Another day in paradise at Mount Maunganui. Although it's pretty wet and windy today, in fact the Mount has disappeared into the cloud at the moment while a storm comes through! The sun will be back by the weekend... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #mountmaunganui #tauranga #newzealand #holidays #vaccation #summer #illustration #illustrator #art #beach #beachlife #illustrationart #illustrationlife #illustratorlife #artlife #beachbum (at Mount Maunganui)

December 1st! How did that happen? It was June five minutes ago. We're going away for Christmas this year so no decorations are going up at home and I am not really feeling very festive yet (got 19 days and a 27 hour flight between me and the celebrations). I've been digging back through some old christmas illustrations to find some christmas spirit, this one is from last year! I love these colourful retro baubles... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #christmas #christmastime #december #christmasdecorations #baubles #retrochristmas #christmasillustration #illustration #illustrator #art #colour (at Thame)

Things I do to amuse myself on a chilly weekend!

It's a chilly weekend so I'm cozying up and experimenting with air dry clay and paper crafts, designing new products for the shop. I'm being inspired by this festive illustration from one of last year's projects... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #winter #christmasillustration #artistsoninstagram #illustration #illustrationartists #snow #forest #winterforest #childrensbooks #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram (at Thame)
