I have two more illustrations in the December issue of Fairlady magazine. These are for an article on the “sandwich generation” – women who find themselves emotionally and financially squeezed by demands from their aging parents and dependent children. Yikes! This is the main illustration… … and this “sandwich recipe” appeared on a following page. …

Saggitarius
The December edition of Fairlady magazine is out, so I can publish my Saggitarius illustration. I put extra care into this one, ‘cos I’m a Sagg myself! Made using cut paper and vinyl, finished in Photoshop and Illustrator.

Funny paint sample
Ok, this really tickled me after yesterday’s paint sample post. It arrived in the new copy of House & Leisure magazine, to all intents and purposes, just another Plascon paint sample, but on closer inspection, proved to be an ad for Nicorette patches. Each of the colour blocks specifies the number of cigarettes you need …

Print and Pattern

Graph paper birds

I’m not …

Drawing Room 1

Unknown
Ta-ra! My submission for the Unknown charity auction show at What if the World, opening tomorrow night (8 November): 100 canvasses by 100 unnamed artists, to be sold for R350 each, with R200 of that going to Habitat for Humanity. Nice idea. I’m a cutter, not a painter. Hats off to painters – it’s a …
