Here be Dragons!! 🐲🔥

I’ve just finished working on a brilliant project illustrating and designing the characters and cover art for Wilson brand new book “Dragon Farm”.

Not only have I been creating the artwork for this, but I also got to work with my partner in crime and creativity Claire Scott Digital Marketing who has created a fabulous website to go along with the book. She’s used her web design expertise along with some of my artwork, to really bring it all to life.

Look out for more to come, but this really has been a thoroughly enjoyable project to work on.

The importance of failing fast!

This week I failed. 🤦‍♂️

Last week I had set myself a challenge to post a new every day.

But after just two days, I’ve not kept up with it. Why? Well because it’s been ridiculously busy with client work, and that always takes priority!

Am I kicking myself? Am I chastising myself because of it? No, not at all. Life happens.

Even with the best intentions, life sometimes takes us off the course we set ourselves.

The key to handling all of life and business’s ups and downs is to learn to fail fast and move on quickly. That’s it.

I wouldn’t call sacrificing my self imposed challenge to complete a couple of big client projects a “fail” tbh. I’d say that was a win!

So whatever happens that feels like a derailment, no matter how big or small, fail fast and move on quickly. That’s how we build resilience in business and how we get back to what we love to do.

No judgement, no self flagellating, just reset and move on.

Be more like Derek the dragon here, make a cuppa, collect your thoughts and crack on with your day!

As it's spooky season, I thought I'd do a series of "Haunted Hatchings". 👻

I'll be drawing a new little spooky doodle, each day, to flood your feed with human made, macabre masterpieces! 🎃

This is the first in that series.

I love this quote by the 19th Century American poet, Emily Dickinson.

What's your best halloween/spooky quote? Drop it in the comments.

I love editorial and print design! ❤️ 📖

There's something really lovely about creating a tangible product.

Too often these days, a design will end up being displayed on a screen, but designing things that can be held, touched, smelled, heard and experienced, that's where the real
joy is!

Here's 'Legacy Ledger" a business magazine which was designed by Claire Scott Digital Marketing and me.

There's a lot of work that goes into bringing something like this to life; you need a great team, a keen eye for detail and a vision of what you want your readers to feel and experience.

Check out the full legacy ledger magazine here https://legacyledgermag.com/

If you'd like to appear in the next issue, to write an article, to advertise your business or to learn more about the SEEDS Community, please reach out to Vanessa-Mary.

If you'd like to create your own magazine, editorial piece, booklet, book or comic, drop me
a message. 🙂 ✏️

It's Friday again, that means it's time to challenge yourself, and activate the creative being within.

So here is this week's Creative Challenge, and it's a simple one;

✏️ When you're out and about over the weekend, take a picture of an inanimate object that looks sad. 😥

It could be a lonely looking leaf, a lost toy, or even a potato that looks like it has a sad face. Whatever the object, take a picture and post it here on this thread over the weekend.

My favourite will get showcased on Monday, and the business will get promoted across my socials. 😊

Have fun.

Today is NOT "hump day! 🤦‍♂️

It's Wednesday, or more accurately, Woden's Day.

The English name for today comes from Old English 'Wōdnesdæg' literally 'The day of Woden (Odin). The Romans associated the same day with the god Mercury, which is why Italian, French and Spanish all refer to Mercury in their word for Wednesday.

Weirdly, Welsh seems to be the only other language than those named above, which seems to have clung on to the Romanised Mercury connection, with their word for Wednesday being 'Dydd Mercher' literally meaning "Mercury's Day".

Both Odin and Mercury are associated with wisdom, magick, poetry, knowledge, communication, crossing boundaries, death and travel. This probably made it easier for the Germanic Woden to overlay easily onto the Roman Mercury.

During the 18th Century, Wednesday was considered to be a pretty ominous day, with misfortune and bad luck being associated with it, as a result, the day had strong ties to superstition and witchcraft.

Woden/Odin, is said to have sacrificed an eye in the pursuit of the knowledge of the runes.
Today is known as the "Seeker's day", So it's a great day for aquiring knowledge, to learn something new, a new skill, learn how to use some new software, practise a new art form, read a new book, or try something different.

You don't have to sacrifice an eye for it tho! 😆 👀

Is your branding making your business look cheaper than it is?

If your branding appears chaotic, inconsistent, sloppy or the same as everyone else in your sector, then it can appear unprofessional and could be putting your clients off.

Sometimes the reasons for this are easy to correct, without a having to pay for a costly rebrand.

So here are 5 reasons your brand is making your brand look cheap, and what to do about them!
