Summer Garden - 2011

 Grandma Agnes (she's 97! And amazing!)  Sign writing by photographer and artist Simon Dewar  A little bit of Japan Mr Plant Pot! After a very inspiring summer I have finally got round to uploading my pictures of my little jaunt around my Mum and Dad's garden when I was visiting my Grandma. It's such an inspiring and creative place to be with lots of hidden treasures and beautiful flowers. Check out our Fi&Me blog to see Lucy under the arbour...aren't we lucky to have such a lovely garden as a backdrop for our creative makes and fashion shoots?! I'm hoping to use the pictures I have taken of flowers to influence some new illustration ideas that I have so check back soon for those. Click here for: My portfolio

I love my caravan

Monkey Magic!

There's a bit of monkey madness going on at the Love Love Drawing blog today isn't there?! I decided last night that my blog needed updating, especially if I am going to go freelance soon. Hopefully this will attract more people to the websites in time for the Fi&Me launch which is imminent! Business cards ordered, logo designed, stamp on it's way...thank you Lu! I like my new banner but I'm just trialing it for a bit...as I don't want to focus souly on monkeys (even though I love making and drawing them!) I have been working on developing my mini sock monkeys (or Minkeys) over summer and I'm really pleased with how they've turned out. I actually gave the pink striped one to my sister for her birthday and she called her Penny!
Hmmm, stuck on that last crossword clue again?!

Fun Friday Night!!

I am working this evening (I'm clocking off soon!) and have been updating my portfolio site to coincide with Oasis cafe. To see some new images visit my Cargo page xxx

Illustration Friday Topic - Boundaries

This week's topic for Illustration Friday is 'Boundaries' I have drawn the physical and structural boundaries that keep us safe...a home. I like how the top house looks like it is thinking, or day dreaming and the bottom house has a swine-like nose/chimney! All images copyright Fiona Meakin 2011
