Animal Alphabets F for Faun

I'm partaking in #Animal Alphabets challenge on Twitter to practice my digital painting. I'm a little late to the party as they’re now on F, but better late than never. I'm trying to develop a softer children’s publishing friendly illustration method. I'll be trying to do one each week. You can follow my progress here!

Soreen Squidgy Fun new activity cards

The penultimate set of Soreen Squidgy Fun activity cards will be available to download this month. As I've said before if you have a young family this is a great resource for you and it's free. Once you've tried it you should let Soreen know what a great idea it was and that they should produce some more, providing they hire the same illustrator again. That's the important part. Without the same illustrator it's a deal breaker! Got it? Good!

Here are a few small snippets from the upcoming activities.

I am currently available for commission so get in touch if you have a project you'd like me to work on. If you want to keep up to date with what I'm working on you can bookmark or subscribe to this blog, follow me on Twitter, or connect to me on Linkedin.

Revisiting old work

 I was asked to rework an old design from two years back which I did for YMCA called Smart Start Club. They'd originally specified what they wanted in the design but the feedback regarding the knife throwing main character (Sporty), the elephant and the lion wasn't favourable. I think attitudes towards circus animal acts have changed over the past few years and as for the knife throwing perhaps some parents were concerned their kid would want to give hurling knifes a go! Whatever their reasons I was asked to make some changes and I was happy to help.

The client seemed happy with the end result and hopefully so will the people buying their product. If you'd like to know more about this project I have talked about it on a previous post. 

I am currently available for commission due to a delay in another job. If you need my help please get in touch. You can also keep up to date with my projects via this blog, by connecting to me on Linkedin, or following me on Twitter. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope the rest of your week is awesome!
