Tiggy Winkle project continued and a painting for my grandma


Guashe on illustration board. My mom is heading to Kaliningrad Russia to visit my grandmother Natasha who is very sick, I painted this piece for her . The text at the bottom translates to " Me and Babushka building a world from moss , popsicle sticks and acorns." One of my favourite pastimes with my grandmother along with making dumplings, sewing and visiting the zoo.


Re-developing the Lucy character from scratch. I am going to base her on my best friend Heloise Emanuelle Kimberley Apesteguy Reux. Just waiting to scan in some of her kid pictures for reference. Make this character come alive.


This is the rough beginning of one of the several pieces I plan to do continuing the Tiggy Winkle visual development project I was working on about a year ago.
I plan to juggle that and my book illustrations.
