My Girls.

Its Sunday evening, it seems as though I do most of my posts on Sunday. I need to blog more often!

Anyway, i wanted to share a special image with you. My boyfriend introduced me to the little feathery (or not so feathery) girls about two weeks ago. Here they are.....

I love them so much. Two of my favourite things are knitwear and hens. It's an organisation called Little Hen Rescue that help to re home the working girls from battery farms. There's a group of Somerset knitters producing these lovely little jumpers for donation to the Little Hen Rescue. The jumpers will keep them nice and warm as they have lost most of there feathers! I think its brilliant and i want to adopt one. I'd call her Maudy and she would wear the jumper on the far left.

Here is a bird i have drawn with a few more feathers and a magic tail trail. I think she would look good in knitwear too.

The Odd Couple.

Its Tuesday evening, i have been swimming and had quite a lot of chocolate milk. Thought i would show you the finished "Birdman" seductively draped over my beautiful floral 1.5 seater conservatory sofa.He isn't really being seductive, i just like that word. Anyway there he is. He is approximately 50" x 70" and he needs a home well a frame to house him. I'm struggling to decide what frame to go for and i have realised i should of cropped him after i had bought the frame, but hey ho. I'm currently working on his sexy partner "Catwoman" she is going rather well but i need to finish her.

My boyfriend said she looks like she has two black eyes all bruised and battered. I can assure him and you that Birdman doesn not believe in domestic violence and that she is just lucky to have such pretty coloured eyes.

So thats the two of them. I have a few little projects on at the moment so im keeping busy. I have been designing bits of my website homepage which my blog title now reflects. I hope one day soon ill be a well know Brighton Artist, heres hoping.

And i just have to show you how lovely my bedroom looked on Saturday morning. I made my housemate Jody a birthday breakfast and we sat round the coffee table munching away in the sunlight. Have a gander.

Goodbye one and all.
Oh and i'm terribly sorry if i've made any tragically damning spelling mistakes......punish me!!

Hairy Cat on the wall.

Ahaaaa hello there, Its Monday. Its 23:03. Its bed time but its also new post time. I had an urge to share and show you something.
I have decided to take photographs and get others to photograph my work among the different houses it lives in. I was at my parents the other weekend and took a wee photo of the Hairy Cat at the top of the stairs.

This was my Mothers birthday present last year. She opened it in front of my massively large family and little sniggers errupted. As they could see nothing other than a tiny little pee wee.

For some reason people seem to think that phallic symbols appear in many of my drawings. I have in the past noticed this, but by no means is this an intentional act.

I am of course a sweet and innocent gal!?

Can you spot the phallic imagery??

Weird and Wonderful Collaboration

I havnt done many collaborations in my time, but i think its time to start. Every artisit is different and to then get involved with another creative person is scary yet exciting. Not sure what kind of boundaries you might cross and lines you might blur. One evening myself and my dear friend Rachel sat down together for a nice chillaxing evening. We decided to get my sketchbook out and do a little collaboration of sorts. We wanted to pick a location and the location we picked was the beach. A love to all. Rachel and i dont tend to sit in silence very much, but we sat there that wintery eve and didnt mutter a word while we scribbled away in my little sketchbook.

There was not really a moment when we realised what we had created, until it was time to take a look from further back. We immediately burst into laughter. We could really describe what we had done. It was somewhat a hideous masterpiece. And i love it to this day, i think without a doubt most scenic beaches throughout the country should look and feel like this in the summer time.

So without further ramblings.......i present to you Libby and Rachels collaboration.

Some new things i done.

Just thought i would post up a few new drawings i have done recently. And one Mr. "Birdman" i am currently working on, he is stuck to my bedroom wall. My wall is the best studio i have, at least i can hear the drunks of Western road while i'm hard at work, trying to be creative. Actually i did have a nice chat with a Big Issue man the other day. He wanted to see the drawings i was holding. He seemed very interested and i showed him. Then he proceeded to tell me to 'not work too hard'............


Ahhhh the Diamond Doll.

Quote from my sister "Fire breathing rabbit with long hair"


American shack.....in progress.


My big Birdman, he is in progress. He is awaiting a colourful striped t-shirt.
And i would now like to show you little Deric. I drew him for someone special. This ones for you Deric!

Oh deary deary me.

I havn't posted anything in a long time, and its very naughty. I have no excuse really, apart form my raging social life!! or the fact i like to go to bed at 8pm these days. Right so tonight i thought i'd share some home made cards with you. Some are old some are new. I find these days there is no way i would ever buy a card for someone, and i think that the person who was recieve a Clintons card form me would know immediately that i was in a rush or forgot! So its not an option to buy. Always homemade.

Here is a selection.

This one was for Stanley Bill Burgess. My Nephew.


I have sent this to a few people, arent they lucky?

For my sister Rosie.
A few for some work collegues, again, what lucky sods!!!

well not really a monster, more like a friendly,hairy goofy mole.


This one is a little more messy i think but the hands are rather lovely, very connected.


And finally crazy bat lady with stuck on feet..........you know..... as you do.
