Artist's Comments

This was originally in my scraps as a picture i am in the process of colouring but ive decided to sell prints of the black and white version aswell as the colour version so there are no two versions...or one (this one) and one unfinished one! So here's Princess Polly meeting a pussycat in the forest. This is one illustration from a series im doing which are based around a story i have in my head and eventually i hope write down that story and make the whole thing into a book. Lacking time at the moment (as youll see from all the unifinished projects ive started in my scraps!) but it will happen eventually as im rather taken with Polly and her adventures....yes there will be Alice in wonderland comparisons made but in the context of the story its not obvious (or intentional) and the cat is white. :)

Pen & ink with a dip pen by the way, waterproof indian ink on fancy artists watercolour paper.
hope you like!

its wonderful. i love the whole alice in wonderland type themes. <3
:icondidi-aubergenius:
:D thankyou! in the story she's going to be a princess who has lost her crown and goes looking for it, nothing quite as surreal as alice in wonderland, i want it to be a kids picture book sortof format, but we'll see if i ever get it all done!
cheers x

love it, and i'm really pleased you're allowing people to see the line work. it'll be a very different picture when and if you colour it. (i'm a fan of the black and white myself) when you do manage to get the time to start on the book, i'd love to peek at the mock up...x

Awesome! I love this!! I'm glad that it's in black and white...it just gives it an old-fashioned feel. What else is neat it that the more you look at it, the more the detail comes out. I didn't notice some things at first, but I love the little mushrooms next to Polly and the lace ruffle coming out from underneath her dress. The picture just has that whole 1940's/1950's children's story feel. It's wonderful! :)
