Noah!

Apologies for the big delay between posts recently, I've had a lot going on. All very exciting stuff - moving house, going on holiday, moving studio, re branding and developing the website (not done yet) and most excitingly - I have become an Aunty! I now have a gorgeous little nephew called Noah. He is a real cutie!

As a congratulations on being born present I wanted to get him something special that he could keep, rather than some clothes he would grow out of in a few months. With that in mind, I commissioned an illustration from the fab illustrator Rachael Smith (www.rachaelsmith.org) I decided a long time ago to commission something from Rachael, as I fell in love with her character Danny the Dragon and I decided it would be a perfect present for the baby. Rachael had the outline all sketched and ready to go but we had to wait for the baby to be born to find out if it should be a pink dragon or a blue dragon as that had been kept as a surprise.

This is the finished illustration:



I think it's awesome!!!! It looks lovely and has created a really special present. Not going to put up any photos of Noah the baby (though I wish I could to show him off!) so you'll have to make do with Noah the Dragon (though they don't look very similar thankfully!)
