Beauty Queens gift tins- Playful Promises

Logo (c) Playful Promises

I am really happy to say that Playful Promises now have released their new gift tins featuring my illustrations and they are now on sale here! 

There are 12 kinds, one for each month of the year and each set includes a different design of panties and the decorative tin. My personal favourite images are Miss February, April, August and October.

Sorry for this rather image heavy post but I want to show all the drawings. :)

(Photos of the tins are from the Playful Promises website)

Here they are, January - December in month order

A big thank you again to everyone involved at Playful Promises for giving me this opportunity and to my friend Fab for posing for me for reference.

Playful Promises gifting tins- preview

On Saturday Playful promises revealed on their facebook a preview of one of their new gifting tins that will feature my illustrations and be released online and in store in August.

In other news:
The Bizart craft fair in Malvern was a great experience. Even though it was snowy, icy and VERY cold, many people supported my art and the whole event in general and I enjoyed it a lot.

I am hoping to get some time to do some more painting, just for fun, over the next couple of weeks. :)

Playful Promises TEASER 2

Another teaser of my work for 'Playful Promises'

Once again, this 'teaser' artwork is not necessarily final and might end up being changed, edited throughout the project.

These sketches are just bases for the inking and painting that is the next step of the process.

more to come soon!

Playful Promises TEASER

In my last update here I mentioned I was doing some artwork for 'Playful Promises'

Now the deadline is a pretty quick one, so for the last couple of days I have been getting some ideas down and starting some preliminary sketches. 

(A big thank you to my friend Fabianna who helped me by agreeing to pose for me for some reference)

Here's a small teaser of just some of the stuff I've been doing:

'Playful Promises' Teaser

Of course, not all this 'teaser' artwork is not necessarily final and might end up being changed, edited, or scrapped altogether during the process with the client, but once the project is finished, I can show you all the artwork fully, and anything that was taken out as a bonus. 

More teasers to come soon!

Playful Promises

I am very excited to say that I have recently been asked to produce some artwork for 'Playful Promises' who describe themselves as 'A London-designed brand which mixes quirky, directional design with all things playful, flirty, and even a little bit dirty. Our sumptuous collections consist of corsets, bras and panties, quirky gifts and swimwear.'

I am not going to reveal any final artwork until they have officially released it themselves and the project is completed, but I will be able to tease you with some work in progress through the duration of the project.

The theme of the project is currently a secret!

They really do sell some amazing products and are managed by some lovely people too!

'Things I buy too many of..'

(click to view full size)

I think I am a bit of an impulse buyer and have a tendency to collect certain items. For example I can’t stop buying bras. lol

I think as well as adding more bras I own to this image later (I haven't drawn them all), I want to do a few more of these visual lists of 'things I buy too many of' with different stuff. I buy way too many necklaces, printed t-shirts and Nintendo/ Zelda related merchandise amoung other things that I don't really need... I just go a bit wild. lol
