Give Me Your Fur

 Bison are one of the best creatures and are only made better when accompanied by naked moles. 

Creature Hoarder

Long over due post. 

I had a horrible cold a few weeks ago and in my drugged state of mind I created this:

It took roughly 20 hours in total; so, I started and finished it in a single weekend which was a great feeling. Thinking back, I don't even fully remember the whole process or why this idea came about. 

Its A1 size, which is the largest I have done since being in the UK. When I was in university, everything was big, 5ft big. I had the studio space, storage space, and my dad's workshop to build stretcher frames. Here in England, I feel a little limited by my workspace. Another is scanning. I always want to have a high quality digital version of my artwork for reproduction. Usually I am scanning A2 artwork about 6 times and stitching it together in photoshop. Working on A1 size this time meant I needed to scan this piece 14 times. Its a long process but 100% worth it for reproductions. 

The Fairy Tale Fair

Christmas!!! 

My first Christmas Market is only 3 short weeks away:

The Fairy Tale Fair - November 16th at Patcham Methodist Church in Brighton. 

I am very much looking forward to this one, as it will be my first time at this market which is always exciting.

I have two brand new creature paintings that will make their appearance in the form of prints, Christmas gifts tags, and some new phone case designs all in time for Christmas. I hope to see some familiar faces again.

Crafty Fox Market

I have come down with what feels like the plague I'm sure, so all the social media and website updating I had planned to do went out the window this past week. This evening I have just realised that it is just 2 short weeks until the CRAFTY FOX!

Brixton Oct 5. I am so excited for this. It will be my very first market out of my brighton/southsea comfort zone. Also the talent that will be there is phenomenal so I expect to be spending most of my earnings.

I feel super honored to have been successful in my application for this market. Take a look at the traders line up for Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th. It is ridiculous. 

Get excited. It's going to be pretty awesome.

LACK OF UPDATE!

It has been far too long since the last update. But within good reason. Sort of. I went home to Canada for just under three weeks as my little brother was getting married. It was quite nice to have a break from my real job and my crafty job too. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with my Etsy shop as in the last few months things have been picking up slowly. I read that it wasn’t a great idea to put it in ‘holiday mode’ for a few reasons. So I opted to not and changed my Shop Announcement and automated responses. Lucky I did so as I received 6 orders while away and even more lucky each were happy to wait until I was back. The only draw back was I was answering a few emails and fretting a little about the customers being upset about having to wait, whilst on holiday. It was all fine in the end. I flew back to England, went in to work the same day, then worked a Friday and had a long weekend to catch up on Etsy orders.

Here are two new custom Russian Owls.

I have been very much neglecting my Behance portfolio and focusing more on Etsy as of late, so it was a nice surprise to wake up to an e-mail from Behance letting me know one of my projects was featured. This will be the 7th Behance feature for me (yay!). 

You should for sure go and have a look and 'appreciate' it.
