Doggy

Dogs are great aren't they? When I was young we had a mongrel (who was mainly Basset Hound) and he was a great character as he would literally sigh at me sometimes when I offered him a walk and would reluctantly get out off his cushion. He would also 'beg' people out of their armchairs by sitting in front of them and staring at them without blinking for an age until the pressure got too much and they moved.

My daughter now is desperate for a dog. It got me thinking about how things would be if she got a dog but he didn't do what dogs normally do.....

Fruity

While ordering some fruity T-shirts for my daughter, my son expressed disappointment that there were no 'boy' T-shirts for him (i.e. throwing himself on the floor in hysterics screaming APPLE WITH A FAAAAAACE). What could any doting mother do except design some of our own.


I really enjoyed it. I could have gone on forever. Vegetables with eyes seems to be my calling at the moment. Watch this space.

Hello teabreakers and procrastinators

At last (with a lot of help and friends speaking to me very s  l  o  w  l  y) I have the beginnings of a blog. How very exciting. So grab your biscuits and tea and lets have a natter.

It feels like we've gone back to winter this week, although it hasn't snowed at least. So I thought I'd share my little winter wonderland of a studio. Even in a damp and dreary March its a cosy little bubble of illustration and ramblings.

December 2010

March 2011 - yes the fires are still burning.

Sarah Warburton goes to Hollywood

Well not exactly myself, that's bending the truth an awful lot! Exciting news is that Dreamworks have unveiled the news that they will make an animated film based on the Rumblewick books by Hiawyn Oram and myself. It's exciting but slightly strange as their idea is to turn Rumblewick from a Cat to a Rabbit, which is very different from the books of course. So far I have had no input into this visually either - but what from I've read and heard I think the idea they have is a good one and could be great fun. If I hear more I'll let you know.
