2011 update

Hello!

I've been doing lots of competition stuff which will post eventually, but here are some odds and ends! These are some childrens book type things:

and a picture i rejected for my entry to the Folio Society 'Outsider' competition:

{i didn't reject this because i didn't like it, it just had to be one of three and didn't match the others}

and a VERY ROUGH ROUGH for the cover which i decided against:

Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration

Hello, I have very exciting news for you. It may not have escaped your notice that I have lots of fashion illustration on this blog, and much of it is for the lovely Amelia's magazine website. Amelia is now releasing a book - "Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration" which will feature my work along with many other wondrous illustrators, and combines upcoming ethical fashion with fashion illustration, all bound together in Amelia's inimitable maximalist style.

The book is out in time for christmas and can pre-ordered online {and with a discount!} here.

It's sure to be amazing, and if you like fashion or illustration or nice patterns and things, give it a go. Here is a sneak peek of my the first proofs of my work :

Oh Comely

I have an illustration in the current edition of Oh Comely Magazine! 'Oh comely' is a very lovely magazine, full of interesting articles and art and people. Here is my illustration for the theme of 'Found':

It was a very quick turnaround so it's by no means perfect, but i'm fairly happy with it. If you want to see it in all it's glory with a bit of writing by me you can pick it up in WHSmiths! (I KNOW, exciting, yes?)

bits and bobs

In my latest procrastinating file organisation session i found a few things I never posted on the blog, so here they are! Firstly some shoes i did for a best and worst purchase theme
the pencil drawings for my Tara Starlet illustrations

and a few old sketches for my sweden book (which is STILL ongoing, and still unfinished)

London Fashion Week S/S

Just a few illustrations for Amelia's Magazine's lfw coverage. I was fairly short on time so they're much rougher than my previous ones but i quite like that.

Book Spreads.2

Some more book spreads! The pages i have yet to do are roughed out, so you can pretty much get the story hopefully. Also i have an illustration up over on ameliasmagazine.com, which i'll upload at some point with some other fashion illustrations i think i forgot!

Book spreads

SO finally an update with some book spreads! Sadly i haven't finished the whole book in time for my project hand in, so it looks like I'll be finishing it over summer. I'm about..70% happy with what i've got so far so here are a few of the opening pages:

There will be more soon, and hopefully lots of exciting other stuff too!
