M is for Mouse (or Mice)
Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. The mouse gnaws at iron (and gold!) and you can be sure to find stolen pieces of it in their bellies.

I’m almost done in this series (I may only be at ‘M’ on these Internet tubes, but I am near the home stretch in real-life). I am trying to get these (along with one final batch of postcards) done and out of the way so I can focus on bigger and better projects. These bigger and better projects include several “drawn books” and costumes (I need to do a body cast for the next one, and yes, I shall end up making some latex pieces for it. No, I am not making a latex suit). I hope to upload sketches soon.
Jersey and Simon
Pencil crayon with pen outlines on cardstock. One very messy loud energetic puppy and one…cat. 1 of 6 (but will probably only show 4).
L is for Lion
Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. Lions are full of mystery, bringing life to their children with their breath or roar and erasing its tracks from hunters with its tail.

The Mikado
A digital piece from a few years ago, which in turn inspired me to do the (Stratford-1980s-based) Mikado postcards. Based on Susan Benson’s Mikado.
“Real” projects are slowly coming together!
K is for Kingfisher
Watercolours, pencil crayon and markers on watercolour paper. The kingfisher has the power to calm the seas.

Too much to do, not enough time, why is this always the case? There’s just so many things I wish to do! I think I need to start setting some deadlines – there will have consequences if they are missed.
