Rod Suskin’s 2007 horoscope predictions have been published in Fair Lady, with placeholder illustrations for each star sign done by me this year. Seeing as Fair Lady’s a fashion mag, I decided to go with a theme of accessories. Scroll down to find yours! Above, the full-page intro pic that had to tie in with …

Capricorn
The January Fair Lady is on the shelves with a 2007 Horoscope special, illustrated by me, so I’ve got a bumper crop of illustrations to post. Yay! I’m rushing, with a lunchtime deadline today, so I’ll start with a stand-alone Capricorn and put the rest up tomorrow. As usual, I first made a cut-out in …

Just a little blue
We had a difficult weekend, with our crazy neighbour terrorizing us again (“crazy” is a totally overused word.

Milnerton Market
First, the facts: Fact #1. Milnerton Market is not in Milnerton, it is in Paarden Eiland. It used to be in Milnerton until the residents’ association got snooty and moved it on.Fact #2. Milnerton Market is a great way to see your friends. Elbow your deceptively sleepy-eyed bargain-hunting buddies aside as you sift through the …

New leaf
Today, I’m turning over a new leaf. In honour of this, here’s lots of leaves on one of the teatowel designs that didn’t make it to the Somerset Studio show (MORE red and white? sheesh). The new leaf? I’ll be adding new favourite links to the sidebar (really easy in betablogger), and also will be …
