_uacct = "UA-3950784-1"; urchinTracker(); A home for odds and ends of drawings I do, or links and things I like the look of. The illustrations here that I’ve done are ©Denise Wilton, but that doesn’t mean I wont let you do something with them, if you ask me nicely, and if they’re not client work. If you want to see what I actually do for a living then Styledeficit, or Kaius Design will give you more info.
