Our new neighbours: a small herd of highland cattle have moved into the conservation area close to where we live, and I've been spending some time drawing them.

wraparound design:
Did you know beetles account for 25% of all lifeforms on earth? And they have been on the planet for nearly 300 million years? And there are around 350,000 known species of beetle?
Those are the three same facts that come up on every website about beetles. Little else appears to be known about them. What keeps them awake at night, which of their family members is their favourite, what slender tomes rest upon their tiny bookshelves, and exactly what prompted them to choose a herbivorous lifestyle...the psychology of our little exoskeletal friends forever remains a mystery to us. Only Kafka came close to understanding their tiny beetle minds, yet he too couldn't resist stamping on poor Gregor Samsa.
Ahem.
I've just added some new designs to my Society6 shop - (and if you click to use this promo code specifically designed for people who like beetles (http://bit.ly/1vQzkSA) you get free worldwide shipping until Sunday 12th October, wuhu!)
