Merry Christmas!

Before i start 'zipping up my boots, and going back to my roots' (in Yorkshire), I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year, with lots of laughter and scribbles.

Thank you for your continued interest in my work and for the lovely messages i receive about it. I appreciate and treasure them all.

Christmas wishes

Gordon Scott: new kids’ campaign

I was honoured and excited to be asked to design a set of characters last month for Gordon Scott the shoe shop. More news can be seen about the over all Gordon Scott campaign on the Dalziel and Pow website.

Parrot and Pirate

I've been working on lots of things i hope to post soon, but for now, here is a little illustration i did this month of a pirate with his bowler hatted parrot.

The Little Fox Starlight Market

If you're in or around the Rickmansworth area on the eve of November the 25th, you'll be able to find a lot of lovely and yummy things at the twinkly starlight Little Fox Market. Come along, have some mulled wine and see some twinkles.

For details visit The Little Fox Market website.

Holidays are coming!

It might be a little early yet, but i now have a Christmas card section on Folksy. There are new and old designs that are available as single cards or in packs.

I have posted a few of the designs above, but you can see them all at www.folksy.com/shops/Lisadoodle

Thanks!

Freakishly hot October days!

A very quick illustration inspired by the weather today (turn a pea from previous drawing yellow and et voila! Mr sun enjoying a coca lola!)

I'm indoors scribbling but the sun is out with his sun visor on. Happy Hot October, UK!

P.s - I'll draw another next week when it dumps it down with snow...

Like 2 peas in a pod.

I had the pleasure of working on a little anniversary commission this week. Looks like the peas are in a pod tent which is quite appropriate as i believe the '2 little peas' are indeed spending their anniversary camping.

Happy Anniversary to K&M!x

September inspiration

A bit of a different post to usual, over the last week of researching for various projects i've seen several items that would add a little more inspiration to the work space.
If only i could afford a Wacom Inkling!! But i have my own inkling... that i won't be able to for a wee while. :o/
Also loving the Buddha Bowl. Perfect for eating cereal snacks whilst working towards a deadline. Stripy straws remind me of childhood, blowing bubbles into my loca lolla (coca cola) and thinking of things to draw. Nothing changes there!

The Print Space

The Lovely people at The Print Space featured me on their blog today! You can read it here. Thanks guys!

I like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain!

Blue skies above, gazebo poles tucked under each arm, a fun day was ahead.
Little Fox Market was nesting cosily behind The Fox and Hounds pub in Rickmansworth and packed with lots of interesting and unique stalls.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said 'Hello!' and to my 2 helpers Hannah and Phil.
Though it did get soggy in the afternoon, even with a slightly leaky gazebo, there's nothing quite like sitting outdoors with a yummy 'Gingercups' cupcake and a coffee on a wet summers day.

If you want a special little something for a gift this market is a great place to find it! Great stalls with lovely friendly stall holders. I left for home with waterlogged shoes, but with a smile and a tummy full of cup cake.

Now looking forward to my next venture there in November and hopefully to catch the September market as a shopper! ;o)
