A family portrait

I have another new illustration! The idea for this has been in my head for years, it's just taken a long time to get it out. It's about capturing a moment we're all familiar with, that moment just before you get a photo taken. Mum's making sure her fur is in place whilst keeping an eye on her son, who is hoping she doesn't notice he's picking his nose. Dad's trying to get the other boy to stand next to him but he just wants to climb on his lap and the little girl hates having her picture taken and is not very happy (yep, that's me). I always pictured the family in olden days dress as I've always been kind of fascinated with old black and white family portraits, they are so formal and everyone looks so serious that I often wondered about the moments before and after they were taken. This is the photo of me with my big brother that I always had in the back of my mind when thinking about this image and is the inspiration for the girl bunny :)

I'll have this illustration available as a greeting card at Eveleigh Market on Sunday and also as a canvas print and print on paper. I'll be doing a shop update over the next couple of weeks to add the new illustrations as well as Christmas cards and Christmas gift tags. I have a couple of new Christmas illustrations too so I'm looking forward to sharing those with you soon x
