Oh my

This is a little doodle of a bear who walked into his room only to find his bunny slippers at it. Naughty bunnies. This isn't of course real work this is me amusing myself.

The fish wears the scarf but the turkey wants the belt

No I haven't had a stroke I'm learning to speak Portuguese and this is one of the sentences I've learnt, handy I know. But the logic behind learning random sentences is that you actually learn the meaning of the words and grammar as opposed to just learning phrases like a parrot. It does mean that I look like an absolute nutter walking around my neighbourhood I-pod on talking about dirty jellyfish and free cupboards to myself.

Bunny and Clyde


So friday eve I went for a walk after work and walked pass a fluffy white bunny just chilling on the side of the road. The guy across the street was outside watering his garden so I asked him if he knows where the bunny resides, figuring that it got out. Seems the bunny as well as some of his friends did get out, 6 months ago, most of the friends have been recaptured and returned to the neighbours garden but two bunnies have been living on the run managing to avoid recapture. Sure enough a block down I came across bunny number two. So now we can add bunnies to the wildlife in my neighbourhood we already have guineafowl, squirrels (including an albino) and Egyptian geese.

Water colours



So I haven't had any freelance this year which means that outside of my day job I haven't done anything and its almost the end of Jan. So last night I got the water colours out and had some fun of my own. Its so nice to paint haven't done it in ages, I normally do line drawings and then work on the computer. Nice to do something without a computer for a change, also this way I can watch tv whilst working. Want to do some more non-computer stuff.

Bit of a story

Saving

Maya's little book








Happy new year everyone. So I've been meaning to post this for a while and incidentally one of my new years resolutions are to stop procrastinating so much so here it is. Last year I wrote and illustrated a little book for my god daughter Maya ( I've published the whole thing in a previous post) anyway I wanted to have it printed and bound and made into a proper little book for her. This turned out to be harder than anticipated with the printers and binders messing it up first time round, eventually after a lot of time and cash got it right and it turned out really well. So cool to have something published even though I had to do it myself. So Maya has her little book and she loves it. My brother took some photos of it before I handed it over to those little destructive hands.
