Bit of a throwback this month to my first ever large format cut-paper collage and entry to the Wildlife Artist Of The Year Competition, for which I was a commended finalist. As I’m entering the competition again this year and about to start my entry, I’m hoping my Golden Eagle will be a good omen for the month.

Because I’ve been so busy this past month, barely able to take a breath between Bologna Book Fair deadlines, I’ve decided to use one of my older illustrations for this month’s desktop.
With bears starting to emerge from their winter hibernation, I also thought this illustration was quite appropriate too 🙂

My monthly desktops were originally designed to be a release from client work and a place to experiment, so I’m re-embracing this with the October desktop.
Working in collage, whether it be traditional or digital, is quite a slow medium to work with and I often miss the immediacy of drawing/mark making. This month’s desktop has given me a reason to play with an idea I’ve been thinking about for ages – mixing drawing and collage.
I had a lot of fun with this and am definitely looking forward to practicing and pushing this technique further.
