What I see in walls Part 1 Finally! We now have three rooms not completely full to the brim with packing crates. We managed to take a day off from house removals and had a 'lazy' Sunday. It was bliss; B tinkered about with his modular synthesiser, now happily set up in its new location at the end of the house, and I had peace (in another, quieter, room at the other end of the house) to work on those photos I posted two weeks ago. Here are some of the scenes brought to life via Paper by Fifty Three on my iPad (not sponsed, but if there are any offers ...) If you enjoy these, you can find larger images which I will be posting on my illustration Instagram @binky_mckee. In the mean time, I hope to get my work room tidied up. It might take a couple of weeks until I am able to get in there and actually start work again, but I am so excited for the new season approaching; I always find September a hugely creative and industrious month, and I am very much looking forward to organising my space and getting back to work at last. Thanks for visiting, see you next week! Comments are closed.

Welcome to my illustration and patterns blog.
I illustrate under the pen-name of Binky McKee, McKee being my mother's maiden name. Binky was the name of every single cat my great-grandmother kept - allegedly about 40 of them during her 94 years of life. I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the binkymckee. with weebly.com and it will work again. I hope you enjoy your visit! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time, take a peek into my ceramic design sketchbook. I actually made some of the mugs, but I kind of prefer the drawings! The plate designs are painted on paper plates, a most liberating process.

These watercolours are from my pattern sketchbook. I used coloured wax crayons to resist the washes of watercolour, also home-made rubber stamps dipped in bleach then printed on crêpe paper - the bleach takes out the paper dyes.

A sketchbook I used for mark-making with unusual objects - corks, seed-heads, feathers, home-made rubber stamps, my fingers and lots of flicky things ...
