Kid Rockstep’s Neighborhood

I couldn't decide who should be eating such an obscene amount of ice cream (it is national ice cream month, don't you know?), so went for little girl and hairy monster because I'm fond of drawing both. You can decide which you prefer. These were done with acrylic paint, black ink and some brown pencil.

I got this book out from the library yesterday and have been thoughly inspired by it.

Here are some of my sketch book pages.

And here's painting inspired by the floral designs on art deco cosmetic packaging.

Just thought they looked nice all together.

Tomorrow, the 12^th of July, if all things go to plan will be th grand re-opening of my shop, and I'm predicting that all the listings will be up between 10:00 am and 12:00 am GMT.

 

 

 

I have couple of introductory offers, just because I'm nice like that:

 

Order within the first 24 hours and pay nothing for shipping. Whatever and however much you buy pay nothing for postage if you place your order between the time the first listing goes up the same timethe next day (don't worry, I'll make a note of it).

 

Everyone who places an order within the first week of the reopening will be entered in a prize draw to win one of my hand drawn magnetic bookmarks. Nature of the draw will delay shipping, so if you would not like to be entered into prize draw just send me a message when you pay.

 

 

Here is a sneak peak of some of the stuff that'll be on sale tomorrow. It's a mixture of prints, stuffed things, originals and jewelery:

Or maybe not. Anyhow, here are my self portrait thursday photos.

This evening I made some collages with circles of coloured paper from my horde. I cut the circles with a craft hole punch and just experimented with overlapping them.

I'm pretty busy at the moment with commissions and sewing up rabbits ready for my shop re-opening, but I like to take time to do little things like this to stop mye going complete insane. The idea is pretty much stolen from Photojojo (oh, how I love thee), but I used doubled side sticky tape not glue because I'm cool like that. Expect more bathing beautings to come.

Video Games Live will be in San Diego July 24.  I went 2 years ago in LA and I can't wait for this year!!!  I get to take Troy!
