One down, three to go

I'm on a tight schedule here, folks.

I have four shows on the horizon, three of which I require completed artwork in less than three weeks. *cue mild panic attack*

After procrastinating all through Christmas - as is my God-given right - I've finally knuckled down and finished the three pieces I'm submitting for the Linden Postcard Show. That's the one where I've already submitted the titles and now have to hope that what I draw will suit them

So without further ado, here's:

'Rosa', who reminds me of this commercial:





'Martinique', my sweet little Indian girl...


And 'Isabel' who'll protect her whale pals from boats with a flick of her hand.

Isabel could have been more aptly titled 'Hurricane Isabel' - or even 'Kraken' (as her hand is a bit giant-squidesque around that boat), but it's too late for that.

I didn't realise until I'd finished them all, that my blue Derwents seem to have taken over the pencil case. They'll have to sit out the next few dances, I can't cope with any more blue hair for a while!

PS. These are all in my Etsy shop as 5x7 prints and will be listed as limited edition ACEOs soon.

Triplets!

I'm pleased to introduce three new girls, brand spankin' new this weekend - and unlike normal triplets, none of these need changing or feeding.

Meet Zoe, a French schoolgirl showing of her sassy new beret on casual day. Lovin' those purple pigtails and the softer colour palette in this one.


Slouch, a lanky, languid and bored model (aren't they all?!). Nice dress, though.


And Martinique...


..who was inspired after a visit to Kelly Smith's blog where she shared this stunning photo by Gemma Booth.


I love the warpaint, the feather headress and Indian inspired jewellery. Thanks for the insiration Kel! (And thanks Gemma Booth).

Martinique is going to be one of my entries in the 2009 Linden Gallery Postcard Show.
I always do things arse-about for this show. Entries close 1 December, but the artwork isn't required until January, so instead of creating pieces, and naming them once I've seen what they look like, I've already entered my three titles and now have to come up with artwork that suits each one.

So now I have to draw an Isabel and a Rosa.

(Actually, Isabel may suit my little Indian miss better than Martinique - opinions?)
