A beautiful Glasgow morning....

The rain has finally stopped, the clouds have parted and the early rays of crisp Scottish light are beginning to peep through.  A beautiful Saturday to go and finally explore the Botanic Gardens at Glasgow.  Due to lack of camera (unless I can temporarily loan the brother's) I'm relying on sketches this morning but I'm looking forward to a peaceful stroll around the gardens armed with sketchpad and pen.

Despite the weather, the buzzy atmosphere of Glasgow's west end has really got the creative juices going lately, and the soggy grey days have inspired a more subdued palette of greys and blues.  My time so far at Timorous Beasties has also demonstrated to me the strength and beauty of monochrome, and some of my most recent work is attempting to explore these qualities.

So after much titivating and fiddling in Photoshop and Illustrator a few new designs are beginning to emerge.  Still a lot of work to do in some cases but the following are just a few examples of what I've been up to.
