I have now moved to WordPress! 

Sorry Blogger, I think after contemplating, I am ready to move on. I had fond memories here since Uni but head over to my Wordpress to catch up with the latest news.

Quote the Raven, "Nevermore!"

Good evening! How have you been? 

I am guilty for neglecting my blog lately. For that please forgive me *cute face.*

Anyway, I have been working on private commission to illustrate Edgar's Allan Poe: "The Raven." 

I have always wanted to do this, especially after watching the Simpson's parody heehee. 

Although taking it seriously, the poetry is intense and a slow burner, it builds up the suspense and leaves it to the reader's interpretation. Many illustrators have portrayed this great piece of writing, even the great Gustave Dore, whom I've admired. 

Here is just a quick preview of the work in progresses for this project. 

From sketchbook to the final illustration, oh yea, includes the mess on my desk. 

I really like WIP, really shows the journey that really makes the cycle from having a brief to the final outcome. Maybe it's good for me to show it off, once in a while.

Final Outcome:

Took all day and this morning to finish this painting. So chuffed, because I am never that quick!

London Fashion Week: Hermione de Paula

Good Evening! How are you today?

Have you ever had to juggling jobs and wonder when your job ends and your life begin?
Seems like I been neglecting my illustration for little bit. However Amelia of Amelia's Magazine through me a lifeline and asked me to illustrate Hermione de Paula's collection at London Fashion Week.

Planning to organise myself bit more, my projects,  sketching trips so lots more to look forward to on the horizon. It's not all "Work and no play" ;)

Check out the full blog here!

Take care and Don't work too hard XxX

Sketching Interlude

Hiya! How are you all been this week? 

Just a quick post for tonight. Been sketching and putting good use to my Moleskine. 

And I have to say, drawing from life, especially while on a LONG train journey was definitely therapeutic and inspirational. Today, it was worth learning from drawing from life than investing in costly life drawing classes. 

Let me know what you think, which is YOUR preference:

DRAWING FROM LIFE. vs. LIFE DRAWING CLASSES??

Have a good night and a lovely week. xx

Not a Wallflower

Hello there! Hope all is well. This will be a quick post as I'm a little bit Sleepy Bird (Character from Pocoyo hehe) Only had 5 hours sleep, painting, drawing and creating. Here are some teaser illustrations.

I've been doing some patterns and wallpaper drawings, which was quite experimental and new for me. Thank goodness for Julia for her amazing tutorial. Definitely worth checking out. :)

Talk soon, I think I'll need some sleep mew mew

Work, Neverending Story

Hello there again, two blog posts in one day! To make up for the lack of posts, I'll show you guys what I've been working on. Here are a couple of editorial illustrations. Quite different to the dark narrative stuff I'm used to working but it definitely  makes a good change to be honest. The illustrations are about blogging and how to cope with negative comments on the blog or on the net

They are at the rough stages at the mo, so watch this space. 

Feel free to tell me what you think of it :) 

Who likes Cake??

Hello there and good afternoon! It's been a busy week, preparing for the next show, D&AD New Blood, more information can be found here.

You have to register first, but it is free so please come and visit ^_^

Also on Weds 17th June,  ( if you're curious, yes my parents did call me 'June' they won't forget my birthday :P) it was my 22th birthday!  I don't feel that age though, I feel 19 at least..

Mum thought at first I was 24, d'oh. 

After the age confusion and debates, I had a lovely day. After going to Uni, I went to Central, window shopped and I found some cute things on my travels. (I wish I brought those cupcakes.) I thought the 'Super Mario Bros' window display was super cool. I ate at 'Mermaid's Tail,' typical for a mermaid lover like me.

It was a simple day out  really but was lovely. Even more lovely was the surprise I had the next day, when my lovely friends, Katie, Becky and Rashika presented me my own Bday cake hehe. It's was chocolately and indulgent cake and coincidentally, perfect present cos I didn't have any cake on my birthday.

Thank you!!!
