Something Fishy

I am in the middle of a few projects at the moment,
and haven't really got anything to show you...
So I thought I'd let you see some more of my silly fish,
like the ones in my header. I have a whole range of silly fish.
They are for my greeting card range called
'Something Fishy'. I need to go back to them sometime.

(Just noticed that I seem to favour the left facing fish.

They suffer from the same directional problem as my birds!)

Here's a couple of corny jokes...
What happened to the shark who swallowed a bunch of keys ?
He got lockjaw !
What do you get from a bad-tempered shark ?
As far away as possible
...and now, let me suffer you to a limerick!
There was a young fish named Belushi,
Who was terribly bossy and pushy,
One day he pushed too far,
And was caught in a jar,
Now he's on someones plate as some Sushi!

This last image is my Something Fishy Logo Fish

  3. I love your fish and I don't mind that they suffer from "left-ism" because after all, it's their best side - just ask them and they will confirm what I am saying! lol

  8. You crack me up Doda!

    I too favour the left facing fish/birds/horses etc when drawing. Come to think of it, I favour going left when rollerskating as well - couldn't quite co-ordinate the leg cross-overs when cornering right.

    They are just delightful - love that use of colour!

  11. Doda,
    I saw your question on mayamade about using paints on stamps, and I have done that for some time now and have had good luck using cosmetic sponges (dabbing on until totally covered) and foam rollers (not too wet and roll until totally covered) I hope this helps.
