Smelly goggie

I love to work on a tight deadline - the stress brings the best ideas quickly as I know I will not have time to waste my energy on ones only half good. Even a sketch of the dog of my hairdresser proved to be useful. My first illustration in a big, women glossy and great fun (what you see is just a little drawing I made this morning, not the comissioned thing).

However I might have to spend my fee on an eyebags concealer...

Smart like an elephant

Elephants are one of the smartest animals in the animal kingdom - I am pretty sure that they have their own ancient civilisation with the whole libraries hidden under baobab trees.

My elephant was not quite sure of a human/elephant spelling but he/she did its best.

Mercedes at the ZOO

Mercedes the polar bear will be soon leaving the Edinburgh Zoo to live in much bigger enclosure. When I saw her recently I was wondering what she was actually thinking about all these people photographing her all the time?

Cooling down

Last week was extremely busy but a sudden eruption of summer helped with keeping up a good mood. It has been extremely hot in Edinburgh recently so let's tak a plunge to cool down!
