Guess The Film


I have again been so busy over the weekend. Currently trying to work on a massive print design project for a fashion company as well as trying to get my own illustrations done.  There are just not enough hours in the day.

I'm currently working on a series of illustrations that take inspiration from some of my favourite films.  I like sometimes to play with different mediums when I illustrate and with this one I have used fabric foils and and plastics.  This is the first of my works in progress for this so I hope you like.....

I wonder if you can guess which film this comes from?.....

So today I got to spend the day with my lovely boyfriend.  He has taken the day off work so it has been really lovely having him around the house.....albeit I have still been working and drawing. But at least I have someone to to keep making me cups of tea! Each day I want to try and post an illustration that depicts the mood of my day so today undoubtably has to be based on love.........I hope you enjoy!  If you want to see more of my illustrations then come take a look at my website

Amelia's Magazine Illustration


So yesterday I drew a little illustration for the amazing online magazine Amelia's Magazine  If you have never had the pleasure of seeing it before you should definitely check it out!  The illustration I drew was part of a series of Illustrations for a review on Hilum by Les Antliclastes.  It is an amazing puppetry performance being performed at the ICA as part of the London International Mime Festival 2011.   I really enjoyed drawing this little creature. This is the first illustration I have done for Amelia's Magazine and I hope it's the first of many more.
