Too hot to (globe-)trot!

Posted on 17/07/2013 by illustratedbyamanda

It’s just not cricket…

Posted on 12/07/2013 by illustratedbyamanda

(…No, but is it tennis/some other identifiable category of sport…??) A quick Illustration Friday offering in response to the week’s topic, protest.  Something along tennis-themed lines, inspired by the warm, fuzzy after-glow the collective British public seems to be (still) … Continue reading →

A tentative return (again)…

Posted on 20/06/2013 by illustratedbyamanda

Send her packing!

Posted on 03/05/2013 by illustratedbyamanda

I know, I know – there’s been woefully little going on in this inconsequential little corner of t’internet over recent weeks, but just thought I’d shoehorn in this (rather smudgy) small offering for Illustration Friday before last week’s farewell topic … Continue reading →

Running with (The) Raccoons

Posted on 17/03/2013 by illustratedbyamanda

Just to bring y’all up to speed before I unleash a hopping (my newly-coined collective term… I thank you) of Easter bunnies upon this little corner of t’internet, I thought I’d share a few pages of the last couple of … Continue reading →

Unearthing new talent…?

Posted on 08/03/2013 by illustratedbyamanda

Yet again, time has darted skittishly away from me this week, leaving me with the barest scrap of an opportunity to post something for Illustration Friday (and, as I’ll shamefacedly admit, moving me to dredge something up from the archives … Continue reading →

White, or washed-out, Christmas…?

A reserved robin for Illustration Friday…

Posted on 04/11/2012 by illustratedbyamanda

Count Spectacularly Un-Dracula

Posted on 31/10/2012 by illustratedbyamanda

A little topical sketch in honour of the ghosts, ghouls and other diaphanous (but not all, necessarily, malign…) beings traditionally abroad this evening.
