppet that I couldn't bear to part with. I had such lovely memories of the bear, the bear, the bear.... that's what we called him whenever we had a story with him in it. I tried to capture the happiness of the moments we shared with him.

Straight from the camera, no textures just a few colour adjustments.

All images my own. Edited with Photoshop.

The Woods at Night

A little magic on a grey day. This was another experiment. Vector graphics aren't my thing normally, but I thought sometimes it's good to do something outside your comfort zone. This was inspired by the opening screen for Once Upon a Time and then it turned into something else and I think there's more where this came from. I have already started on "The Woods at Sunset".

I started off with vector graphics for the trees (drawn in Photshop and edited in Illustrator), then I took them back into Photoshop and added colours, textures, the water for the little fish to swim in and the fish themselves. The fish are vintage images which I cut out (digitally) and added into the image. Then I played around with it to add all the magic. ;-)

All images/textures/brushes my own, public domain or bought. Edited with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).
