Its's a jungle in here!

I am very busy at the moment between my online shop, selling Christening gifts and baby gifts - GIFTS4BABY.ie and creating new artwork for licensing. Which is harder between the two? I just don't know, what I do know that it is a lot of work to keep up both.

Giraffe, Lion, Zebra, Crocodile are a few of the animal images I have created. Trying not to set them in a traditional jungle background, I decided to add glasses and sprinkles to the images.  Licensing is a very interesting area to work in. I am trying to get my images more neutral. Maybe that's not the correct work but more mass appeal.  Kids images seem to have less colour in them and neutral colours are the fashion. My art is all about colour so not sure how this will work out!
