New business cards

Hello folk, sorry I've not posted anything this week - I have been going all out designing my up and coming website - exciting!   It should be going live fairly soon - I'll keep you posted.  Anyway, in the meantime here's a little promotional/business card I made up this week.  Any feedback would be much appreciated as this is only a test run (I've only got 27 printed so far, so changes can be made!).  Bye now.

A sketch or two a day keeps the Doctor away

Well, I've been a bit ill over the last week and have let the drawings slide I'm afraid....and now I'm off galavanting to England for a few days!  So, before I go here are a couple of quick sketches I did this morning whilst reminiscing of our travels.  Ah, bathing in a bucket in a Russian garden shed and watching people eating turtles in China; those were the days....off to the ferry I go!

Tesco Value Pencils

Last week upon almost completing a very average food shop, I was overjoyed to find a packet of 40 Tesco own brand colouring pencils for only £1.  Forty!  Hurrah!  I should have spared myself the effort of yelling, "hurrah" in the aisles; these are the worst pencils every to have been made!  It feels like trying to arduously scratch colour out of a twig, useless!  Hopefully I'll get some use out of them though - in the form of firelighters!  Tesco, you disappoint me.

Hello!

Welcome to Chestnuts and Squirrels, the new online portfolio and blog of Illustrator Charlotte Traynor.  Have a peek at my drawings and doodles, from bears to beards, there'll be something for everyone.  Probably.
