*The Baby's got blue eye's.. Illustration on the topic of PRIZE.
The Eye monster doesn't own a set of blue eye's, so.. Personally, I think 
the baby as a means of escape, he looks trouble!! :)


Original drawing, before my decision to digitally colour the work
rather than paint it.. It's a time issue.

Illustration *Evil Snail for: Illustration Friday topic; VILLAIN. Unfortunately
the piece is larger than A4 which is my scanner limit, so had to blend to half's the 
best I could...However, the image is all there regardless. Paint/Gouache   


Un-cropped A4 scan without full background.


Photo of artwork on watercolour paper on the desk during painting.


Background before Snail.. Loads of watery paint and blowing :)

bus stop scene.. What is the reality is this: Monday morning and these commuters
are not at all happy, especially one in particular! Can you spot him?
