New website on its way!

If you've visited this blog before you may have noticed it now has a new header and colour scheme. This is a sneak preview of the direction my new website will be taking and I hope to have the real thing up at some point this week (fingers crossed!).

SPAM

Based on the title of a piece of spam that landed in my mailbox today...

New Heights

This piece is actually quite big and very long, not in the dimensions I normally doodle about in!

Because everyone loves a spotty dog...

Here's today's doodle :-)

Bear Obsession

Yes, I know, I've drawn a lot of bears recently. But look how cute he is!

Stamp design

I'm thinking of getting a new stamp made for my stationery and this little guy seems to fit the bill quite nicely.

Christmas is coming!

Pirate Cat

Spot the Difference

Just found some old drawings for a children's book idea I had about the differences between animals. I still like the artwork (unusual for me!) so I thought I'd give it an airing!

Hooo's there?!

I've got a new project under development featuring my old favourite topic of Scottish words. I'm thinking a book, perhaps some framed prints in an exhibition and some fun goodies to sell...

Autumnal Greetings!

Not long now until Halloween and the start of the slippery slope down to Christmas! I've had a bit of a breather today so I've had time to doodle (please see above). To be honest I just fancied drawing a bulldog...

Cupcakes!

Baking is my therapy and cupcakes are my favourite tasty stuff to bake. Here's my favourite recipe (the simplest ones are the best!). In other news, I'm currently scribbling away on an exciting new book project for my lovely American clients! I'll give you all a little peek once it's published and on the shelves!

Truman the Tiger

Busy, busy, busy over here but still enough time for a quick doodle. This is Truman. Maybe one day I'll give him a story, until then he remains a lone character on a page (on a side note please remember that all of my images are copyrighted to me- so no borrowing!).

Black Sheep

I was working on some sheep designs and had a sudden desire to make them into a quick pattern. So here it is!

Bear Essentials!

I've been playing around with my bear character for a little while now and today, despite the rain, I'm feeling a bit festive apparently! These designs are currently available to license.

Liberated Gnomes

I was reading this on the BBC website and I took a fancy to the title of the article. It's all systems go over here at Vicki's desk. I'm super busy, hence the non-posting, but should hopefully have some lovely new work to show for it soon!

Scheming Mice...

See I always thought it was 'the best laid plans of mice and men', but apparently I was wrong!

New Card Designs

Just a few things I've been working on. These designs are all currently available to license.

A quick update...

Hello, I've been busily scribbling away and not had much time for updates recently. Last Friday Cate and I helped out with a Storytelling session and had some great fun sitting on the floor drawing on bits of paper with a friendly bunch of kids. I'll be posting a blog on this soon on our exhibition website. Aside from that I've been busy working on two children's books and tidying my flat as my parents are coming for a visit :-)

Hello and welcome to Edinburgh...

...that is if you can see it through the rain! Peak tourist time is creeping up on sleepy old Edinburgh once again. I love our tourists, they are always so helplessly lost on an endless quest to find the castle ("it's up there on that huge rock, you really can't miss it")and so endearingly willing to wear bright yellow 'emergency' plastic ponchos. However, for their sake and mine, I'd quite like to see a little bit of sunshine please!
