Messing about trying to draw Marilyn Monroe, lil man was unimpressed because I hadn't put legs on..... hence legs at the bottom [drawn by him]

I'm pretty sure I could be a surgeon now....

Does anyone remember me saying how much I would love a copy of 'grays anatomy' a few weeks ago? 

Well as it goes one of mine and my mums lovely friends also happens to read this blog and had a copy! that's she wanted to get rid of! And therefore gave to me! PEOPLE ARE AWESOME!

EEEK! I love anatomy I kind of think that the human body is one of the most beautiful devices ever. 
And I'm in love with the illustrations!!!!!

please excuse my nails, they are what my mother would call skanky

I mean seriously could gross insidey stuff look prettier? maybe its the black and white! It makes me want to go and cut people up to see if that's what it really looks like!

...........

but not in like a weird murdering sort of way....

more like an "oooh arnt your insides lovely" kind of way....

oh wait that's still creepy

maybe I'll just trust in grey and assume he's pretty accurate.

and then everyone stays intact!

Much Love

Having fun!

Sometimes you've just got to sack off the hard stuff and do something fun! Which is why this morning I made the kitchist possible cushions I could ( pictures to come!) and did some fun drawing! 

It's not finished but I like the whimsical style! And the fact that it's colourful! 

And the daisy is so darn cute! 

Much love

Nobody understands me!

I like to think I was a fairly normal teenager, slightly grumpy but not the obnoxious kind, slightly introverted but not a huge emotional wreck, interested in boys but not obsessively in love after 10 minutes. Yes I think I was fairly normal but apparently not, this was the wall of my teenage bedroom, 

Oh yeah! It started with the skull and just expanded? There's a lot of emotion on that wall, a LOT of teenage angst! 

And yeah my mum did let me scribble on the walls (I have the best parents)! 

Surprisingly it actually helped for a while with dealing with the whole "growing up" thing. I kind of thought of it as a huge visual journal, everything I felt I wrote down. And then when I felt better I got rid of it. 

After all it's unhealthy to dwell on the past? 

I kept the skull though, it's copied from my tarot cards (I've told you I'm a hippy before!) and represents new life or a change in path, sort of an out with the old approach to life. 

Gosh can you see that time label? 2009! 

Anyway here's the question, well two of them, 

How did you cope with the whole growing up thing? 

And would you let your child draw on the walls? 

Much love

Buzz Off

I cant remember the last time I did any proper drawing or illustration work. In fact I think the last time I picked up one of my fine liners it was to write down a doctors appointment. But ill been asked to do some sketches so here I am. Trying to find my groove, Trying to get comfy and trying desperately to get the worlds noisiest fly out of the room. Yes that's just my luck, I wait all day to get Little Knitwit off the sleep and before I know it something else is buzzing around me! Can't win.

 

 

There's a lot more work to be done on the piece as a whole, but I'm hoping I might find some time to do some more knitting today (I've got another hat on the go!)

 

In other news Mr Knitwit finally upgraded my phone. So if your not already following me on pinterest and twitter, get on it! And prepare yourself for a heck load of tweets and pins! I'm also now on instagram, and although the stupid technology wont let me add a button you can find me at knitwitsowls! On instagram you can expect adorable pictures of little Knitwit and adorable pictures of owls! Like this one!

 

 

According to little Knitwit they are mummy's babies and they are having a snuggle!

 

Right I'm off the brutally murder the worlds loudest fly.

 

Much Love
