DESIGN: Ponc Press Commission

I recently was commissioned by Ponc Press, a lovely little letterpress company based in Dingle, to create a series of images our most famous resident, Fungi, the dolphin. It was a lovely project to work on, and a great excuse to go out on a boat, and catch up with our own Fungi, all in the line of research.  A beautiful day when we set out on the boat...

Tiki Tiki!

My most popular blog post of all time is my 'How to draw a Tiki Head' post. I find it fascinating and amusing, how many people want to draw tiki heads!! Apart from me that is...I'm glad people are getting some use out of my tiki head tutorials. They are popping up all over the interweb, which is great. (As long as they remain free, if I find anyone charging, there'll be trouble!)

Studio Time

 I spent my first morning in ages in my studio, just doodling. Over the past while, I've been feeling a bit stretched, rushing through projects and deadlines, and not having enough time to clear my head and play (or write blog posts!). It is something I miss. That freedom of thought and creation. The 'oh, what will I make next'. I've been winding down (or trying to) for the past few months, clearing out the mental and physical tasks, to allow myself some free time to design and play. There might be some big projects in the pipeline, so I'm taking this month to just chill. I cleared off my table in my studio and sat with naught but pen and paper. OK I exaggerate, there was a few different types of pens, boxes, metal scraps, flask, teacups, etc, but you get my drift.
