Here are two quick examples of the designs I have been working on this week. One is based on the ford model T and the other on fishing.

All the backgrounds and images for these cards will be available soon from printable heaven.


Apologies for the poor quality photos and workmanship on the cards. I’m sure more skilled hands could make a vastly better job of it than me.

Pure Power

Today I have finished a design series called pure power. It is a series that can be used to create cards for lovers of petrol-powered machines.
It consists of an illustration of a motorcycle, which is loosely based on an older bike called a BSA Lightning.
I chose the Lightning because I usually find that the older style bikes and cars seem to have more character. I used the complimentary colours of red and green as they create a strong visual image. Plus the fact they are also in the Italian flag would, hopefully, help create a retro vesperish feel.

I have been trying to think up ideas for new illustrations that will appeal to a wide audience. Maybe fishing, maybe football. If anyone has any ideas, or comments about existing designs, please feel free to email me at willstilldesign@hotmail.co.uk
