Snowy Griffin and girl

Hello hello on this wondrously sunny spring afternoon! I have been busy getting this last picture ready for the folks at Advocate to take to Bologne today,  I think it came out o.k! Well I like it anyway, I think I prefer the cropped version which I have messed about with the hues, I think it looks a bit softer with a bit more  yellow in it, anywho, here are both versions... make up your own mind! Right I best get going, I have a book to design, eek! 
Over and out XxX

Life aquatic

Hello! this post is my latest illustration, I had real fun doing it, apart from the slight queasiness I got from looking at too many reference pictures of warty toads, I had to start renaming photoshop layers from 'left hand toad warts' to 'left hand toad spots', as it was all getting a bit grim! Anywho, I hope you enjoy it.... Much Love! Jessica

Something old, something new

Bonjour! I have finished colouring up my last post and I hope you like it.. I also thought I would post two other illustrations which aren't so new but thought they would be worth sharing; anywho.. yer tiz' (as the forest folk around here would say)

Going underground

Hello peeps, Since my last post I have been busy sketching away on this underground scene, it's again, roughly based on Thumbelina. I'm about to colour it up but thought I'd show it to you in it's raw form first,  kinda like the before and after, I hope you like it!!!! xxx
