Patiently waiting for Spring

A handful of quotes

(...women have 2 choices...)
You're either a feminist
or a masochist.
Gloria Steinem

(...on where to begin with making the world a better place...)
Be the change you wish
to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi

(...on troubles...)
What you resist, persists.
Carl Jung


This illo is part of a hallowe'en handout I made about the un-truths about dairy and chocolate (you know, how commercial dairy is horrible for your health and chocolate is made using child slave labour, that sort of thing.)

More Zodiacs

Due to popular demand, I thought I'd post some more of my Zodiac calendar drawings (including Leo, HB!)

First is my brother the humanitarian Aquarius...


...then Leo (based on Ilana), the energetic multi-tasker...


...my friend Yasmine, the passionate and determined Scorpio...


...and the warm-hearted Taurus (that's you, chancha)!

Zodiac calendar drawings

I'm thinking of mass-producing a zodiac calendar using these illustrations I did for my own personal project I did a little while back. Each drawing represents a sign, and describes a person's traits, their planet, their plant, and is coloured to reflect their element (water, earth, fire, air).


This is me, a Cancer (water), using my intiutive healing to help the sick :)


This is my friend, a Libra (air), and her partner, as she is very suave and romantic.


This is Sagittarius (fire), depicting my brother-in-law chillin' by the campfire.

Chirp, chirp!

Most of my commissioned illustration work is in my digital style, using Illustrator for the shapes and colours and then adding shading in Photoshop, no outlines. This is one of my first successful pieces that was a vertical double-page spread published in Chirp magazine in 2002 as a family tree photo project. Guess where the family photos go... : ) I'm happy with this piece because I hate drawing animals but think this turned out cute, with that quiet winter feel of a grey day.
