Alright I’ve made a decision. Actually, you made it for me. Last weekend I printed out the two possible images for the postcards and put them out at the market with a score card. Then I asked people to vote on which image – the rabbit or the lion – they would be more likely [...]

Let there be Guppies

By elise | Published: January 22, 2010

I have just discovered guppies. How did that take so long? It’s funny how many things I’ve been completely disinterested in until I drew one and suddenly shazaam. Instant obsession! It happened for a while with ships when I went down to the docks one day with my mum to paint the old tugboats at [...]

Winding up 2009

By elise | Published: January 7, 2010

Last year ended in a frantically busy way. Across December there were meetings and schemings, markets and artworks, making the shop and etherially manning it, illustrating  a new picture book, roughing out another, working on stories, juggling ideas and concepts and generally frantically dog-paddling.

By elise | Published: November 22, 2009

You may have seen me working on this one at recent markets. Well, in the last week I’ve moved it and the cafe rabbit down to the living room to finish them off (too hot upstairs!) and here he is. I’m still making slight adjustments to the chair and background tones… but otherwise he’s about [...]

Too hot for the studio

By elise | Published: November 19, 2009

So I’ve relocated downstairs to paint. One day I’ll have a nice air conditioner or at least well-paid polar bears waving ice cubes, but until then, there are some days you just don’t want to be up here. Tin roof and me caught between the sun and the hot air rising… There were people up [...]
