My latest book commission is now coming out, (date to be checked) published by The Folio Society- 'The Nursery Rhyme Book', edited by Andrew Lang. (It also contains the original black and white illustrations by the original artist from the first edition). Here's one illustration from it - 'Old Mother Goose', etching and aquatint. I worked on these earlier this year.<br />
My open studios this year will take place on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September, in South Wimbledon- more details to follow. I will have a copy of the book there for visitors to view.

It's mainly so I can offer my work printed on mugs, stickers and pouches etc! Here's the link-<a href="http://www.redbubble.com/people/debramcfarlane" target="_blank">http://www.redbubble.com/people/debramcfarlane</a> . I am hoping to join another print site soon, and offer prints, phone cases etc. Just trying this out, and making a small start in selling online!<br />

Here are some scans of the cover and livery I designed for the Easter issue of the Radio Times magazine. The artwork was completed by the end of March. The Easter livery runs across the top of the Easter Sunday and Easter Monday pages. All the artwork was done it watercolour. Some slight adjustments were made to the cover artwork before it was printed, to increase brightness and make room for text. I was so excited to be given both of these commissions!Debra McFarlanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11958709640011457859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7055570196777603929.post-89900106768411288032015-03-31T06:26:00.002-07:002015-03-31T06:26:57.192-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've recently designed the cover of the Easter issue of the Radio Times! It's out now, and I will post a proper scan of it, on the magazine, as soon as I'm able to.<br />
I also illustrated the Easter livery running along the top and sides of the Easter Sunday and Monday pages. More pictures to follow...<br />
It was great to be asked to do these jobs!

I thought I should post it here even though it is March now. This was a nice brief to do. It was for a new collection of radio plays, based on Beatrix Potter's stories, but brought up to date. I was asked to show some of the characters gathered around an old fashioned cabinet radio in the snow, as if they are listening to it. This was done in watercolour, with a little pen and ink on the characters. It was fun to do, and it was a very short deadline which I managed (just about)!<br />
Here is a copy of the original artwork, and also below it a file of the illustration in place on the page.<br />

The Open Studios weekend at my studios takes place on the 21st-22nd September, 12-6pm, with a Private View on Friday 20th, 6-9pm. The studios are at Palace Wharf, 56 Rainville Road, Hammersmith, W6 9HS. You can find us on Facebook, as Palace Wharf Studios. <br />
Over 30 artists work in this building, and most of them will be opening their doors to the public that weekend. It is part of the London Open City events programme.<br />
I will be showing small prints.

It was a fantasic experience, and I feel I really gained a lot by doing it. Artists came from all over the world to take part- from the USA, Canada,and the UK. The Scuola is an excellent centre for Printmaking and Book Arts,with a well equipped print room, a studio (and separate accomodation) for resident artists, and lovely friendly, helpful staff. They are currently looking for more illustrators to take part in the year-round residencies (please see their website for further details if interested).<br />
Whilst there I did some copper plate etchings, and started doing collographs again (in a slightly more experimental way, having watched a workshop).I also started a piece on wood...<br />
The work that I started there is ongoing, and I am currently working on more etchings and collographs based on the trip,alongside my new commission- even though I may not have finished as many plates as I hoped to while there! I hope to do some more imaginative pieces combining my memories of the city, and stories of its past.<br />
I think that the inspiration and ideas I gained there will influence my work for a long time to come...<br />

This is one finished plate; a copperplate etching with aquatint, showing the view from the back studio of the Scuola. I didn't work by this window, (another artist did) but I went to visit it to see the view often!<br />
Below are some sketches that I did there, when the weather was good...(I thought I had better make the most of it, while I could)<br />
