A little inspiration - Vogue Covers

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!

I've been looking through my Vogue Covers book this morning. I came away feeling really inspired and wanted to share that with you!

 

I love illustrated covers. That would probably be the dream. Maybe one day we'll see them again, I think they add something truly unique and beautiful to the magazine. Here's hoping!

Promotional Work

Just popping in with a quick post!

Yesterday I was working on some promotional postcards, so thought I would come and share them with you! I'm planning to get a large bulk of these printed in an A6 format to hopefully spread the word of my personalised commissions. Let me know what you think! :)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)

Christmas Illustrations

I've produced a couple of illustrations this Christmas and thought it was the perfect time to share them with you! I'm really happy with how they both turned out and I'm very glad the recipients were happy too! The first is an illustration for my friend, Sam. He wanted an illustration of him and his two sisters as a Christmas present for his mum. It was a fun and happy piece to illustrate and apparently it printed up beautifully.

The second picture I did as a little present for someone I work with. She's currently on maternity leave with her beautiful baby girl and I wanted to do it for her as a Christmas present. I really enjoyed illustrating her and I will be sharing a couple more baby illustrations tomorrow. I've discovered babies are one of my favourite illustration subjects! Maybe I will explore this are more, if you'd like something produced don't hesitate to contact me!

I hope your Christmas has been wonderful and have a very happy New Year! I will be back with more new work and Christmas books posts!

A beautiful little commission

After seeing some of my previous work, I was asked by Jo (@stillawake) to produce a very special birthday commission for the father of her beautiful baby! I was delighted to be asked. I was to illustrate him holding his little girl (using a very lovely photo!), a motorbike and a moped, together in panels. I found the bike's a little hard but I knew if I worked hard I would get there eventually! Jo loved the result, as did Martin. I'm so happy they liked the illustrations, I'm really happy with the final piece! I hope you like it too! (What do you think of my bike attempts?!)

 

If you would like to commission a little piece for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or just because you want to, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

New Work!

Hi everybody! Firstly, I have many new followers so thank you so much! :) I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post, we've finally moved house and starting to get settled so I thought it was time to share some new work. This illustration was for my friend and Tea & Crayons member Fritha. She wanted me to illustrate her boyfriend, Tom, to give to him as a birthday present. I was so happy and honoured that she asked me! I hope he liked it, I'm really happy with the results! 

This week I've been working on a commission for a magazine (involving a beautiful perfume sample!) and been busy making plans. I had a meeting for another commission last week that went brilliantly, so fingers crossed that will be finalised soon!

I also want to say a big thank you to the Tea and Crayons girls, who are not only incredibly talented, but amazing friends who have supported me and helped me through hard times. They're just great, I think you'll think so too!
