What Natalie Bought…

So, over the last few weeks I’ve bought quite a few things online. Mostly due to having money in my PayPal account (yay freelance illustrating!) and having to buy general wedding pretties. I want to show you the lovely things I’ve purchased! I posted about Delia’s inspirational jewellery last month, and this month I decided…

Things you should say every day

I am drawing so much I think I’m going to wear my arms out. I’m a bit chuffed because “Things you should never say #1” was picked to go on the feature page on Red Bubble. I swear that little community is inflating my ego. Apparently some people are having trouble commenting. I’m so sorry!!…

Another print on demand site – Red Bubble

So, I’ve joined another print on demand site called redbubble.com. After joining imagekind the other week, I’ve been sniffing around other services to see if I can go one better…. and I have!! Red Bubble is an amazing community of artists, writers and photographers and offers t-shirts, laminated prints, cards, posters, mounted prints, canvas prints…

I have a scanner at last!

Well, I’ve had it for a few months but it was missing a power cable and USB cord. I’ve felt a little lost without a scanner, and now I can scan in my doodles and colour them. As if I don’t have enough arty/ crafty endeavours already! I’ve also put some of my illustrations up…

Another Naked & Angry Submission

I created the above pattern for the illustration in the entry below and thought I should submit it to Naked & Angry because I wasn’t really happy with my first submissions. I’m at least happy with the balance in this pattern, as well as the colour scheme. If you like it, please vote for it…

What gets you through the day?

I asked my friends a few questions and let their answers guide me. This is just an exercise in illustration I guess. I’ve been pretty busy (thanks silly season) but I wanted to make a few designs that incorporated copy. I’m going to keep adding to this set on flickr. Check back regularly! In other…

Free Vector Shapes – Florence Shapes

I have been fiddling around with different shapes and making them in to scatter and pattern brushes, and I thought I’d post these here for you all to play with to! When you open the Illustrator file, be sure to check out the brushes palette for some bonuses! Download CS3 .ai file – Vector Florence…

Monday Illustration

Actually I did this on Friday, but that’s between you and I. I’m feeling rather dizzy from working with resin! I have a respirator with a filter for dust particles, but it doesn’t work for resin fumes when it’s still liquid. I’m counting down the days until I can fiddle faddle full time with my…
