Hello!
I've been gone awhile (deadlines, travel, pottery) but I'm back.
Interesting times ahead I think.

Ratlion's MOO

Hello!

I did'nt blog about it at the time, but I was the Illustration Friday/MOO Haiku winner in a draw held back in March.

It's been fun to see the updates of the other winners on the blog, and with the last of my free pack of MiniCards, Stickers & Postcards arriving yesterday, I figured I'd share too!

Love how my cards and stickers turned out. Thank you so much MOO and Illustration Friday!!

I think the illustrations on the three different rows of postcards pretty much define my 3 main styles at this point, which is to say I both enjoy and am comfortable working in all three. Now if I could only figure out where exactly I'm going with it all.

:)

Also, 2 of the 'face' stickers are the same one's that won in the Laptop Sticker Competition awhile back. I think I really like how they turned out.

There hasn't been an illo on this blog for awhile and I really haven't any idea why. Just been thinking a lot lately (where am I? What am I doing? etc. etc.) and the more I think, the less answers I have. Which can be frustrating. Hopefully I'll draw something soon!

Thank you so much to everyone who's been coming around and commenting on my posts (you know who you are). Your comments brighten my day. Really.

Cheers,
Radha

PS: My apologies for the crappy photograph! It was taken on the coffee table in the late afternoon light on a cloudy day and looks a bit weird to me, but I decided to go with it anyway!

Illustration Friday: Wide & Electricity, Healing Sketch #11 & MOO Laptop Sticker Competition

(Click on image for a closer look)

Text reads:
"Pretty Miss Kitty conserves electricity by hanging her wash out to dry."

Well, this illustration certainly misses the mark by a wide margin as far as the new topic is concerned. In fact, I think it would be correct to say that this illustration is wide of the new topic!

But wait a minute, conserving electricity has to have a wide range of benefits right? Right?

And hey! Miss Kitty is wide-eyed!

:D

There.
The perfect illustration for 'wide', no?!!
No?

*Sigh*

I posted this for 'Electricity' and then realized the topic had already changed to 'Wide'.

Humour me, will ya?

:)

In other news, looks like two of my stickers won in the MOO Laptop Sticker Competition!! I thought only one had. And oh, 'Billy' did'nt win apparently, 'Sean' and 'Valerie' did!


The stickerbook with the winning entries is now available for purchase here.



This is so cool!!!

:D

Cheers,
Radha

Illustration Friday: Seed, Healing Sketch #7 & MOO Sticker Competition

She said, "Mark my words, leave the seeds to the birds."
But he paid no heed, he swallowed a seed.


After all the fooling around of the last few days (in terms of styles), it felt so good to go back to one of my primary styles!
:)

Had a lot of fun with this.

In other news, I'm one of the 90 winner's of the MOO Sticker Design Competition! One of my stickers made it into the limited edition StickerBook! Woo hoo!

Below are the designs I submitted.

I originally made these(among others) when I won a MOO promotional pack (the prize offer expires in June and I haven't claimed it yet! Yikes!), in one of the random draws on the Illustration Friday blog, and when I stumbled upon the sticker competition, I decided to enter them on a whim.

'Billy' won! :)

Guess I've been lucky lately!

And oh, I'd like to say a huge 'Thank you' to everyone who's taken time to drop by and leave a comment over the last few days! Your feedback never fails to make my day!

:D

Cheers,
Radha
