all things scottish

A lot of people have been asking me to combine all my Scottish food illustrations so I decided to make an A4 print and this is the first version - I may work on it as I feel I want to frame each one within the A4 so we'll see what happens..... let me know what you think!!!

kirsty cat and the chocolate teacake print

'Kirsty Cat sends her love to you with a chocolate teacake' can be bought on Etsy

A series of illustrations developed with my love of all things quintessentially Scottish. Kirsty Cat came from creating Bertie as I decided he needed a wee Scottish girlfriend who just loves all the naughty food I was brought up on when I was young.

The illustration of Kirsty and the Tunnock's chocolate teacake were hand drawn starting off with lots of pencil sketches and finalised using fine line pens and then coloured using my computer.  If you've never had a teacake you have to try one - they are sweet, creamy and delicious!

Almost at the end of this for a while and now I have these to play with I'll start on drawing up Kirsty Cat now for the posters I intend to do - it's been fun!

Some hand drawn illustrations for 'Kirsty Cat' to pinch - once drawn using a felt tip pen I finished them off on Photoshop!  When you think of Scotland what do you think of??

Detail of hand drawn can of Irn Bru for poster - I was considering using some photographs I'd taken but finally decided on a simple line drawing using a felt tip pen and then colouring it on my computer.  I'm looking for quintessentially Scottish products to draw for my bad cat so if you can think of anything... let me know.

irn bru poster

Fresh off the drawing table, Bertie's Scottish girlfriend gets in on the act but decides on pinching only Scottish items!  She doesn't have a name yet but I was considering Kirsty... what do you think?  This will become an A4 poster and possibly some badges... not sure yet.  Any comments much appreciated.
