Hi everyone, apologies for the lack of posts in the last few months but our cat Su has been very sick so a lot of my time has been taken up with looking after her. Su has lymphoma and is currently about a quarter of the way through her treatment so I may not be able to post as often as I had been at the beginning of the year.
I did finish the alphabet section of 36 Days of Type, but unfortunately couldn’t complete the entire month including the numbers. If you’re curious here are the last few designs that I completed:
However, I have continued to be active on Twitch and have also reinstated my Youtube account. I am uploading timelapse videos of my Twitch streams so you can see the progress of my painting projects!
Current Painting Project – Victorian Animals
I currently am working on four different paintings. The first one in the series is completed, meet Miss Bunny:
I am aiming to get the majority of these paintings done by the end of October but I have so much to do, so I think I will be happy if I have at all ten paintings transferred to canvas and the underpainting layers done by then!
In the meantime, here are some photos of the four paintings currently in progress.
Mr Great Dane
Mr Tawny Frogmouth
Mr Greyhound
Mrs Greyhound
I am still working on the drawing for the sixth painting, which is based on my cat Su. I am about to transfer the drawing to canvas, so I will start the under painting soon!
New Prints Available
I uploaded some of my favourite drawings from last year’s Inktober to Society6 and Redbubble, so those are now available and my Tuis in the Kowhai Flowers print has been really popular! Thank you so much to everyone who has bought prints, and other items with the design!
If you would like to come along to the live streams and say hi, I stream every Tuesday and Thursday from 3.30pm at twitch.tv/squibbledesign.
I don’t have an upload schedule for my Youtube channel, but I am gradually adding videos as I complete each time lapse.
