<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Just popping in to share a recent commission with you. This was a personal commission from a friend to give as a gift and although it was completely out of my comfort zone, </span><span style="color: #999999;">it was really fun to illustrate and I am very thankful to be given the opportunity to work on something so different! (I loved all the detail that needed to be included). I've been told the recipient was really happy with it which is always wonderful to hear. </span><span style="color: #999999;">I hope you like it too!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Back again! I've made a promise to myself that I'll definitely keep on top of my blogging and illustrating this year, so expect to see a lot more of me!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">These two illustrations, showing sales managers stood in front of important local landmarks, were produced for a London Estate Agents last spring. They were used on flyers and in shop windows to help advertise the company in the local area. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I'm very late to the party but... Happy New Year you wonderful lot!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I'm finally getting around to sharing these illustrations I finished for an advertising campaign early last year. The two illustrations were completely out of my comfort zone (no detailed fashion or portraits in sight!) and took many painstaking and stressful hours of work. I absolutely loved the challenge though. I definitely gained a lot from the experience and can proudly say the prospect of drawing crowds no longer fills me with fear - I had no idea where to start and when I finally realised how I could make it work, the feeling was amazing (such relief!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">The client was a London Estate Agents who, using happenings in the property market, predicted that March (last year) would be the prime time to put a house on the market. They wanted to use large-scale, famous events in March (Cheltenham Races & The Boat Race) to help steer their campaign. The first event was Cheltenham Race Festival, for which a tagline "put your house on the market, it'll be a one horse race..." was to be used.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">It was great to have the opportunity to work on such an unusual (for me anyway!) brief. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I had quite a lot of freedom in the initial stages, drawing up a number of roughs and working with the in-house designer to finalise a rough to take to colour. Even the colour took me away from the illustration work I've become accustom to. </span><span style="color: #999999;">The hardest part for me was being unable to use the detail I work into my portraits with the crowd. It would have been completely unfeasible so this meant forcing myself to work almost in the opposite way, using as little detail as possible but, at the same time, maintaining my own personal style.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">(Below are some of the rough workings I drew out before we decided upon the final imagery).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">The second poster was for The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. Again with this piece, I needed the context to be true to life (both of these events take place at the same places every year so needed to be somewhat recognisable). This meant researching the course and trying to produce imagery that wasn't going to be a million miles away from what we would see in person. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I loved illustrating the houses and incorporating texture - I think that was definitely my favourite part of this illustration. It was the boat and the crowd again that I found the hardest to get my head around.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I was really happy with the way both the illustrations turned out - I hope you like them too! </span><span style="color: #999999;">Tomorrow I will be sharing two portrait illustrations I completed for the same company so check back to see them. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I'm very excited and happy to reveal an illustration I recently produced for <a href="http://meganclaire.co.uk/">Megan Claire</a>. I've been a big fan of her cards and prints for some time and was thrilled when she commissioned me to illustrate Santa Claus himself to be sent out as <a href="http://meganclaire.co.uk/product/personalised-letter-from-santa-1/">Personalised Santa Letters</a>! I had so much fun putting this piece together, challenging myself and working with unfamiliar subject matter (that tree was certainly out of my comfort zone but the feeling when I completed it, to a standard I felt proud of, was amazing). I even had <a href="http://mrnicolini.blogspot.co.uk/">Mr Nicolini</a> posing for me for this special piece!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Hi everybody! I wanted to get some personal portrait work fitted in between jobs, mostly in order to challenge and keep myself motivated, but partly because I thought it was about time I had something new to show! It can be painful waiting to reveal new work that is yet to be live.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">One thing I really love about portrait illustration is creating that likeness and I know, for me, this improves over time and the more I do the better I feel the outcome is. This is why I like to keep illustrating and creating pieces for myself when I have no commissions to work on. Practise really does make perfect. I love private and family portrait commissions because creating something completely personal to them and hearing of their delight is such a wonderful feeling. At the same time, I enjoy illustrating famous figures and attempting to capture a likeness that audiences can recognise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">So I decided, for my latest personal piece, to illustrate somebody particularly topical, Margaret Thatcher. I haven't illustrated her as a way to show my thoughts and opinions on her or the subject, but merely to keep my work current and a challenge to myself. </span></div>

I've been so impressed with the work I have received so far; if you would like to take part, please do not hesitate to get in contact! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Next week I'm going to get back to work on this illustration that has been put aside for some time now. Excited to continue!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Hello everybody! It's been some time since I posted, so Happy New Year! I've been quite busy over the last couple of months so haven't had much time for blogging. I just wanted to pop in to share some of my latest work to be published. I produced this illustration of Ugandan fashion designer, <a href="http://www.gloriawavamunno.com/">Gloria Wavamunno</a>, to accompany an article on one of her favourite places, Buganda Road Craft Market in Kampala.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">I illustrated this some time ago now, so it's quite nice to look back at it and share it with you now it's been published. You can find out more about Arise Magazine and it's content <a href="http://www.ariselive.com/">here</a>.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">I'm busy working on an exciting new project at the moment and I cannot wait to share more information with you. I'll be working on this until March so it may be a slightly long wait! In the meantime i'm working hard on the <a href="http://abbywrightillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/drawing-mr-nicolini.html">Mr Nicolini</a> blog as well. I'll be launching this on his birthday, February 5th, so keep your eyes peeled! :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">So, as many of you may have seen on twitter, last week I was commissioned by <a href="http://observer.guardian.co.uk/">The Observer</a> to create an illustration that would accompany a round up of the best books of 2012. You can read the article online <span style="color: #93c47d;"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/nov/25/books-of-the-year-2012">here</a></span>. When my agent, <a href="http://www.rarebirdlondon.com/">Kelly</a> (who I cannot thank enough for making my dreams come true)</span> <span style="color: #999999;">rang me to tell me about the commission, I was in complete shock. Doing an illustration for a big national newspaper like this has been a dream for a while. The deadline was incredibly tight, but I proved to myself that i can do it. I love illustrating so much!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I loved the brief as well - they asked for a young woman reading in a winter scene. When they suggested she should be wearing a hat, scarf and winter coat I was even more excited. They</span> <span style="color: #999999;">also said they wanted it to be cold and not too girly. I loved the opportunity to experiment a bit with background elements, something I usually steer clear of, and really challenge myself. I hope you like the final piece. I don't think I've ever been more proud of an illustration. I also want to say a massive thank you to everyone for all your lovely comments, it means so much to me. So here it is!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Just thought I would share a couple of the roughs with you. After sending the first rough, the art director asked that I added some books amongst the trees on the left, just to add a little more interest in the corner. I really love how this addition worked out!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">This adorable baby has been printed and is on it's on the way to Holland this morning. How exciting! I've just finished the draft illustration for my biggest client yet.

<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Hello! I'm here to share an idea for a new</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999;">blog with you all and hope some of you will be able to help me make this little dream a reality!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999;">Mr Nicolini, or Nick as he's known to most, came to live with my parents more than thirty years ago. He's been a lodger with my family since then and is still living with my mum and feeding the cats to this day. He soon become another Grandad, and an extremely important member of our immediate family. Whenever I go home he spoils me as much as ever and proudly tells those we meet I'm his granddaughter. Hearing him speak so fondly of me, my sisters and brother fills me with happiness. He's a giant part of our lives and I love him dearly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnqxhmYEUZ6sJJCKk9z3Vyz853ZKRfwlNaSoyBYofb31XMuXuhJbeh1XQg4o3_QB1JHpy9IeYmtV5VT56l5tOTW8T2jHe07TkerKPc6oZpL36oCtaJyk-0SRVv3fBLLJMZSH2q3b8ss7UU/s1600/nick6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">When I return home, I always take photographs of him (he's quite the character!). After posting an image on Instagram and saying how much I'd love to illustrate him, it was suggested that I start a blog, sharing illustrations of him by myself and lots of other wonderful illustrators. I think it's a great idea! Of course, if you're not an illustrator but a creative who would still like to join in, I would love to hear your ideas! He's battling illness at the moment and getting frail, and, as you can imagine, this terrifies me. I think this is a great way to not only honour his fantastic nature, but to make sure he is always remembered and never forgotten. Who knows, maybe we can make him a little bit famous.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="color: #999999;">It would be great to have a mix of different styles! I think he'd love it! </span>I know illustrating the elderly has always been a favourite of mine and if you'd like to get involved in this little venture please get in contact! I'm not sure of the exact details, but I think 'Drawing Mr Nicolini' (the name may change, suggestions are welcome!) could be a fun way of getting lots of fantastic illustrators together, both new and more established illustrators in the same place. I love seeing participation blogs! You can leave a message here, <span style="color: #93c47d;"><a href="https://twitter.com/abbyillustrator">tweet me</a></span>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Abby-Wright-Illustration/202346149781937">facebook me</a> or send me an email to <span class="go">drawingmrnicolini@gmail.com.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Hello everybody! I'm really busy at the moment - mostly with some lovely custom portrait illustrations. I can't wait to share them once I've finished. In case you are curious about commissioning your own custom illustration, you can purchase one <span style="color: #93c47d;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AbbysIllustrations">here</a></span>! As well as the illustrating, I've been attending interviews (I will soon be starting a part time job at Paperchase - perfect!) and have started working for <span style="color: #93c47d;"><a href="http://www.meganclaire.co.uk/">Megan Claire</a></span>. You can see my previous post about their wonderful work <a href="http://abbywrightillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/megan-claire.html">here</a>. I'll be helping out in the busy run up to Christmas. Things are going very well work wise! I feel very lucky.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> As well as this, I've always got time for a little photography! And <a href="http://abbywrightillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/i-love-instagram.html">Instagram</a> is making me want to take more and more. I've been taking pictures of things that inspire me and make me happy. Quite simple really.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Hello everybody! I just wanted to drop in with a quick post on what has been inspiring me today. Before that, I just wanted to let you know that I have just completed a new magazine illustration commission. I can't wait to post and share the piece, not only did I absolutely love working on it but I'm really proud of how it turned out. It's my favourite in some while!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">So, whilst I was away with my mum last week, I decided to install Instagram on my phone. I absolutely love photography, so I decided it was about time! I wasn't sure how I'd take to it but it's safe to say I'm addicted! It's making me appreciate those especially beautiful everyday things even more. Here are some of my photos from the last week or so...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I'd love to follow some more people, so let me know if you're there! You can find me under my twitter name - abbyillustrator. Let me know what you think! You can expect beautiful & inspiration bits & bobs, and of course many animals!! </span></div>

Hello everybody! Sorry it's been a bit slow here recently!</div>
<div style="color: #999999; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #999999; text-align: center;">
I've just finished my latest custom portrait illustration. I was
commissioned by the lovely <a href="http://abbywrightillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/new-work-man-his-kitten.html"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Emma</span> </a>for a second time, this time to
illustrate her best friends to give as a wedding present.</div>

What an
amazing task and responsibility! I loved illustrating this piece,
especially that dress! There's a close up of some of the detail below. I actually really love more intricate work like this. As always, I think I prefer this piece in print form. I'll try to update this with a printed picture soon! <span style="color: #999999;">I'll be back with more work very soon! Have a lovely week in the meantime!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Well my time at <a href="http://www.rarebirdlondon.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">Rare Bird</a> has come to an end. It's been such a wonderful experience, seeing behind the scenes and learning what goes on day to day in an illustration agency. The second week consisted of blogging, organising and uploading images, making homepage amendments, portfolio building and creating PDF pages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I loved my time here and would return in an instance. I think working part time in an agency would be the perfect sideline as an illustrator. Not only was I surrounded by incredible illustration that has inspired me to produce some self initiated portraits, but interning here has given me real insight into how an agency works. Maybe I will be back soon... Here is some of my work from the week (including front page editing and blogging)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I really enjoyed </span><span style="color: #999999;">(yes, I'm sad...) </span><span style="color: #999999;">cropping and organising images to go on the front page and be used as thumbnails throughout the illustrators' pages. I guess attention to detail is an important part of life as an illustrator!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I absolutely love the above image from illustrator <a href="http://www.paulxjohnson.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">Paul X. Johnson</a>. Working at Rare Bird has allowed me to familiarise myself with the other illustrators' work and Paul is a definite favourite. His work is both striking and inspiring. I especially love this cover for Little White Lies.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Well, as I quickly mentioned earlier, next week I will be working on a new project. It will be portraits based on some familiar faces. I'm excited & can't wait to share them with you! Have a lovely weekend, we're hoping to make a spontaneous camping trip. Yay! </span></div>

I'm really excited to be able to share my latest piece of work, a commercial commission brought to me by my agent, <a href="http://www.rarebirdlondon.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">Rare Bird</a>. I was asked to illustrate the front cover (yes, front cover!) of the latest <a href="http://issuu.com/redactive/docs/midwives-412?mode=window&backgroundColor=%23222222?http://issuu.com/redactive/docs/midwives-412?mode=window&backgroundColor=%23222222" style="color: #93c47d;">issue</a> of <a href="http://www.rcm.org.uk/midwives/" style="color: #93c47d;">Midwives Magazine</a>, the magazine for The Royal College of Midwives. The illustration was based on an article looking at the issue of women not being able to give birth in the way they chose and feeling "locked out" of natural home births. I loved the brief, creating a beautiful home birth scene of a new family. It was a little scary, but perfect for my style. I was helped greatly and given great freedom with the piece. I hope you like my illustration!</div>
<div style="color: #999999; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #999999; text-align: center;">
I started with the central illustration but loved bringing it all together with the door and detailed features, such as the screws. I wanted to add colour to the illustration, so decided to do this using the baby's blanket. I found the most perfect blanket on Little Woollie's blog. <a href="http://littlewoollie.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/mixed-stripey-blanket-end-tadah.html" style="color: #93c47d;">This</a><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span>beautifully crocheted blanket was the inspiration for my illustrated version. I love the colour and patterns and really enjoyed reading about the <span style="color: #93c47d;">process</span> and seeing the initial sketches too. Thank you Julie for allowing me to use your blanket in my work!</div>

<span style="color: #999999;">Well, as you may know, I have been with my new illustration agency, <a href="http://www.rarebirdlondon.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">Rare Bird</a>, for a few months now. <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/kellyfysh" style="color: #93c47d;">Kelly Fysh</a>, an illustration agent with 11 years experience, started up the agency on her own and so far I am very happy to be involved in her new venture. She's wonderful to work with and my first job was fantastic. (It isn't live yet, but I will blog about it when it is!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I've been very lucky to intern with Kelly this week and have loved seeing behind the scenes. So far I've helped with the first big postal promotion campaign, sending out limited edition postcard and magazine packs to editorial, advertising and marketing agencies and compiling the artist portfolios. It's been great seeing how it all works and especially wonderful to see so much beautiful artwork and hear about ongoing projects. I will be back fro a second week the week after next, this time I will be working on the website, blog, newsletters and more portfolio work. Exciting! I will also take some more photographs that we can share on <a href="https://twitter.com/rarebirdlondon" style="color: #93c47d;">Rare Bird's twitter feed</a>.</span></div>

Hello all! Sorry I've been a little quiet on the blogging front - I've just returned from a weeks holiday in Cornwall. I'll come back to that in a moment!</div>
<div style="color: #999999; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I'll be blogging about some new work soon, I'm really excited to share it with you! I received the commission through my <a href="http://www.rarebirdlondon.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">agent</a> a few weeks ago. It will be published (a little clue for you!) soon and then I can share it with you. I wasn't sure how having an agent would work out, but so far, so very good! It's given me such a confidence boost in my work too. I'm feeling very positive and looking forward to a new working week!</span> <span style="color: #999999;">(Although that isn't stopping me wishing i was still on holiday!)</span> <span style="color: #999999;">I've also got a new personal commission to share soon too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">So back to the holiday! We stayed at a really beautiful and friendly campsite close to the beautiful fishing village of <a href="http://www.mevagissey.net/" style="color: #93c47d;">Mevagissey</a> (in mid Cornwall). I used to come here with my family as a child and couldn't wait to come back and show Mat too. We had a great time. The weather was a little disappointing with rain and wind, however most days were cloudy but calm and we did manage to go swimming in the outdoor pool most days and even got sun burnt one day! So, we were lucky compared to the constant rain recently! While we were in Cornwall, we visited other areas too, including Lands End (got to once, i guess) and St Ives. St Ives is truly beautiful and one we'll definitely be going back to soon! Most of our holiday was spend eating cream teas, ice creams and fish shop chips! Lots of reading, relaxing and playing cards as well, the perfect week away just the two of us. It was actually our fist proper holiday just with us. Before we've gone with friends or just for weekends away. This was wonderful! And on the way back we visited my Grandad in Devon who Mat had never met. It was the perfect end the to the week. </span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">On Saturday, it was our six year anniversary!! It was partly this reason that we decided to go away last week, the perfect build up and celebration to our anniversary. We had so much wonderful quality time and I find that with work, we don't get to really talk properly at home, so all this time with just us, all day was amazing. I love him so much and a little more each day. And, if all goes to plan, we will be married this time in two years! Exciting :) I got a <a href="http://www.meganclaire.co.uk/" style="color: #93c47d;">Megan Claire</a> sentiments card to give to Mat. I love it! Means nothing to others, but the world to us! Thank you Megan, he loved it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I just wanted to bring you a little update on the flower illustration I'm working on. I'm very happy with how it's coming along but work has halted due to an exciting commercial illustration I have just been commissioned to do this week. I'll let you know about that when it's done and published! I love the subject though, it's just the direction I'm enjoying at the moment :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;"> I would love to hear your thoughts on this illustration. It will be ready shortly and as soon as it is, it will be available as a limited edition print. There are other prints available in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AbbysIllustrations" style="color: #93c47d;">Etsy</a><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span>shop at the moment. Or<span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span><a href="http://folksy.com/shops/AbbysIllustrations" style="color: #93c47d;">Folksy</a>, if you prefer!</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">I was delighted when <a href="http://abbyrosedesign.carbonmade.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">Abby Wiltshire</a> commissioned me to illustrate a picture of her lovely dog, Evie. She's absolutely gorgeous and although I was a little terrified about drawing all that fluffiness, I'm very happy with the results. I hope you like it too!</span></div>
