Bit of Fawn and Thistle blogger love

The lovely Beki, over at Smock to Frock, has reviewed a few of our products.

I love that she's photographed them on an amazing pair of antlers, she seems to share Fawn and Thistle's love of animals and anything Stag related.

Be sure to check out her lovely blog.

The Peryton: Printmaking Techniques

In continuation of my Bestiary print making project, here are the last two I'll be doing for the time being. I've printed the Peryton as a Linocut and Screen print. They're pretty big, so excuse my photography.

I personally prefer the lino cut, I feel it suits the subject matter more.

Society 6

Some of my work has been selected by Society 6 to be in their shop. I'm not sure how this is different ot where it was before, but it sounds good!

Related to the Peryton print, I've finally gotten round to doing the actual lino prints (in a make shift printing press in my garden) and will be putting these up soon.

Sneak peek:

Mister Dress-Up

A couple of weeks back I was asked by Mister Dress-Up - a Montreal based T-shirt company - if they could use one of my illustrations as a t-shirt design. So, for the next week, you will be able to buy my stag illustration on a lovely white cotton tee!

Nature Girl: Two Ways

I've been playing around with adding some subtle colour on to my new illustration. I can't decide which I like best!

Grace: Nature Girl

Here is the first of three illustrations I'm doing for Grace magazine. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I haven't drawn people in such a long time!
During my first MA tutorial, the tutor told me-in a very unsubtle way-that I was bad at drawing figures and faces. I know you should never take criticism to heart, but as I was already going through a lot at the time, I did, and since then I've found life drawing to be incredibly stressful. Because of this, I stopped drawing one of my favourite subjects (I know, dumb!), so I'm feeling pretty happy with this.

Don't let criticism bring you down people!

Fawn and Thistle

Here's the coloured version of my Logo drawing. I can't wait to make these into screen prints!

New Screenprints

So here's some better images of the screen prints currently being exhibited at the Silent Auction at the Abbey Tavern.

I changed my image from the penguin book design cover because I thought it'd make a good print and am considering making a series of these kind of images based on various stories
