It’s been a while and sooo much has happened… so I thought it was time I did a new Phoebe, especially being Christmas! Then, as I was thinking about snorkels, it hit me… it’s been 10 years since Phoebe first appeared as a rough sketch on paper. In that time she has evolved from a messy headed lost soul finding her way through the dark into a spiritual guru following the path of enlightenment… or is that me?! Thank you Phoebe for all your whimsical wisdom and humorous twists as we found our way back on track. I say ‘we’ because Phoebe is me on the inside - my soul, my inner voice, my true self. Without Phoebe appearing when I needed help, I’m not sure I would have made it this far. She has been my guiding light, the one true thing that sparked my creative spirit and lit it up like a fire cracker.
SO enough of that! Here’s my latest Phoebe… a Christmasy tribute to the very first Phoebe illo I ever did on the 1st of November 2011 which if you’re into number sequences, was 1.11.11. Freaky? Maybe! Or it was meant to be… the beginning of a 10 year journey to find my true self, my heart and happiness. Anyway, here it is… story and all.
