In my little corner of the world (things are rather exciting).

A big new illustration job has compelled me to rearrange my work space/ sleeping quarters. Now everything is backwards and I've tried to climb out of the wrong side of the bed twice in a row. But finally my desk is under the window, and that's worth walking into the wall and stubbing my toes for. 



I write this with a smile on my face as I think about sensible things like hand lettering, and characters and layouts and pacing and deadlines. The smile transforms into a look of terror when I think about the deadline, actually.

So armed with a brand new teacup (thanks Kate) and a pen collection that seems to be breeding, it's time for action stations. I'm ready. Infact, I've already begun....

  9. Interesting narration.

    I especially like your camel,
    the detail and geometric shapes
    in the covering beneath
    the saddle, and that little
    gift of Christmas patiently
    awaiting its destination.

    And yes, I agree, the camel
    Would make a lovely Christmas
    card.

    Cheers
