This is my last minute picture for Illustration Friday, the topic was "spotted". I decided to do a sample that could be for a children's magazine such as Chirp. The idea is to "spot the dots".
In other illustration news, I'm now on a new website dedicated to a small group of children's illustrators, called illustrationforkids.com. The site was whipped up in no time by the talented Holli, I was so impressed!
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes, I had a lovely time working on my "spotted" sketch. And here's a picture of the children's stamps that came all the way from Britain. Please note that the very hungry caterpillar has managed to eat some of his own stamp. Seeing Paddington made me nostalgic, Beatrix Potter is my hero, and of course who doesn't love the fabulous Quentin Blake?

your illustration is so clever especially that it can double as a working illustration too! Smart and talented. Not your first day...I love it!!!
wonderful and delightful illustration :)
I grew up with the very hungry caterpillar and loved it too! I wonder if that is where I have got my fixation with making things with holes?
i love the illustration...
i have always been kind of dotty
for dots.
:)
and the new site looks fantastic
Paddington Bear!!! Oh wow! I am truly jealous. When I was 10 a relative in England sent me a stationary kit with Paddington as the theme. I still have the ruler! Chirp would definitely be a perfect place for your illustration...just lovely.
Fun illustration.
Our 3 year old's favorite story (this week) is The Tale of Jeremy Fisher. He'd love those stamps. And he's been practicing counting with Eric Carle's holey Very Hungry Caterpiller book.
This is really sweet and lovely and perfect for a kid's magazine:)
I love your 'spotted' illustration, Claire. Great portfolio piece!
And a belated happy birthday to you!
Beautiful! Thank you for showing us the stamps.
And your illustration is lovely to.
I have also wanted to be a painter since the age of four when my painting of an apple tree went into an exhibition!!
Wonderful stamps, I can't decide which row I like best. They all bring back such memories. Always lovely ducking over to see your blog, gracia
Your illustration looks really great!
