@whimsicallush artist’s #instatakeover over on @maggiespenguinparade ‘HOW IT’S MADE’ 💚🌿 #repost . . I love a time lapse. It makes me look like I am super fast at drawing... oh I wish! Ha! . . I’ve included a few for you that I thought you’d like, including drawing on paper, a window, a wall, an elephant and an Oor Wullie! I will draw on pretty much anything I come across (or at least give it a good shot!) . . My favourite tools are my fine liners and @posca_uk pens. 🖤 What are yours? . . #maggiespenguinparade #whimsicallush #illustration #dundee #timelapse #doodles #instaart #drawing #illustrator #artist #posca

Continuing with my @maggiespenguinparade #instatakeover today... head over to see the full album of piccies that go with the chat 🖤🐧🧡 . . #Repost @maggiespenguinparade with @get_repost ・・・ @whimsicallush back again for the artist’s #instatakeover 🐧I promised to tell you more about what I do in my last post... so I thought that I’d let the photos in this wee album tell you most of the stories! Do flick through... . . It pretty much just boils down to the fact that I love drawing and storytelling and working with people. My inky adventures have taken me on the most incredible journey over the last few years and I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who have supported me in doing what I love! . . I love my illustrations to become more than ink on paper when I can, so they pop up on #mugs, #notebooks, #stationary, #bags, #enamelpins and more. I love it when my art becomes functional and useful. . . All of my work tells a story and it’s great getting to help others tell their stories too through commissions. I’ve popped up pics of just some, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with @birdandbeardundee @brewdogdundee @portersgin @alechemybrewing @teapigs . . If you walk down to #SlessorGardens you will find bronze plaques celebrating some incredible Dundonians who gave us gifts of antihistamines, comics, flatscreentechnology and more at @discoverywalkdundee It’s been an honour to design the plaques and we unveil 5 more on 27th April 🖤 . . @maggiespenguinparade Is the third public art trail I’ve been involved in. I painted an elephant for #TheBigStampede and was the art co-ordinator for @oorwulliebuckettrail which was so much fun! . . I also love painting on doors and walls, having painted a door for @openclosedundee and walls for @gringos_perth @birdandbeardundee and some in people’s homes too. . . I’ve been honoured to have been asked to illustrate books for people, take part in markets, exhibitions and have recently been featured in @no1magazine as one of their #No1AWA ambassadors and enjoyed doing an interview with Living Magazine. . . So that’s sorta me in 10 pics! Ha ha! That was tricky! Hope I didn’t bore you! 😆 #maggiespenguinparade #whimsicallush

It’s only time to kick off our artist’s insta takeover over at @maggiespenguinparade 🖤 Only polite to go first right.. so here’s my wee face saying hello! Hi! 😘 Head over to our penguin tastic account to see more from me... and our awesome waffle of penguin artists! 🧡🐧 . . #Repost @maggiespenguinparade ・・・ Hi everyone! Suzanne here from @whimsicallush kicking off our artist’s #instatakeover 🐧 . . I’m one of the Maggie’s Penguin Parade art co-ordinators, alongside the lovely @joannemacfadyen 🧡 I’m also one of the Parade artists too! . . I’m a full time #artist/ #illustrator living and working in sunny #Dundee. I absolutely love living and working here. It’s always been an exciting, creative and inspiring city, which I’m super proud to be a part of. . . I’m lucky enough to say that I’ve worked on a few exciting projects over the last few years, including this huge hand painted #mural, which took around two weeks to complete. I’ll share some more of my work and projects in my next post.... . . See you in a wee while! . . #maggiespenguinparade #whimsicallush #meettheartist #illustration #maggiesdundee

#Repost @discoverywalkdundee 🖤 Today’s an exciting day! Today we got the first peek at the new @discoverywalkdundee plaques that are currently being cast down in #Liverpool by the brilliant folks at @photocast_products 🖤 Thanks Pol 😁 . . This is part of Pirie’s plaque. This Dundee doctor was one of the first in the world to use X-rays in medicine, although his prolonged exposure severely damaged his health. He was one of the international innovators honoured in the 1936 Hamburg memorial: “They were heroic pioneers for a safe and successful application of X-rays to medicine. The fame of their deeds is immortal.” . . Our artist Suzanne @whimsicallush took her inspiration for this corner from the #ScottishRadiologicalSociety’s logo as it represents ‘perfect flawless crystal cut to scintillate light. This symbolised the sun, the principal source of light and radioactivity.’ . . #discoverywalkdundee #whimsicallush #illustration #radiology #dundee #pirie

Isn’t this amazing! Can anyone guess what it is!? 💙 . . #dundee #mystery #colour #texture #pattern #whimsicallush #colour_collective

Hey #DelsonContracts! Thought that you, Charles and everyone else would like a wee #PenguinSneakPeek of our very dapper @maggiespenguinparade Penguin! . . It’s been a fun day learning new hat making skills up at #DundeeandAngusCollege with the very clever Chris from @creodesignwatches! Thanks so much for all your help Chris, couldn’t have done it without you! . . So that’s the hat structure in place, next stop fibre glass!! 😁 . . #maggiespenguinparade #dundee #whimsicallush #charlesjencks #maggiesdundee

Hat’s aff to what’s going to be a topper of a week! 🎩 . . This beautiful old #tophat made in #Glasgow was lent to me to use as a bit of a maquette for my first Penguin @maggiespenguinparade fun! (Thanks Susan xx) . . Watch this space for lots of top hat fun times... and to learning new skills with clever friends! . . Glasgow peeps... recognise the building on the box? Wouldn’t it be lovely if Carswell was still there making hats! 🖤🎩 . . #vintageclothing #vintagestyle #maggiespenguinparade #dundee #whimsicallush #penguinsneakpeek #PenguinInvasion
