I've completed "Tails"

My latest commission "Tails" Graphite: A3 size.
 
There were very few pencil marks with this portrait as I wanted to keep him looking as soft and fluffy as possible so much use was made of stumps, erasers and what's turning into my favourite graphite tool, my Derwent Onyx dark, used side on rather than with the point.
 
There's a WIP sequence here 
 
 

Whoops

I've been taken by surprise by the interest generated by my appearance on Colour in your Life and re-visited my web site for the first time in ages. 

For instance, as I've framed the originals for exhibitions and shows, I've noted on the site that they are "framed" in the description but didn't add the cost of framing to the price of the item (yes I know, that was a bit silly).  The indicative prices on the site for commissioned art work were also very old and didn't reflect the time it takes me to do an art work. 

The upshot is that I've had to change some of the prices.  In all cases where we've had to change the prices and you've already ordered the item, we will obviously honour the old price.

I'm very sorry about that.

Too much to do, not enough time.

I've been flat out over the past six months with almost everything but art. However, the good news is that the Wild Whimsy card collection is now available at the Royal Adelaide Hospital Newsagents and are going great guns. The collection of originals was also exhibited in the Challinger Gallery along with two other pieces and I am happy to say that 7 of the 11 artworks have now been sold!

Almost another year gone...

I can't believe it's November already and that it's only another few weeks until Christmas!

There are some exciting updates on Drawn Wild, with a whole new category of fun. The Wild Whimsy Collection is a cute addition to the Drawn Wild menagerie with gorgeous creatures in beautiful black and white with a touch of cheeky colour thrown in. At the moment the Whimsies are available as Limited Edition A4 prints, mouse mats and soon-to-be-released card sets.

There are also some brand new additions to the Wild graphite section with "And Lift!" ... "Best Toy Ever" ... "The Longest Journey" ..."Hide and Seek" and "Patience"

2011 - the fastest moving year ever!

Half way through 2011 already and it feels as though I've done nothing at all, yet I've been so busy, my head's been in a spin.

So, what's been happening? Sadly the second half of the year has started with some difficulty as my beautiful Mum Vi passed away suddenly.  :)
