Drawing a Day 30 - Penguin Party!



Today I won a children's book on the internet! Woop!! Yes I'm not a child, but still, I havn't won anything in yonks! And by that I mean years & years! Here's the penguins that brought me my win doing a celebratory dance in my honour. Life - It's the small pleasures that count.

Drawing a Day 26 - Tardy Sloth

Great day on the stall at Primrose Hill Summer Fair today selling mine and Tiff Howick's screen prints - turns out you can never have enough animals. I was asked for a French Bulldog, Robin, Rhino, Toy Poodle, Mouse and a Sloth. Having failed to provide any of the above here's a sloth - They always turn up late.

So tired - resolution for tomorrow - not to be drawing at one in the morning. Did some open heart surgery on my computer today - new hard drive and RAM, it's got a new brain!!! Photographed my prints, will post fat dragon in the morning and after that I have a snake and some trees that need my attention, if I manage to wake up.
