The Magic Stones

 This was a piece i made recently that I have had at the back of my mind for a long time. When I was little and I was enthralled by fairies, witches and magic i remember watching a short series back in the 90s called Merlin (no not the BBC tv series) and I remember seeing stone circles. Since then I always was captivated by the idea and my imagination went wild. When I finally went there with my family i was so disappointed by the stonehenge of today. All the mysticism and atmosphere had completely gone to be replaced by a busy road, the tourism and worst a fence which stopped you even going near the stones. The illustration i created is the stonehenge I imagined and I wanted to give it a timeless feel as well, it's the way i wished it was today still the magical and sacred pagan land.

Majestic sea cow

this is the second piece i managed to come up with last weekend. I've always found it strange that manatees are nicknames the sea cow although they are very cute and gentle animals. I saw an image online with a manatee with algae along it's back and it rather reminded me of moss and the idea grew from there (excuse the pun!). 

Nature designs

Over the weekend I surprisingly managed to work on not one but two new pieces. After the end of Springwatch I felt inspired to do more animal art, animals are certainly my favourite subjects to draw and study so here is a pattern I made of swans a' swimmin'. 

World Oceans Day

Piece I made for World oceans Day! I decided to do the orca although it's not my favourite marine animal it has to be one of the most intelligent and successful predators on the planet and is definitely in need of protection.

New piece on my blog this week, i'm trying to keep a bit more active through the week and still doing my creative pieces after working in the office. Now that's summer has begun I wanted to do a piece based on my need to see the sea again. I hope I get to go to the beach again this summer.

National Black Bear Day

Happy National Black Bear Day!
