Above Alphabet Wall Stickers-10 x 10 cm (4"x 4") each sticker.

I have written in my Blog about starting my online shop to sell my art for children. I started my enterprise by creating four nursery wall art prints. When I quickly started selling, I realized, to keep customers interested and coming back, I had to offer a wider range of children's wall art. One product I thought would be great as wall decor was wall stickers. I started with a wall sticker range of five animals, these were nice but a bit small in size. I always wanted to illustrate the alphabet using animals, so, I decided it would be a better to do ABC animal wall stickers. It took me a long time to complete my alphabet wall stiker range. All the animals are handpainted, scanned into the computer and the backgrounds and text are done in photoshop.

My animal alphabet has taken on a life on its own. I have created an alphabet wall growth chart, wall stickers and have just licensed my alphabet image to an art canvas reproduction company. I also want to create a few more alphabet products, I won't write about these just yet as I don't want to spoil the surprise!

Just to add, my alphabet animal wall stickers are a roaring success, so all the work was worth it!

    You have really great flare. I like the trial and error approach you used to conclude that creating a wider ranges of chidren's wall art would work well for sales. Great idea!

Illustrated map of Canada It has taken me ages and I am still not finished! I am really enjoying illustrating this map of Canada, but need a little break from maps! I have illustrated it with the cities and the towns of the different states. Then I have added the animals from the region. I hope to have it finished in the next week, I will post the final image when it is completed. Hope you like it!

Kids Map Of The UK & Ireland

Kids Map of the UK & Ireland (unfinished) I have decided to do a range of wall maps of different countries. I finished my USA map and am now starting the UK & Ireland. I have found that I really like illustrating maps! Also, I am not illustrating them in my usual hand drawn/painted way, I do hand draw all the animals and map outlines but then scann them onto my computer. I then colour them in on the computer and place them on the map, the text is then added, simple as that! Well, not that simple, it really takes my a long time, but I hope you think it is worth it. I am going to get samples printed, when I have approved them they will be printed and ready to buy, I will keep you posted!
