Above: detail of a finished poster, and soon-to-be greeting card.
Above: the sketch and the sailor completely naked, with just his working-man tan lines on show. I always have a conniption before I start, and have to make cups of tea or do something really important like looking for ideas that I don't need anymore --you know -- just in case.
Above: cup of tea provided rescue (and as usual is only half drunk) and the sailor man is nearly done. Phew!
Above: cut out in Photoshop -- the completed poster. The little wooden man himself (sans Photoshop) will be in the shop too: as soon as I work out how to fix the blade on my fancy saw.

I think I'm a bit in love with the one handed sailor (especially with the way the mermaid's hair flips around his neck and caresses his shoulders)! And I completely understand the need to look for ideas that I don't need anymore -- just in case. I'm a master of such things! Hope you fix your saw soon.
Hello Helen! Good to hear from you. I'm very pleased that you like the sailor, and especially the mermaid. I can report that blades have been found for the saw finally and that it should soon be back on track. Thank you!
oh my...so so cute.....singing and skipping...jo
He is just stunning! He makes me want to do a jig and talk all piratey matey and such. jx
Hee hee! Thanks Jo and Jen, I think we could all do a little jig!!
Excellent, a jig club!... I'm liking it! I've just noticed how her arms come off the chest and wrap around the back of his arms. Lovely detail.
Thanks Helen! I think a jig club would help prevent sore backs in all of us. Your blog + work are looking an ABSOLUTE TREAT Lady. ;)
