 Once again trick-or-treating was only virtual this year with rising Covid cases, but I was delighted to see our local young families dressed to the nines having an outdoor Hallowe'en met-up in our communal grove. Even the youngest baby was fierce in a lion costume in his witch-mummy's arms with proud swashbuckling pirate dad at her side, and there were all sorts of dinosaurs and monsters! So here are my own little trick-or-treaters wishing everyone a Happy Hallowe'en, quite a motley crew to turn up on your digital doorstep. I had great fun making them into a rogue's gallery, too.  Thanks for visiting, see you again soon!

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. Given that, I have no idea how Doggie with his dead-pan expression became my avatar instead of a cat - something to do with popularity on Instagram and lots of jokes with him! Must get a photo of my own face at some point. 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 ...
