BEST NINE OF 2018
The posts with the most Likes on my Binky McKee Illustration Instagram account this year! I particularly enjoyed Inktober this year, and Folktale Week was simply amazing. Nearly all the best nine above were associated in some way with Folktale Week, it was an inspired project by the organisers and really brought the illustration community together, making Instagram a much happier place for me.
I am so grateful for every single Like I receive - thank you if you are reading this and happen to be one of them!

Thanks for visiting, see you next week!

I love to make all my Christmas cards by hand. I like to produce two or three different designs. I also have a lot of birthdays in December, so birthday cards get made at the same time while the card-making tools are out. Altogether I made 100 cards on Friday and Saturday ready to write on Sunday and Monday to catch the last post before Christmas.

The highlight of this week was the installation of our upcycled stained glass window. Formed with elements taken from two windows originally made at Glasgow School of Art (we reckon c.1960), artist Mark Small pieced together a design based on Space Invaders.

Continuing autumnal themes on Binky's Instagram as we go into the darker days of the season, I have been keeping colours warm and deep with plenty of soft glowing tones. Oak trees are figuring prominently because we have piles of oak leaves blown around the garden, which I started drawing a couple of weeks ago. I was attracted by their broken shapes - some had little holes in them - and their beautiful colours which looked great against wet grey paths.
There is also a small cat helping crows to tidy the leaves - of course!

​Thanks for visiting, see you next week!

    As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)

    Candle-light shadows. I set up little 'night theatres' in my bedroom. As darkness falls, I light strategically placed candles and watch the plays begin. A perfect activity for the darkest days of winter.
