 More Hallowe'en themes (of course!) The haunting of a log, Tattie Bogle's love life, Ghost Hill - and a wobbly compass to go on an old map illustration which I was rather pleased with, forming part of a book illustration project I am currently working on. Thanks for visiting, see you next week!  Still working on illustrations as Binky McKee, since last Monday I have been on Hallowe’en themes! October fun. Here we have Tattie Bogle, some candy skulls, a haunting in pink, and a Tattie Bogle's boyfriend. 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! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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 ...
