October has seen a flood or illustration commissions for me
so, for a change from my usual blog I thought I’d share some with you.
At the start of the month I was approached by Rochdale
shopping centre to create some crafty creatures to celebrate Bonfire
Night. Here’s a fearful Fawkes and a
adorable little lady munching on her toffee apple to wet your appetite before I
run the kids activity this weekend.
Mid October saw spiders crawling up and down the woodwork
during Touchstones ‘Tree-tastic Family Fun Day’. Little fingers made scary spiders as we
transformed old milk bottle tops into shiny shimmering spiders ready to
decorate houses for Halloween.
By the end of October it was back to the drawing board as I
completed a commission to celebrate the annual Big Draw for Oldham Art
Gallery. I designed and created an eight
meter townscape of Oldham past and present ready for kids to colour and
doodle.
The community’s contributions during October’s closing
weekend brought a vibrant flourish to the final days of the month.
