Editorial Illustrations

Hello,

I thought I'd share with you some recent work I completed for Cox and Kings Compass Magazine.  These illustrations were for their spring/summer issue which will be out soon.  Both of them were lovely briefs.  One was for the letters paged inspired by Greece, and the other was based around an article about literature and the Thames.  I had a great time drawing these.  Thinking of Greece really took me back to holidays there (I must go back soon!) It also meant I got to draw a goat which can only be a good thing!  I loved working through ideas for the for the Thames piece, it was a beautiful article.  I always enjoy drawing London landmarks and I'm really happy with the colours I choose for this one and how it turned out.

It's a bank holiday weekend in the UK this weekend and for once I am actually escaping the capital and going to spend a few days away in the countryside, I can't wait!  I realised I haven't left London since Christmas! so it really is about time.  
I hope you have a lovely weekend whatever you do x

Crystals

Hello,

I writing this from a very rainy London, but thankfully I'm home and in the warm :).  I actually do like the rain, when I'm not in it!
I thought I'd update with some Illustrations I did for the latest edition Women's Health magazine.  This was a lovely commission all about crystals and their healing potential.  I had a lot of fun combining varying media to create the textures.  After reading the article I'm thinking it would be pretty beneficial to have them around.







I'm really happy with how they turned out and I think they make a nice set.  I hope you're having a good week and I'll be back soon.  Now time for a cuppa I think :) x
