    Another drawing that’s just for fun, no purpose other than to keep my hands and brain happy. 😁 here’s a couple of closeups…

  • Natsari and Ash

    Natsari and Ash

    A drawing for the fun of it. I don’t want it to be a spoiler for anyone reading Crown of Bones (by A. K. Wilder) but this is a drawing connected to the book. Maybe don’t read on if you don’t want a full spoiler! I felt quite emotional by the end of this story.…

    Exploration 21 at FLG

    I am so happy to be part of an Exhibition at Flinders Lane Gallery in July this year. It’s their annual Exploration Exhibition for emerging and unsigned artists. I’ve been working on six pieces, four are framed ready to go, two are at the framers now. As I’ve written in my Artist Statement, I have…

  • The joy of drawing your favourite Musician

    The joy of drawing your favourite Musician

    Vikki Thorn’s voice has been a constant musical companion for about 25 years of my life. I don’t think there’s been an experience in my adult years that hasn’t had a Waifs tune soundtracking it! I love that births, deaths, silent times and mad adventures all have this thread of Vikki’s songs/voice knitted into them.…

  • Phantom Cards

    Phantom Cards

    A.K. Wilder has created a new Quiz on her website, http://www.akwilder.com. The Quiz let’s you find out which class of Phantom you are. (Healer, Ouster, Caller, Warrior and Alter.) They are from Crown of Bones, the first book in the Amassia series, due to be released early 2021. We worked together to make these images,…

    Chapter Headers for Crown of Bones

    I am unbelievably happy to have created chapter headers for AK Wilder’s new YA novel, Crown of Bones. It will be released in January 2021 (preorder is available through goodreads). I’m already a massive fan of Kim Falconer (AK Wilder is the Author’s pen name for YA work). Kim’s Quantum Enchantment series and Quantum Encryption…

  • Frog

    Frog

    My first response is AAARGH when I think about frogs. There’s no good reason for me and frogs not to get along but I just can’t develop a love for them. I thought I’d try drawing this one (who the family saved from an outside sink drainpipe). No collaging this time, just watercolour paint and…

  • Raven

    Raven

    Wow. Life is moving at a much slower pace at the moment, yet somehow I’m busier than I normally am. Covid-19 is turning everything upside down. Art practice has had a teensy little window… but I’ve managed to finish a drawing I started ages ago. Here’s the Raven drawing… and in earlier moments…

  • Dewy Nasturtium

    Dewy Nasturtium

    More nasturtiums, I’m starting to think my appreciation of them is getting out of hand! I keep telling myself that I’ll put some colour into my work but again it hasn’t happened. You’d be surprised how easy it is to get caught up in the moment of drawing dots. This was a pretty large drawing…
