 We are getting more settled now as the dust literally settles after the house move. Nonetheless it has been a super eventful week, ending in a visit to the British DriftCup final with the boys, hosted at Driftland in Lochgelly, which was absolutely superb. My studio is even more chaotic than ever, but I am hoping that this month I will be able to get tidied up and back to work. In the mean time, I am still working on new ideas and have a couple of projects lined up for my work as Binky McKee, illustrator, which is so much fun! Thanks for visiting, see you next week!

Welcome to my illustration blog, where I share what I have been up to during the week.
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. Currently I am working on illustrating a children's book, pattern making, and of course I can't resist a good Instagram challenge such as Folktale Week or Inktober. 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 ...
