Sing London

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:10:00 +0000

I recently completed some illustrations for a website called Sing london. The aim of the site is to promote a festival aimed at getting people across London singing. There is currently a competiton on the site to find an anthem for London which sounds fun. Check out the site if you get a chance and join in www.singlondon.org

Editorial illustration

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:21:00 +0000

I had a go at illustrating an interesting article I read in the Guardian recently as a personal project. The article reported how chasing wealth can make you ill. Happiness they say comes from experiences with family and friends, not from material posessions. Apparently people earning over the 25K basic level of income are no happier than their lower earning counterparts. Pig farming here I come. Wooooooooo!

Some brand new illustrations

I've been busy creating a batch of new illustrations for my portfolio. Here are two of my latest. I'm hoping you can guess who they are! If you want to see them in full check out the illustration section of my site.

Card designs

I made a new year's resolution to try and keep up with my blog and put something new up every day if I can. So far so good. Here are some card designs I did recently based on my felt characters.

Little red rabbit

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 18:07:00 +0000

Well my hands have nearly dropped off after creating another load of creatures. Here is one of my latest. I've been creating them for friends at xmas, but if anyone wants to buy one all boxed up and lovely, then do drop me a line as I'd be happy to take orders! ;)

Creative Christmas...

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 14:14:00 +0000

Apart from eating myself silly I have had a lovely xmas break creating more characters from...you guessed it...felt! It's been great finding the time to sit down and get a bit creative with the old hands. Here are my two latest creations. More to follow soon.

Merry Christmas everyone :)

Felt strawberry pin cushion

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 15:14:00 +0000

I've gone a bit felt mad this month and have started creating little characters. This is my first character so far. A cool little strawberry pin cushion. Not sure I can bring myself to stick pins in it now!

Felt 'Anorak'

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 17:03:00 +0000

A friend of mine has recently launched a great new kids magazine called Anorak www.anorak-magazine.co.uk, and I decided to create the character 'Anorak' out of felt just for fun.

Belly wheel

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 18:34:00 +0000

The belly wheel is a great invention for pregnant women and the clinically obese. Simply slip on the wheel support and off you go!

Fine wine

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 17:09:00 +0000

Got back from a holiday to Cyprus this week. I happened upon this fine wine in a local supermarket. I particularly liked the evocative label!

Competiton entry

Cry baby

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 20:13:00 +0000

I was recently commissioned to do a flash banner illustration. They wanted a pic showing Gordon Ramsay crying. I'm really pleased with the result.

Fruit and veg fetish

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 16:00:00 +0000

I noticed just recently my skechbook seems to have an unhealthy amount of fruit and veg drawings in it. I must have some inner fruit and veg fetish that I'm too scared to admit to myself. On that note, here they are for your pleasure.

One more for the road

Security alert

noreply@blogger.com (Sue Allen) — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 16:11:00 +0000

I was threatened with possible arrest this morning by an over zealous rail worker for taking this photo at Charing Cross station. Now I know terrorism comes in many guises, but I'm almost sure the CIA isn't interested in this photo and it highly sensitive content!?
