Mugs
Description: I live in Suffolk, UK and there are a lot of folklore tales about a big black dog, sometimes with red eyes. In our area, we call him Shuck or Black Shuck. He haunts the country lanes at night.

Description: Move over Biggles - here's Piggles, the flying pig. Let people know you take things with a pinch of salt with the Piggles design.
Piggles Mug
$18
Description: This was a graphic drawing that I had had in my mind for a while. It was completed in a blue watercolour paint and black acrylic ink. I liked the idea of making a kind of pattern of the branches of the trees behind the leaping hare. The only other tiny touch of colour is the orange in the eye of the hare.
White Horse Mug
$18
Description: This is the famous scene in the classic book 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte when Cathy's ghost comes to the window begging to be let in. This is done mainly in pen but I added in a little pencil work to make the ghost look softer and less real and the snow is done in white goache paint. I have worked it up on yellow paper.
Description: A lone hare sits and looks at the early Autumn landscape by the light of the full moon. This is a hand drawn piece, lovingly drawn with a dip pen and black ink and then carefully coloured with watercolours.
Autumn Hare Mug
$18
Description: This is one of my hand drawn cartoons, which I made as a christmas card a few years back. It's simply line work and water colour paints. I used a red marker for the bright reds. I was coming at this idea from the angle of a turkey. Everyone seems to love christmas but there are a few who don't care much for it.

Description: Dr. Foster went to Gloucester In a shower of rain He fell in a puddle, right up to his middle And never went there again. Another in my nursery rhyme series. This is a drawing in Windsor and Newton inks on card.
Dr Foster Mug
$18
Description: This is a little, cosy town house in the depth of winter. I used a printing technique for the body of the house and painted in the windows in black and white acrylic. There is a little bit of pastel in the roof and the rest is hand painted in acrylics. The grey background is a water colour wash.
The Hawk Mug
$18
Description: This is a card which I originally did for my Dad. It's a bright and cheery card and I thought you might like to see it. This was done in Windsor and Newton inks on card.
Sunny Smile Mug
$18
Description: This is the Aesop's Fable 'The Peacock and the Crane' encapsulated in one drawing. The peacock had been admiring himself asked the crane how he could live with looking so drab. The crane reminded the peacock that although his tail was a fabulous sight, it also caused him great problems in flight, whereas the crane could soar above countries and cities and the peacock could not. I designed this in the shape of a church window and with an old English type face which can be found in churches to give a nod to the morality and wisdom of the Aesop's tales.
Description: I love hares and their odd looks. This is a black and white drawing which has then had colour added to it by hand. I used a dip pen on Bristol board and used water colours to colour.
