K-POP aka: Korean Pop music

I've been working very hard recently on coursework for my postgraduate degree and my final assessment is next week! I had to do 17 hours of coursework this weekend which was exhausting!

So this evening I opened a few abandoned drawings from last year and threw them together in this edit just for fun :)

I should really add a male representative of K-pop to the image but I didn't have an existing drawing.
I don't have time to draw one right now, so maybe I'll add one at a later date when I have time to paint.

I also realised I never posted these paintings of Minzy from 2NE1 on my blog

and here is some of my 2NE1 fanart in a book that was made by EROMAKNAE and given to 2NE1 themselves! Here is on example page with my art on:

My art- Alice painting the roses tattoos

As I've mentioned before in this post, a painting I made back in 2010 for my final degree show somehow caught a lot of attention and many people have got various versions as tattoos based off my drawing and the collection of them is ever-growing!

Some of these people contacted me and asked if they could use it (a big thank you to those people!), others got it done and then managed to track me down, some are unaware still of it's source and I just happened to stumble across the photos on tumblr.

Seen or own a tattoo based on my Alice drawing? Please contact me/ leave a comment!

Wow. Fantastic baby

Just for fun, here is the rather handsome TOP of Korean group BIGBANG. This image is based on a still from their music video.

Once again YGFamily have created such a great video!

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. :)

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!
