soupa new site

the soupa website has a brand spanking new look. you really should head over there to see it with your own eyes. it's really very nice. 

pre release sale ...

i had a little message from the guys at alltropical.co.uk the other day to say that my t shirts will be ready next week - e x c i t i n g!

as always new designs are available at a lower price for a limited time before general release ... soooo here's your chance to get one for the special price of only £15 until this Wednesday 6th (after this they will be the usual price of £20 ... still not bad but we all like a bargain, don't we)

soooo if you are interested in getting one you just need to email all tropical directly requesting my 'heidi bear' tee for £15 at toucan@alltropical.co.uk

*ps i realise i have posted this image many times on my blog. i'll stop now. promise.

*pps here's a link to the american apparel tee's that my design will be printed on, if you're wondering what size to get have a look at their size guide 

stoned

i was struck with inspiration this week when i saw these beautiful painted stones by Natasha Newton (click the links to see her paintings, they are actually A-mazing)

Natasha's stones reminded me of something i have been meaning to make for my mummy ... and timing couldn't be better with mother's day right around the corner! a while ago, my mum had seen what she called a 'chatty rock' in someone's garden and said she wanted one ... so i made her this (pictured above) a bossy little rock that on one side says 'turn me over' and the other says 'ahh, that's better!' 

aren't i a nice daughter ey ...

just wanted to let you all know i'm dontating 50% of all sales in my etsy shop this month to the red cross disaster relief in japan. such awful news, i cannot begin to imagine what turmoil they must be going through. my heart goes out to all those wonderfully brave people. 

if you'd like to get involved with sharing love and support to those effected by the horrific events in japan check out illustration rally's ganbare nippon : japan tsunami appeal sumbit/donate/get involved. you will find more links to donation websites there too ♥

in other news, i heard yesterday that my design had won this week's competition over at all tropical, which is beyond ace! so massive thank yous and hi fives to all of you who voted. My design will soon be printed and available to buy in t shirt form to adorn your wonderful torsos. 

also incase you missed it the lovely ladies over at ballad of... did a little feature on my work the other day, do have a peek.
