A Job is a Job

Just for a bit of a change I wanted to show you what was happening  after the last Halloween disaster at the Tea Shop. Everything is almost back to 'normal' just a bit of tidying up to do. The old Executioner had found some skulls running amok in the old Manor House... this would never 'do'. Not now that there was a trainee Executioner waiting in the wings. This last Voodoo Skull Man was proving a bit hard to catch so some traps will have to be laid. Maybe tomorrow after a good night's sleep and a chat in the morning with some of the ghosts....

Jaydn's 11th Birthday card

by Rick St. Dennis
What type of image to use on a card for an 11 year old? I have made cards for Jaydn for years now.. cards with computers and fishing and football. I felt now was the time to show Jaydn the dark side of cats. This is just a typical scene late evening amongst the burger bars and chicken joints. Generous portions and easy to eat on the go. A mouse on a stick. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Perfect.
Printed onto neenah and coloured with promarkers and spectrum noir pencils.

Manwai's Birthday Card


by Rick St. Dennis
It is Manwai's birthday tomorrow and I was looking for an image to suit. Manwai is quite tall, very slim  and Chinese and there is nothing on the market for either him or his job. But. These Blokes of Rick's are so expressive and such fun that I made a little photo frame for him and added him onto a card using Craft Artist 2. I am certainly going to get these images out and coloured again many times.

Love Notes for Karleigh Sue

by Cheri for Karleigh Sue
Isn't she the sweetest little Postlady! I do love these images..so crisp and clear and so very easy to colour. This time I pictured her in a little English Market Town early in the morning when it is just starting to warm up with the bunting fluttering and the birds singing with the town looking so clean after last nights rain. I printed her onto neenah and coloured her with promarkers and spectrum noir pencils. Then I used Craft Artist 2 to remove the white and to create the Town background.
