Card Weekend

Okay so this weekend I spent making a lot of cards. More than I usually make in a year. At least double figures. Made some quirky looking Father's Day cards that I will show very soon for you to share with your Dad's, Step Dads, Grandad's and other Dad types! Watch this space!

I seem to have neglected my little blog here. Will change that with a picture of my desk on a rainy day! My more regular updates seem to occur over on my Facebook Illustration page: http://www.facebook.com/laurawatkinsillustration

The Incredible Flopadop

Have a little look at the mythical Flopadop. Having a great ol' time drawing and writing this little story

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

One of my childhood favourites. Great film too!

Bear in Underwear!

Part of a brand new project i'm busy with. Good fun!

Bedtime in the Meadow

A tiny glimpse of 'Bedtime in the Meadow'. Working with the brilliant Tiger Tales team. Written by Stephanie Shaw. More to follow!

Autumn Hedgehogs

Falling leaves. Even the Hedgehogs love this time of year!

'What was that?!'

The Phantom of the Opera

One of my favourite musicals. Magic!

School Days

Something a tad different to my 'normal' look. Was fun to do though!

Winter Fox

Christmas is well on the way! Heres a sneaky fox in pursuit of that elusive, swift Mr Mouse!

Night Time Bears

Little bit of portfolio work. Love night time scenes with a glow!

Super Kid!

Now I have polished off two books I have a bit more breathing space to have a play. At the moment i'm waiting to start a new book. Waiting for the go ahead to move to colour on another book and writing new book (or trying to at least!). I don't think this relaxed pace will last very long as i'm sure the books I have finished may still need a tweak or two! Anyway, here is a late night creation! What did you want to be when you were little? I didn't want to be an artist at all... In fact I was dead set on being a jockey.

Hmmm!

Having a little play around with speech bubbles!

Shiny New Website!

Yay, I have finally gotten around to fixing up my website! Its more or less all updated and I do believe its all working okay (fingers crossed it stays that way!). Stay tuned for more updates and bits and bobs

Happy Easter!

Hope your all having a lovely Easter! I have almost overdosed on chocolate and am now feeling fittingly unwell! This is going to be another mammoth week with two picture book deadlines! Busy and exciting times ahead!

Sneak of a Peak

This is the opening spread to my 'Visitors In A Stormy Night' book. Got a lot more spreads to do in a very short space of time so its all go! I think I had a little penguin that sat on my shelf when I was little too!

A bit more from A Spot Of Bother

I think this part is just about finished! The little bugs make it in my opinion!

Looks Like A 'Spot Of Bother'

A small section of a big spread! Getting there slowly but surely. Really pleased with how this one is flowing

'Trouble and Stripes'

Here's another title i'm working on with the Templar team. Really enjoy drawing zebras ...years of working at a stable and sketching the horses in the field is paying off!
