By elise | Published: January 30, 2012

Hello all. This is a little character I created recently… Just playing. I could easily have done dark hair and different colouring… In fact I might. It would be interesting to see how many permutations can be made of one sketch and how Right they would seem. I suppose I draw white characters first because [...]

Get your pencils out!

Mondoodle 23-11-2011

By elise | Published: November 23, 2011

Well, yes, it’s Wednesday but you can worry about these things too much! I’ve been thinking about my childhood beach days lately. I just handed in final art on a book called The Big Waves by Raewyn Caisley, which is all about dealing with the fear of being dumped! In waves, of course. So here’s [...]

Hot off the press…

By elise | Published: November 19, 2011

It’s market day tomorrow and I have TWO NEW THINGS. Shiny and new. Spangly even! First of all, drumroll please, we have a clear favourite in the great print decision.
