Crumpets in design for 2012


So inspired by those vintage shoes I recreated them for a holiday ornament collection I am working on. They're not quite where they need to be but thought it would be fun to share the inspiration and the painting bit. I may take these shoes even further down the fantasy Christmas theme... we shall see.
The figurine ideas are fun, my favorite is yes, the flying pig with his little friend Mr. Chipmunk on his back.  The tiny bunny in the center there is too cute, she's a bit on the small side for you to see but she's precious.

I came upon your work purely by accident and am in LOVE with your style!! These shoes are sooooooo much fun, as is all of your work that I've seen thus far. I'm a struggling humorous commercial illustrator (in these economic times) and it's such an inspiration to read your blog and see what inspires you.
