Vladimir Putin : Action Man

Linkdin sent me this link today, I loved how the article paints him as some kind of action hero - oh the blatant propaganda! Well maybe he does enjoy all of those things, but the idea of an ex Russian president running around arm wrestling etc is still amusing. The photos also made me think of this blog called Kim Jung Il looking at things which made me have a good chuckle. So here's my rendition of "Vladimir Putin darting whales..."

Illustration Friday: Boundaries

Boundaries made me think of primary school when the girls and boys had to share a desk and how we'd divide our desk down the middle and neither must cross into the other's half of the desk...I think I was super anal about elbow space or something.

Mid Autumn Festival

Yay I love Mid Autumn Festival and moon cakes! This is a traditional Chinese festival in Autumn when the moon is at its fullest (usually mid Aug to mid Sept). It is customary to eat moon cakes at this time - we tried
out these Taiwanese moon cakes this year (they have pineapple and sour berry flavoured filling instead of the more traditional bean paste filling). They are pretty and delicious! There are many Chinese myths and customs surrounding the moon, so I made an explanatory doodle to help explain ^_^

Real doodles

I recently spoiled myself with some moleskin sketch books (damn you Herbert Evans and your annual sale that make things seem like they are really cheap but not!) Unfortunately they were not blank pages as I expected, but I love them nonetheless. So here's some doodling from home, work, on the train and at the boyfriend's flat....

PB & Jay

I got very happy making peanut butter and jam on toast one morning and this is the result of some early morning musings on an empty stomach.

Yay I made it this week! Coloured pencils with some help from photoshop :)

Run piggies run!

They decided to be brave and explore my lounge today :)
