Bring on 2011! Happy New Year!

Hello! And a Happy New Year!
Like the title, bring on 2011! Quick post for now, been working few shifts lately during the holiday period.

Now into the seasonal spirit, I had brief moment to reflect and clarity. Which is why I like New Years celebration then Christmas. New Years like everyone is a fresh start, clean slate and a progression. Sorry to repeat hehe, what can I say, that you all haven't heard from everyone else already.

On a brighter note, I've celebrated last night with old friends with an impromptu limo drive to Brighton! It was wicked! The photos I've taken are not so good. If you wanna see the limo, click here.

So a resolution, take more risks and go on to many more adventures! ^_^

Hope you all have a great start to the New Year and let's see what 2011 may bring. xx

Proofs from: Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration!

Hello! 

On very bleak snowy week, hope you all wasn't disrupted too much by the weather. With winter firmly in place, especially the bitter wind slapping my face. To be honest, I've been having the blues. Rants about the travel and government not preparing, etc, I really wanted to see how other countries cope with the snow. 

Anyhoo, what brought a smile to my face was the proofs (courtesy of Amelia) from Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration. And it looks.... A M A Z I N G. Filled to the brim with colour and very talented illustrators. I was fortunate to have my neighbours, Kellie Black, Erica Sharp with me on the spreads. 

Gorgeous spreads of Jo Cheung, Natsuki Otani and Jenny Robins

I can't wait to get my copy and open it up on Christmas Day. Like a giddy child. Put it on your Christmas List, get your copy. Proof is in the flesh, why not order the real thing. Finally, Thank you Amelia, for working so hard on making this happen.

Happy Halloween! Flamingo Magazine

Happy Halloween!! 

In the spirit of Halloween, I created an illustration recently for Flamingo Magazine of Zola Jesus. An atmospheric singer with a unique voice.  Her videos are thought provking, eerie and gets you to the point of specific memory. Because of this, I wanted to portray her as a ethereal entity,  a shadow, a mist, the wind. As a result, it looked a bit suitable for this celebration. 

In vain, I brought sweeties for the kids, lets hope they don't knock on the door and egg the house..... Mwhahaha xx

Amelia's Magazine: Basso & Brooke

For London Fashion Week, illustrations of Basso & Brooke. Check it out and see the full article here. A bit more rainbow Technicolor effect, I think works better on white background. 


Also a bit of NEWS, I recently did a video interview with Amelia (herself) for  Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration with more fellow illustrators. Finished an illustration for a client. Time does flies, 

So Watch this Space... xx

Mooncup, yes...

Evening! It's been awhile from my last post, and foremost

See 'the Ideal Period' here

Quick illustration update. Another beauty for Amelia's Magazine, one about the...ahem Mooncup.  See the full article here.

An alternative to tampons, and my best friend uses it religiously. This was a challenge, especially my first impressions of this product feels icky.  So I thought the retro 'pin up' girl theme advert would be suitable, making it less icky and more sexy hehe. 

Finally, I'm on my internship at Penguin Group with Dorling Kindersley, and I am loving every minute of it. I am learning so much how publishing works and also how illustrators are commissioned/ working within the team, etc. Also really truly understand how much of the work goes into these amazing extensive books.  So it explains my lack of presence on the good ol' internet. 


Let me know if you enjoy this and I speak to you soon! Have a lovely week xx

Hello! It's Veja Darkroom

Just finished this illustration yesterday for Amelia's Magazine, yet to be posted up onto the web. Nevertheless I couldn't wait to show you all, especially I am so pleased with the colour schemes. Also it came out well especially the type. The illustration is of a shopfront selling limited Veja Ethical bags. Hope you like it. Lots more to come!
