 Booklet 2 begins, bursting with potential for the next 20 cats in my 100 Days Project. I love starting a new sketchbook, who knows what journeys will be explored on those blank pages ... this one is beginning by taking up themes which interested me the most from the first booklet: two-tone patterns, you could say these are ska cats! I hope to fill them with musical joy. I am also looking forward to intertwining more plants and vines around the cats I am looking forward to meeting as the journey unfolds.
Thanks for visiting, see you next week! Comments are closed.

Welcome to my illustration blog! I usually post here on Wednesday, sometimes adding extras to keep a work journal.
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. Currently I am working on illustrating a children's book, pattern making, and setting up a Spoonflower shop. 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 ...
