Harajuku 原宿

I was clearing up some folders on my macbook and found this outtake from my illustrations inspired by Japanese street fashion for the SORTED London exhibition.

Playful Promises gift tins preview

Playful promises recently updated their facebook with a photo preview of their new gifting tins with my illustrations on! (minus the top two 'circus' themed tins)

 They are not in full production yet or on sale in shops, but they should be later on this year! (12 designs in all) Each tin contains a pair of knickers! how cute!

My 'teaser artwork' for this commission can be seen here here and here. 

Goodbye 2011!

Thank you for the support this year!

A special mention to: 

Cynotia for choosing me for your band CD/website artwork

Playful Promises for my commission over the summer (final results/ products coming in 2012!) 

and to all those who exhibited with me at SORTED London in June. 

and to all the Little Monsters and Blackjacks who supported my Lady Gaga and 2NE1 fanart. THANK YOU! ♥

My art- tattoos

Over the past year or so, people have been contacting me regarding my drawing of 'Alice in Wonderland' back from my final major project at University in 2010. They loved the image so much they had it tattooed onto various limbs.

Below are 3 separate people who have sent me images of the outcomes:

I can't believe someone would like my drawing so much they are willing to have it permanently etched onto their skin!


I've had 2 other messages from others who asked for my permission to get it done and will be sending me their photos when its finished.


My original drawing:

Alice rebelling against the Queen and painting the roses white

In other news:

I have seen the prototypes for the products that Playful Promises are using my illustrations for and they look really amazing! They will be officially released later in 2012. I can't reveal anything else until that time. 

My blog has hit well over 10,000 views from all over the world! Hopefully I'll get the chance to do a bit of an art giveaway in the new year to celebrate. :)

I'm still very very busy with my job and studies, but hopefully, I'll have some more artwork to share with you in the new year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all of you! 

Photos

The last few months have been rather busy and stressful for me. I don't have as much time to draw at the moment! I thought I would share some photos I took using the instagr.am app on my phone.

I have been informed that my images for Playful Promises have been sent off and are likely to be released next year. I'll keep you updated.

I hope to try and get some more drawings and paintings done soon! 

CL - I am the Best

The images for 'Playful Promises' are done. I hope it won't be too many months before I can reveal the final results. :)

For now though, here is a drawing a made a few months ago of 'CL' leader of the Korean girl group 2NE1. It was just for fun! Based on stills from the music video. YGFamily always have the best MVs and stylists! 

I haven't got much other work to show at this point. My life is filled up with other things right now, like a new job and a Postgraduate University course. I don't have much time for painting, but hopefully once I get the hang of all this coursework I'll have some more time to paint again.
