My birdbox for the Drawn in Bristol Summer show

I thought I would share my painted bird box for the drawn in Bristol Holiday Homes Summer show.

 I decided to go with the theme of stationary for my box. Be sure to go check out the show at Number 1 Harborside next Thursday. I can wait to see all 30 pieces together!

Illustrations for Kit Magazine

I was asked by Kit magazine to produce some Illustrations for their June online lifestyle & fashion publication. It was a really fun project, I particularly loves doing the foodie images! Expect to see many more of those in the future!

Illustration for a review of the new east London restaurant, Bones.

 Illustration for a article about The Attendant a cafe residing in a former Victorian mens toilet.

Illustration for a review of The Stylist's Rail, a regular wardrobe sale of clothing from a collection stylists to vintage aficionados.

  Illustration for a article about Pink Parcel, a once a month postal service that sends you the essentials, and a few treats, during a ladies time of the month.

A new pattern on wedding stationary

I seem to be churning out the patterns lately! For some reason I find it incredibly relaxing making a new pattern fit together and then applying it (or elements of it) to a context is really satisfying. I think the elements work well on wedding stationary borders.

New patterns on products

Here are a few new pattern designs I have been working on over the last week. I also used the PSD Covers actions to apply my designs to products to see how they might look. If you haven't used PSD Covers before I suggest you give them a try. They are free, simple to use and look great. It's always fun to visualise your designs on a product!

Uppercase Spring Issue 21#

 

Happy Easter everybody! I think at this point in the evening most of us are feeling that perhaps we had a few mini eggs to many and it's now time to veg out on the sofa. 

I got my hands on the spring issue of Uppercase today and thought I would share a peek at my patterns (3rd row from the left). The other patterns selected to feature in the special surface pattern guide were of a very high standard so I am very honored to have had mine chosen. I was pleased to see the pieces Uppercase chose of the 6 I submitted, the food labels, cacti and breakfast patterns. I am going to write a bit more about this issue on Onefoundseven in the next few days so keep an eye out for that too! 

Custom Wedding Invitations

I have just finished this custom wedding Invitation. Was very enjoyable to paint! If you are interested in a custom Wedding Invitation by me you can now order on via my Etsy Shop. Once purchased we can discuss your ideas and get to work!

Step into Spring

Bristol has blossomed! Thank goodness for that. Here's a couple of snaps of last weekend.
