Infinite - IF

My love for him is infinite,
His kiss had started it
My unborn baby sealed it
My love for him is infinite!
(I'm really new at digital work but had alot of fun designing a background, I know it needs alot of work but I suppose practice makes perfect! Please let me know your thoughts on my image, good or bad!)

Strong - IF













If you struggle and give up it shows weakness!
If you struggle but persist to the end, to the best of your ability,
No matter how poor that ability may be,
Then you are STRONG!


I struggled to finish this mini project ( a birthday gift for my daughters Great-Grandad!) but I saw it through to the end and am now rather proud of the work! Perseverance has made me stronger and built up my confidence to try longer projects in the future!

What do you think, did my perseverance pay off? Any tips on watercolours or typology will be very appreciated! thanks Sam x

Magnify - IF


Jengy studied for hours and hours, he really wanted to win first prize at the science fair this year after coming second last year with his invention of mono-celled organisms. He had been up all night preparing but their was still something missing!
Five minutes before the fair opened he suddenly realised just what he needed, stars! lots and lots of stars to make his universe sparkle and shine!

Caution - IF


I tell her stories,
Try to teach her morals,
That her dreams will come true,
If she holds on till tommorrow.
To teach her of love,
To teach her of caution,
I tell her these stories,
Simple truths with distortion!
I have recently begun using watercolour and need alot of practice but I'm really enjoying it! Comments and suggestions are very welcome!

Wrapped - IF




My name is Lilly Summer.
Mummy and Daddy like to keep me warm ALL the time!
When I wake up Mummy helps me put my clothes on.
When we go out Daddy wraps me in my coat AND my hat AND my mittens AND then he even puts a blanket around me in my pram!
When we get home Daddy takes my outside clothes off and gets me ready for bed in lovely loose pjamas,
Then Mummy wraps me up again in my sleeping bag!
Thats why I love bathtime, I get to be naked!
Until I'm wrapped in my towel!

Modify - IF


Julie keeps trying to modify herself,

She knows that balance is all she needs!

So why is it that Julie can't stop thinking of cake?



Jamie thinks Julie should modify her mind,

He knows her body is beautiful,

And she should have her cake and eat it!

Wednesday's Child Is Full Of Woe.
(somethings never change!)
Thursday's Child Doesn't Want To Go.
Friday's Child Thinks Little Of Giving.
Saturday's Child Will Never Work For A Living.

Tango - IF


They used to Tango in the rain,

She loved to feel the drops on her face,

His arms wrapped around her!

The storm came heavy and fast,

They will never tango again!


My first attempt at a photographic/digital illustration,

comments and suggestions very very welcome!

Hollow - IF


The old didgeridoo was as hollow as his hat, but his heart was brimming with hope as he filled the instrument with his breath and it began to sing!

IF - Shaky



Lilly was shaky! But it was O.K, because Mummy and Daddy were there to hold her hands as she took her first steps!

Tattoo Design


Despite the fact that I am far too scared to get a tattoo myself I love designing them! They suit the style of illustration that I feel I am developing, with bold outlines and blended colours. this design is a sugar skull drawn for Jangy.

This little worn angel has been working very hard taking care of everyone else and not herself!
She is busy making a tree grow magically in the middle of a drout!
She needs a little T.L.C.
