'Ello... it's Valentino...

I just had to scribble down this dress... a Valentino worn by Florence Welch sometime earlier in the year. It's the 'stuck-on' flowers that get me... they've been popping up on dresses everywhere in recent months but I'm still not sick of them :)

Avatar design for Facebook

I created this avatar for a friend of mine who's living in Paris at the moment. It's a pencil sketch, scanned and coloured in Photoshop.

Beauty & the Beast

My entry for Waterstone's illustration competition - see also my character studies for the Beast, Beauty and the Merchant below. The prize is a contract to illustrate Beauty and the Beast as re-told by Michael Morpurgo... sigh...

Christening gift - illustration

This illustration was commissioned as a christening gift for a baby boy. I filled it full of interesting detail so as the little boy will get lots of fun from it the older he gets, and will hopefully be a piece that he treasures for many years to come (and perhaps when he has children of his own!).

I also added a number of personal references, small and recognizable only to the family.

This piece was created using a mixture of traditional tools (pen,brush and ink) and digital media. It was printed using archival pigment onto matt fine art paper and measures 417mm x 296mm (approx. A3).

I'm about to start work on another commission for a baby girl and look forward to doing lots more commissions of this sort!
