These are making me want to get into pattern even more (plus I think I think it's confirmed my status as a shoe addict) All by Eley Kishimoto

Just a quick add on to the previous post...after browsing through more of the website here a some more faves
And my absolute favourite out of the whole bunch

I've noticed Marimekko popping up quite a bit on various blogs recently so if you can't beat em, join em!
These are just a few of my faves from the clothing section. I feel like I'm being drawn more to pattern recently, I'm thinking I might try my hand at pattern making. Maybe it's just a natural leap for an illustrator to make?

Apparently parakeets have started appearing in London and are now a threat to other species of birds...personally I can't think of anything I would like to see more than a flock (is that the right word?) of colourful parakeets on a sunny spring morning! Although my sympathies go to the other birds if the report is right :)

I feel a bit empty...my major project is done and after nearly half a year of looking the same drawings day in day out I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. All of my illustrations ended up on a wall with various collected trinkets from charity shops/fairs/markets etc. As much as I enjoyed it I am now savouring the "me" time and am revelling in the fact that I can now get back to things like teaching myself how to knit, some beading and generally lazing around for a few weeks...bliss!
I was having a browse through altpicks at the suggestion of swissmiss and came across these little pieces of loveliness...
