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

Awww, this one's delightful! How are you both settling into the new school routine?
Collecting and noticing the tiniest of things is delightful - for a small child and even for grandmothers like me. I still pick up gum nuts and leaves.

Hashi, yesterday morning was very difficult - he was trying on the 'I'm sick so I don't need to go to school' routine. I asked about the symptoms and told him it was a 'psychological tummy ache' and that they usually get better five minutes after school starts but I would give the teacher strict instructions that she was to ring me and I would pick him up if the tummy ache wasn't any better. It was better this morning.
Wendy we are lucky that we have such a nice nature walk to school – he's going to know so much about natural history.
Julie, Lauren still tries that on, and she's nearly 10. But then she WILL go to the office and get them to call us. So we can't offer her that out. By her age it's "unless someone sees you vomit, you're staying in class."
excuses excuses, they never change, but a lovely sketch, hang in there Julie.
I have all sorts of strategies. When they are genuinely ill, I take care of them obviously, but I make it very boring. No TV or computers because they need to recover. That usually helps to make trying it on in the future less tempting.
How did I miss this one, Julie? It's precious! (And I hope your back is better by now...)
