Up in the Sky

It's been grey skies for a while now, fancied a cheer up.

Stag and Bow

The Stag and Bow, in Forest Hill, opens its doors today. Part shop, part work shop, running classes and activities for all ages, The Stag and Bow sounds just what Forest Hill needs. I wish them all the best.
Pascale and Cyrus have been working flat out to get this fine shop ready for today's grand opening.
What's more, they'll be stocking a variety of Sleepingcities goodies.
My colouring books, prints and cards will be available to buy. Isn't that exciting!

ACEO Towers

A little twist on the ACEO madness.
These Towers can be stacked in any order, as high as you like.
I think these would make great transfers for walls.
From a distance, they look just like stripes.
Wouldn't you love sleepingcities wallpaper!!!???

The Wonderful World Of ACEOs 3

My ACEO frenzy continues this week.
These tiny delights are a real pleasure from start to finish.
A selection will be available from my Folksy shop soon. I promise!

The Lovers Bridge ACEO

As with any good couple, these ACEOs are great on their own.
But when they're together, they're even better.

The Wonderful World Of ACEOs 2

Told you it was addictive!
My wife loves this one so much, that she wants it for Christmas!

The Tiny World of ACEOs

Thought I'd have a go at some ACEOs.
These tiny originals sure are real fun to do. Very addictive and very satisfying. Thanks to the fellow Folksy members for introducing me to this..

Christmas Craft Fair

It's going to be a real cold one this weekend, but if you're in the London area and feeling adventurous, Forest Hill could be worth a visit . It's the Christmas craft fair at The Hob. Hurrah! Sleepingcities shall be there. My Christmas cards will be available, as well as prints, colouring books and some one-off originals. Double treat, because just around the corner is Havelock Walk Open Studios. It's not only a chance to nosey around artists homes and studios; there's some really fantastic art to be found there too.

Alphabet Buildings

It's been a while since I drew anything regarding the alphabet.
Thought I'd have another go.
A bit more work is needed on this idea (especially the lettering!),
but I am enjoying the simplicity of it.
.

Halloween Skull

A menacing skull for this years Halloween!
This is now available as a card.
Purchase it here!

Find Me...

Thought I'd share an early draft of an idea that I've been toying with for a while.
Who doesn't love a little game!

Halloween Bat

Couldn't resist continuing the Halloween capers.
Once again it's available as a 'Colour Me Up'.

Halloween Witch

Thought it would be fun to get in the Halloween spirit. Here's a very wicked witch.

A sketch from the Maldives

For our first wedding anniversary, my wife and I decided to visit a little bit of paradise. We love swimming in the sea. Thought a little sketch was in order.

Blowing off the dust - 3

All my Love to Eva. Thanks for a wonderful year. X

Blowing off the dust - 2

One for the boys this! The autobots logo from Transformers.

Christmas Card 4

Thought I'd try a snowman!

Christmas Card 3

One for the Foodies!

Happy Birthday Sullivan

Off to a Birthday party shortly. Thought I'd do a quick card for the wee man.

Christmas Card Number 2

Here's my second design as promised. Everyone loves a snowflake!

Christmas Cards

I'm never usually this organised and I know it's only only August, but as soon as I got up this morning, I decided to start working on this years Christmas cards.
This is my first design. They'll be a few more coming.

Tile Tastic

Every now and then I am partial to sticking up the odd tile here and there.
Sometimes they get taken, but if you happen to spot an original sleepingcities as you wander the streets, tell me where you saw it, and you'll win a prize!

'Silence' completed

Had a good last few days, finally decided on a colour scheme, inspired by my wife's shampoo bottle!
I'm really pleased with the results. Catch it in a certain light and it really shimmers.
And after all, Silence is golden!!
The prints of 'Silence' may be my first 'limited edition'.

Blowing off the dust - 1

New regular section where I'll be posting some drawings from the past.
Some good, some not so. Hope you enjoy them.

'Silence' Stage 1

Finally finished Stage 1 of my new drawing. Colour to follow!.....

New colour Home is Where...

This week I finished my first colour commission! Thanks Gina.

Work in progress 1

Will end up saying 'silence'. I hope.

Well done London

I'm really excited for the new London bicycle scheme. Let's be positive and get behind it, or on it.
Listening to Robert Elm's yesterday on BBC London inspired me to do this little sketch.
