Baking Bread

Breaking Bad has become one of our ultimate favourite shows. A few months ago when I woke up too early, I mispronounced it as "Baking Bad". After a good laugh that lasted a few minutes, I thought how funny it would be to do a parody of Breaking Bad in the lovely style of Ardman. A few months went by with our busy schedule. But here it is at last! Enjoy.
Another collaboration with my wonderful husband.

Cadbury Christmas

Last month I was privileged to work on a Christmas set up for Cadbury. General ideas are from the wonderful Lynette at MCK. The elf's workbench illustration is approximately 3 metres wide, and the window is 1.3m wide. I am dying to see what they look like in person.

Pearson

This is a delayed post. I worked on these designs a few months ago, but alas, I've been busy with my life I totally forgot to post them online.
Pearson is an accountancy based in Mosgiel, New Zealand. They are currently constructing a new look for their business and asked me to create a few designs for their new identity.
I had to remove the dollar signs from this caricature, but I like them!

These three guys were also my preferred designs, but the client didn't approve.

Final branding designs!

And some more.

The teal colour used in these designs were sampled from their old logo, to help keep familiarity, as a small link between the old and the new.

Post 100! - And the Chuckle Tree Website

This is my 100th post! And to celebrate, I thought I'd upload screenshots of our current illustration website. Why? Because I have plans to change my business (therefore the website) next year.
I do like these hand drawn designs, but I am also very excited about my new business plan (woo!), and hopefully I can come up with a better web design.

Happy 100th post to me! And website, I will miss you. I really will. 
If you haven't seen our website yet, please hurry! You only have a few months to see it live! >> chuckletree.com

Dan's Halloween Jack O Lanterns

Oh hello Blogspot. It's been a while! And what do you know, it's almost Halloween. My husband is literally Halloween-crazy, so he's been doing his annual Halloween illustration marathon this month.
His new experiments have been turning out really well, so I thought I would post it on my blog. It is what he calls a "3D Crossview". It works when you cross your eyes like you would for magic eye.
Check out his blog! - It's more frequently updated than mine.
