My Take on a Vintage Coffee Ad

As you all know, I LOVE vintage signs and ads.  I just can't help it,

I find the workmanship, colours and designs beautiful...and the best part is that most of them are hand drawn and painted.  

I truly would have loved to have a bird's eye view of these artists while they worked :)

Today, I will show you a fantastic, yet simple coffee ad (above) and how I re-imagined it for my own coffee table.

I hope you enjoy :)

BUTTERFLY MADNESS

I really enjoyed making these butterflies :)

As you can see from the image to the left, I drew a half of a butterfly wing.  I then brought it into PHOTOSHOP to create a mirror image so that my wings would be symmetrical.

In the coloured images below, you will see that I added patterns to some of the wings.

Recipes I Have Tried this year

Over the last year I have been baking up a storm...and now have a few extra pounds around the middle to prove it :(

I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I did

Gregory & the Flashlight FRENZY

Inspired By All Things Hair Salon

After my last visit to the hair salon, I was inspired... 

by the tools, the staff and even the interior structure.

In this post, I will share all of my drawings...each image will show either a
BEFORE / AFTER
or
black & white image / coloured in with pencil crayon / altered in PHOTOSHOP

So each  image will have either two or three facets of the same image.

Just for fun,  I tried recreating the interior of the salon :)
