My new year's resolution was to draw a sketch a day in my diary of something that had happened during that day. During lockdown it was one of the few things that helped to keep me sane, and it's been a really nice way of recording our second daughters progress.

For my daughter on her first birthday
Finished this only 3 months too late! Did it as a series of pictures around her full name, one for each month of the year plus one on the day she was born.
Airpods

Wear a mask
My hypochondria anxiety levels have been going through the roof over the past 6 months as presumably so have everybody's.

Having your extended family round for a holiday meal? ARE YOU INSANE??? Going out to a restaurant WHAT IS THIS … Continue reading Lockdown working from home
First cartoon of the year!
The baby has started at creche 3 days a week and so I have some time to start drawing again: (Our four year old is somewhat melodramatic in the mornings.)

This one was for a friend of a friend, who wanted to fit in as many memories as she could for them of where they lived and all the … Continue reading Leaving Presents
