Snail News – new pets
As I have been drawing snails for some time now …for my story – On the Trail of the Lonely Snail – I have taken up snail watching in a big way..here is one of my new pets, I have three all different shell shapes.
One a Garden snail…Helix aspersa, another a White Lipped banded snail…Cepaea hortensis and the third one is I think a Trochulus striolata …with a flattened shell shape.

Snail News
Here is a detail from the fifth page of the On Trail Of The Lonely Snail story.
As the story progresses the images become more complicated.
Happy Easter Eggs
Water Colour World
Typical behaviour – say I will do one thing then spin-off and do something else… so The Little Wheels are still waiting…I have instead been busy re-creating the technique seen in magic water colour books, in Photoshop.
! Note: No real water was used or distorted or harmed in anyway in this project !
First Little Wheels Idea
Just beginning to work on the hospital trolley wheels idea.
I couldn’t resit putting a Rabbit into the bucket…just to see how comfy it would be…
Making Patterns
I love making patterns using Adobe Illustrator Vector, here is an example:
It shows Rabbit from Table Manners going bananas …I have also made coloured versions.
First posting.
Well I am back with my nearly Nice World but with added extras which will include, Thoughts I Have Just Had.
