This is a place where I regularly post personal artwork, good, bad or indifferent.
The characters that crop up regularly in this blog are daughter – Flo, eldest son – Tom, second son – Hugo and third son – Xavier.
I'll try to reply wherever you comment but if I don't it's only because I'm overwhelmed with caring for my family and earning a living.
And talking about earning a living, if you need a good all round graphic designer please visit my business website to see if I can help you.
If you want to buy prints of anything you see here or have any requests please send an email to julie at julieoakleydesign dot com

Somehow 'i think not' sounds so much more polite and grown up than "Noooooooooooo."
He has learned good manners even in his contrariness.
I love that you do quick figure sketches all the time. I'm so inspired. They are so accurate, and interesting to look at--capturing something of the movement that a photo just cant.
Karen, his endearing phrases make up for the times he throws major tantrums (the last one in the supermarket with a box of eggs).
Christina, people, particularly people I know are a magnet for me - I think it was looking through old photos and finding that the tasteful beautifully composed scenic shots were so much less interesting than a blurry snapshot of of a long dead relative. I'm just so glad that I've started drawing my family - I've missed too much time already.
nice drawings!!
