Freya's Hand painted Daily Schedule!

Thought I'd share a little project I've been working on for my little bridesmaid Freya. Her mama, papa and I worked through the idea of making her a pictorial schedule of the the current and following day and here is the final outcome!

The drawings were hand painted in gouache and then laminated and velcro-ed for durability and sticky fingers!

 

 Lets start at the very beginning.. Today and Tomorrow boards!

And the days of the week to pop at the top each day!

I've grouped a few of the activities but here are details of the little paintings! xx

Deadly Nightshade Games illustrations

So excited to announce that my illustrations are now live on the new website for downloadable
murder mystery games Deadly Nightshade Games.

 A friend of mine put me in touch with the talented writer Jessica Andrews, and here is the story of the commissioned illustrations and patterns I made for her packaging. We started with some character development and these were the works in progress drawings..

                       

 These developed into some finished line drawings and the final developed website with Character outlines..

Finally I designed a few patterns for the backgrounds of the clues, drawn with ink in a gothic style..
