To kick in March with some hopes of Spring and sunshine, Jane has provided us with some bright and fun illustrations she did for a company called Little fidgets.
It's that time of year again in case you hadn't noticed, so all of us here at Frances McKay want to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year with a selection of seasonal illustrations.
I have drawn two designs for a card which I'm doing for The Pink Place in Basingstoke. This is a charity which offers free support,information and complementary therapies to people who have or have had breast cancer in this area & is supported by the breast unit at Basingstoke and North Hampshire hospital http://www.thepinkplace.org.uk/
I am happily busy with lots of commissions for pictures and cards - am currently working on a wedding picture and a birthday one and have recently done my first Civil Partnership card.
The lovely Gaby Morgan at Macmillan Children's Books has compiled a book of poems about puppies aimed at 7-9 year old girls and I am lucky enough to be illustrating it - a combination of my favourite animal & poetry is irresistable. It includes poems by Roger Stevens; Clare Bevan; John Foster and Brian Patten among others. I'm having to get used to drawing on Bristol board again, having worked almost exclusively on watercolour paper for the last year. The deadline is the end of September so must get cracking ! Here are the first offerings.... Jane Eccles
