Please can you introduce yourself and tell us the inspiration behind your Gromit design?
Hi, my name is Lisa Hassell, and i'm an artist / designer, writer and founder of illustration showcase Inkygoodness! After living in Bristol for several years (and plans to move back one day!) I currently live and work in Birmingham where I juggle freelance projects and raising my son. My Gromit design is made up of colourful arrangements of swirling lines, organic shapes and contrasting patterns and textures, inspired by nature & my love of colour. I had a lot of fun creating the design which I think shows through in the final artwork. I sat down with a pen and knocked it out in a few hours, colouring it digitally with photoshop. 
How was it creating a 3d dog?
Absolutely brilliant, but also a little terrifying! It's the first time I have painted anything on that scale, and I quickly realised that my original design was too ambitious – the combination of colours, intricate details and layering of paint required on the Gromit meant that I had to take the decision to scale it back a little – otherwise I would never have got him finished! It probably took about 3 weeks of intensive work, and plenty of late nights near the end – I barely slept the night before he was collected! I loved every minute of it – the project has been a fantastic experience, and visiting him in Bristol was a very special moment for me. The variety and quality of the Gromit's on the trail is incredible, and I'm very proud to be involved.
