Sealife/Crustaceans Series: Edible Crustaceans as Educational, Scientific Illustration

Personal work. Playing around with my crustacean series (so far!) Here they are complete with their Latin scientific names, such as those seen in textbooks and vintage scientific illustrations. 

I would like to add some mussels, winkles and maybe oysters too.

It seems these guys could be right at home both in a science book or on a quirky restaurant menu. 

What do you think?

Tempting Teatime Treats - Cakes, doughnuts and 'vintage' tea room classics

In an attempt to expand and enhance my portfolio, I have been working on some cafe - themed illustrations. I was inspired by a visit to a vintage fair that sprang up in a field just outside of the neighbouring town during the buzz of the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.

Here are some more of my drawings, I'm hoping to paint these too. With these, I have designed a menu-style layout that I hope I can complete for my website with all of the finished illustrations, (you can see this on my facebook page in the sketchbook folder!)
