I was framing a couple of illustrations yesterday and in the box that passes for my artwork storage I came across a little ink sketch that fit a spare frame I had lying around. Framing is tedious, expensive and time consuming and my wallspace is minimal so things don’t often make it under glass but it’s kind of nice when they do. I haven’t had a lot of time to make art that is meant to be the sort that hangs on the wall. The few large pieces destined for retail applications are very commercial, and other work has been for alternative applications or book art, so doing something that has no other purpose than to hang on a wall is rather novel. It’s also nice to work on a subject that’s purely my own choice and for my own amusement.

about the blog
Inkonwove is a blog by me, illustrator/designer Kirsti Wakelin.
This blog contains a sample of much of the things that go into my working life. With everything from notifications on work added to my illustration and design portfolio, to work-in-progress and process sketches, pages from my sketchbook, odds and ends that interest me, the occasional non-art related ramble or up-close and personal photographs of invertebrates, Inkonwove is a kind of artistic junk drawer.
I also maintain another blog over at My Secret Elephant where the work I do for children's books, and everything about that subject, ends up.
