Crufts Part 4: Maltese

Here is my drawing of the best of breed Maltese, I love dogs with hair to the floor, it's like they're wearing flares. The image is a little creased but you can still make out the details.

Inky Goodness Totem

I took part in the Inky Goodness Colour Me Totem project this week and created my own Totem creature based on their template. After my recent trip to Whitby I was inspired to use a nautical theme and combined a seagull, octopus and walrus to create my character. I think he's quite sinister looking really. Here's a small version of it:

Dachshund

Another Crufts inspired drawing of a fave dog breed of mine: THE DACHSHUND. I've just been to Whitby and there were a few of these trundling down the harbour, I was pointing and squealing obviously.

Greyhound

Another Crufts favourite of mine! (also best in breed.)

Hound

Inspired by Crufts. My number one dog: the Afghan Hound (this one won best in breed). Crufts really makes me squeal with excitement.

NEW WORK

Website update!

I just added 2 new projects to my website;

'The Outsider' - the illustrations that I created in response to the novel 'The Outsider' by Albert Camus

plus an animation that I made for Waggledancer and WD40 last week.

Take a peek at both: http://www.emmabrownowl.com

The Mustard Tree

Last week I was asked to create a poster and recipe cards for the charity The Mustard Tree. The charity is based in Manchester and helps to support homeless or vulnerable people by providing food, clothing and training. I designed some posters to promote a new cooking class being held at The Mustard Tree which is aiming to provide basic cooking skills for free for anyone who needs them. The brief had to incorporate the charities colours (bright yellow and pink) and needed to include some sort of reference to the Mustard Tree and their logo. The designs are quite simple, there was quite a lot of text to fit in as well as a map so I didn't want to have too much fussy imagery. I stuck to just 3 colours and swapped them around to create 4 different colour designs and 4 recipe cards. Hopefully they'll be eye-catching enough to promote the classes.

Here are my 4 posters and recipe cards:
