Little Groot Plush Toys
Do you need a Little Groot in your life?
I have 2 new Little Groot Plush toys for sale at Oz Comic-Con Melbourne this weekend!
These are my own design and handmade by me for the convention. They are made from cream fleece with quality green fabric paint shading. The eye detail and leaves are hand cut felt. They have black plastic safety eyes and hand embroidered smiles.
The stand about 21cm tall which is roughly what I could estimate as”life size” from GotG2.
New Ripley/Alien Prints
New Ripley/Alien Print!
This piece is for my dear friend Ellen- keep going, keep fighting.
I wanted try to create a tribute to the 1979 Alien film but I felt that the soft romantic Art Nouveau style that I love wouldn’t be appropriate. But the style of Aubrey Beardsley and H.R. Giger’s Xenomorphs had a certain harmony.
Knowing that both artist studied architecture I found inspiration for the composition in the depictions of St George in church windows.
I will have a limited number of A3 posters of this piece at Oz Comic-con Melbourne on July 1-2. Find me at Table 66 near the “Comic District”.
Fairytale “Jewel Thief”
This idea started out as a concept for a new web banner combining symbols from classic fairytales. As I work on it more it developed into its own story of a fairy thief and a magic glowing jewel.
I slowly worked on inking this image a bit at a time in a quiet moment or two as a way to relax amongst all of the events of the last few months.
I still need to make a new web banner but I enjoyed the journey this piece took.
“Mermay” Eel Mermaid Sketch
I didn’t want to May to finish before I did at least one #mermay drawing! This is a blue color pencil and pen sketch of eel like mermaid concept that might feature in the comic I’ve started.
I think I still need to refine the character more working on the balance of alluring but frightening.

Godzilla Plush
I designed and made this cute little Godzilla plush as a Christmas present for a friend who has everything. The plush would be roughly 30cm tall (I forgot to measure the finished plush once it was finished) made from grey-ish green fleece with grey felt claws and back spikes. There are plastic “beans” in the feet and bottom to help him sit up right and give him weight. The eyes are made with embroidered gold glitter felt.
I am thinking of simplifying this pattern to make smaller Godzilla plushies to sell in my shop and at my upcoming events.
Pair of Red & Gold Wedding Lion Dance Plush Toys
I was honoured to be asked to create a pair of Lion Dance plushies for a friend’s sister’s wedding. I am particularly proud of these toys, not only because I think they turned out really well but because I had only a week to make them both!
Made in lucky red and gold they are approx. 20cm long based on my existing pattern but with extra large heads to make them more “chibi”.
Like the previous lions they have silver faux leather mirrors on their foreheads and red felt “fringe” embroidered on the body and legs.
For these plushies I included extra pom pom details to the nose and head. The feet have been re-enforced with plasticard for balance and stability.
The plush lions were presented to the bride and groom in a very special lion dance performance.
