Two birds.

I have been experimenting with not having solid black line in my drawings. I have been using my watercolours to draw and to shade with to give a natural aesthetic to the illustration.
I’d love to know what you think.

I would like to apologise for the poor scan quality on a couple of our recent posts. We sadly had to say goodbye to our lovely, high quality scanner and settle with something that hates us as much as we hate it. We are working on upgrading very, very soon. 

(We plan to update the posts with a poor scan quality with fresh, pristine images when the new scanner arrives.)

Mearle’s little brother was playing Journey, such a beautiful game.
It gave me more than enough inspiration for this little fella.

One day I’ll be there,

In a balloon,

All up in the air.
