grrrrrrr

Howdy doody!

I had just written a lovely blurb about things that have been going on but the internet went crazy and I've lost it all :-( BOOOOOO! So here is just a nice pic instead to make you smile:

Until next time! Au Revoir! s-a xxx

New Supplier :-)

HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE!

I am quite tired but VERY JOLLY as I have been working extra hard to fit in illustration things around my already manic life. Last week I managed to tick off all the things I had on my TO DO LIST and it seems this week will be no different; YESSSSSS. I feel a little like I don't have much down time but it's worth it for the satisfaction of being on top with everythign else :-)

I've been revisiting a lot of work recently and trying to make it more sellable... in short, it means turning my everyday designs into designs for occasions; I need to think smarter and act smarter! With regards to acting smarter, I've found a new supplier and I'm (so far) incredibly impressed! I can't wait for my first batch of NEW PRINTS to come back from them! YIP YIP YIP!

Re-visited vegetables design:

Have a superb rest of the week! xxxx



270th Post!

Hey all :-)

What a week it has been! I feel like I've been able to tick all the boxes in terms of what I always hope to achieve each week and so often fail to do. I've exercised, cooked, cleaned, seen family, caught up with several friends, celebrated 22 months of being together with THB, done some drawing, re-worked a drawing (see below!), found a new printer, sold lots of cards to a new supplier (!!! yippeeeeee!!!) AND secured some Graphic Design work! All on top of a busy week at actual work. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to fit it all in...

For all the new babies out there (including a special little man, Tyler, who I will be meeting on Sunday for the very first time!!!):

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :-) xxxx

May, already?!

Hello guys and gals :-)

Hope you're all well in the land of blog! I am yet again mega busy but keeping on top of things as I feel pretty refreshed due to a lovely holiday to Kefalonia, Greece. It really couldn't have come at a better time as I just needed to unwind and reflect on a whole host of things including job offers, new contracts and just where I'm at generally in life!

Loving the sun!

I'm just about to start a new drawing and don't have much I can show you just yet but here is a snippet of some logo/branding design I've been working on for one of the umbrella companies at McLaren:

Happy drawings to follow soon! Speak soon, S-A XXXX

New possibilities

Hello Everyone :-)

A HUGE THANKS to all who have been so supportive and kind and above all, UNDERSTANDING of my not being able to communicate as much as I'd like situation! I really am hoping that I'll be able to post more frequently than, well, nothing so fingers crossed. Also a big thanks to those who have been so complimentary of my new holding site: http://www.studiosa.co.uk/ big love to you all!

I've been celebrating LOTS of birthdays recently but the main one being THB's 30TH!! WOWZERS! He's a proper grown up now! ha ha ha! Upon celebrating a good friend's birthday, we went to a lovely tea shop which is local to me and I ASKED ABOUT POSSIBLY SELLING SOME OF MY CARDS AND THE MANAGER SAID SHE'D LOVE TO! woop woop woop! There's nothing official just yet but I'm hoping this all works out well :-) yipppeeeee!!

OMG! A BRAND SPANKING NEW DESIGN FOR YOUR EYEBALLS TO FEAST UPON!

Happy Tuesday all!

A NEW START (but using existing bits)

Good Morning all!

I am simply thrilled to announce the launch of my pre-website-site STUDIOSA.CO.UK! I've had a BIG think and I've decided to re-brand from just Nanny S-A to a more mature (but still just as fun) Studio SA which I'm hoping will encompass ALL the things I do rather than just my Illustration! Look forward to seeing more Graphical stuff, Stationery Design and Bespoke Artworks - YEY!

I'd love to be actually launching the full new site but there are so many changes I'd like to make plus research I need to do that I wouldn't be able to portray my best work so the holding site will stay put for now. Hopefully you'll all be kept up to date and HAPPY with what I'll be providing in the meantime :-) WOO-HOO!

I have a very exciting piece of news to share but it's going to have to wait until I'm allowed to divulge, this news has literally given me the boost and the confidence to push forward with my new Brand. I'm feeling very happy right now, woop de doo!! HAPPY FRIDAY ALL! Nanny XXXXX

Sincere Apologies!

Hello lovelies,

I am so dreadfully sorry, this year is proving to be a right shambles blog wise! I just can't seem to find the time to do as much illustration as I used to :-( There is some VERY good news on the horizon though so don't despair! I have been spending much of my spare time sorting this thing out, can't wait to tell you all :-D
AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE:

Speak soon xxxxx

@ Design Jessica, THANK YOU for your nomination, so very sweet of you :-)
@ The Book Florist, I am so sorry I haven't replied to your query... I can't actually remember how I did it now but I am pretty positive Mr. Google helped me out!!
