 I had some fun designing a continuous pattern with twigs and blossoms for my Granny's Attic collection on Redbubble. Anyone who does jigsaw puzzles will know the satisfaction and joy of putting in the pieces and making it work!

Welcome to my illustration blog! I usually post here on Sundays, sometimes adding a mid-week post 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 - about 40 of them during her 94 years of life.

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 ...
