After 5 Motion’s Neighborhood

I realised that if there was ever a time for me to update the shop, just before Christmas would be it.

 

 

I have new prints in a range of sizes and prices. Soon I will have Christmas cards and copies of Meow Magazine for sale as well. Watch this space. :) 

Can you tell I'm a Londoner?

These are for the new issue of the zine the students on my course produce (Meow Magazine). This month's theme is I Love London so this was what I did. I'm also on the editing team this year and we have big plans for it.

Mr. Elephant orders ramen at a Japanese noodle shop in Icetown. The decor is woodgrain ice. The light sconces depict a scene with Mount Funji.  Down below, a mother penguin and child are just entering the restaurant. Perhaps the child was curious about Mr. Elephant and begged his mother to investigate.

Mayor Guin dictates a letter to Mr. Elephant to invite him to the dedication of the newly completed Hotel Ice Penguin in Icetown.  Mayor Guin is the penguin wearing the top hat.  They are writing on an icy wood grain stump.  In the background on the left corner is an elephant leg carved in the ice.  Stairs lead to more rooms in Mayor Guin's home.  Somehow the goldfish's water isn't frozen.  Just outside the window, some penguins are rolling on Icetown's mode of tranasportation, snowballs.

Drawn with: Prismacolor color pencils, Rotring rapidograph pen on Arches 90 lb. hotpress watercolor paper.
