A beautiful example of one of my friend: Karen's Sock Monkey's.

 

This one she made for me, I call him Kali 'after my favourite rainbow coloured sweet as a kid.' :)

 

And another fine example of Karen's talent. Fabulous Monkey's :)

A Christmas card I did for a close friend Karen, based on a Monkey & Crab.

 

 And here are Monkey & Crab in reality :) The monkey was made by the very talented Karen Hazeldine (from socks I believe) and the crab is a toy of hers too, so it seemed right to add these lovely characters to her card/illustration. Plus I enjoyed every minute of doing this work - such fun ^^

Original hand drawn sketch, before scanned and coloured.

 

First initial idea studies in notebook. As you can see, the original concept involved a rope and a panda "for some reason!!" Then as you can also see, I decided on crab instead. GOOD CHOICE I FEEL ^^ 

 *T A K E N 3. This is the result of a bored Sunday :) HAVING FUNNY FUN. Also, the result of a sketch I made a few weeks back in my notebook. Luckily I always carry one (Notebook), I get my best ideas away from the desk... F A C T ! Oh and Yes I am just taking the micky out of the TAKEN franchise. I'm Lonely OK  ;D

 This is the original little sketch  made in my Rymans A6 notebook whilst out.. Probably having a coffee in Wetherspoon's, can't remember. I doodle everyday, but they are usually very odd and make no sense, like ME!
