A productive day off...

Today is my day off, so I feel I should do something productive with it! And seems we have had a non-existent Summer at the moment, going outside doesn't seem that appealing...so I've got my sketchbook, pencils, pens, scissors and patterned papers at the ready instead!

Greetings Cards and Gift Wrap

Christmas Cards

These are designs I came up with for Christmas cards last year. I sold these cards at a local vintage market a few weeks before Christmas. I later went on to sell a bulk of them to my local John Lewis in Cardiff, for them to give as a thank you to adjoining business' with the company for the year.

Personal Freelance Projects

Here are two personal creations I made for friends to give as gifts for two seperate occassions. The first was to mark the christening of a friends lovely little boy, while the second was as a Wedding gift to mark the special day.

Beauty and the Beast

This is my own adaptationof the classic tale, 'Beauty and the Beast'. It was for a competition created by Watermark Publishing.

Happy Families

These are my own version of the popular card game, 'Happy Families'. The game has special packs of 44 picture cards, grouped into 11 sets of 4. The cards usually feature pictures of family members or job types, for example: Bun the Baker.
The idea of the game is to collect whole families.This was for a competition set by Tiger Print, in which I came first runner up. They wanted to update the game and bring it into more modern times, making it more appealing for young children today.

Random characters

These are random characters that I have created just because I love to draw. =)
