The Woods in Winter

Created using both Illustrator and Photoshop, bought resources and my own illustrations and photography. 

Woods are lovely never mind the time of year. This was my take on a Snow White wood where the prince never came to rescue Snow White. Instead red apples grew where she fell asleep in her glass coffin. 

Sometimes life doesn't work out the way you hoped.

Available as prints, phone and tablet cases, mugs and travel mugs, wall hangings and shower curtains, cushions and various bags and pouches, duvet covers and stationary cards. Oh and mouse mats. :D Have a ball. Have a set. :D

Fragile (three feathers)

The last in the current feather series. Three mixed feathers shattered. There's something fragile about feathers and birds, maybe it's the hollow bones that allow them to fly. Not sure but I always think of birds as being fragile. Maybe not emus. LOL

This is a combo of lots of textures and my own photograph, edited and mixed up in Photoshop.

Check out the other three feather images in this series in the previous posts.

Still with the feather theme. Five crow feathers in a line made me think of five ravens. There's a story in there somewhere. :D

This is a combo of lots of textures and my own photograph, edited and mixed up in Photoshop.

There is one more to come in the next few days. Available on all sorts of merchandise in the usual outlets - check the links on the right - Redbubble, Society6, Design by Humans, Artflakes, etc. :D

Writer's needs special feathers, also called quills. Sometimes it may appear as if the ink they use is in fact heart blood.

 This is a combo of lots of textures and vintage public domain images plus my own photograph, edited and mixed up in Photoshop.

There are two more to come in the next few days. In the meanwhile this one is available as prints and other merchandise in the usual outlets. :D

I wanted to play with some of my new fonts and some of the cool vector graphic sets I just bought and a couple of vintage illustrations. The fonts are (from top to bottom): Times New Yorker, Appendix3, Dyers Eve and Charlemagne, and  18thCentury. All combined and coloured in a played around with in Photoshop. :-)

As per usual I used various sources for the vintage images within the picture including Vintage Printable and Graphics Fairy. I am still not quite sure where I was going with it myself. It's about age and time and the way we slide through them and the way they affect us mostly. Or maybe something else entirely. :-)

Another digital collage of images from various (vintage) resources, including some I bought, some which are in the public domain and some from The Graphics Fairy, Vintage Printable and Karen's Whimsy. I added my own flair and and imagination and a little magic to make this.

Turning Japanese was inspired by the wonderful image of the kimono and the song of the same name by The Vapours. I've always loved the Japanese minimalist approach to art and this is truly minimalist for me.
