Baby's Room

I have made this illustration for one of my best customers from the New London Cafe, and I am really happy with the results. She asked me to create an illustration for the baby that she was expecting to place it in the nursery she was arranging for the baby. First idea was a scene with animals, cute, childish and colourful. She asked me to add a sentence from Psalms in the Bible "Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord".

My challenge was to place all these little creatures on A4 size with that much detail on them. Made them one by one, adding ink, watercolours and scan them. Placing them on PS and practising calligraphy in order to add more charm to the scene.

She was happy with the result and so I am, great challenge accomplished. Here are some sketches from the work in progress 

Wild Garden

Personal project. I always wanted to decorate my garden, and I also love to place my illustrations almost on any surface and see how it looks.
After collecting a few fizzy drink cans and hot chocolate tins from my cafe, I had to decided a colour to cover them with.
I painted them on light blue (duck egg), and transferred some of my animal illustrations that I made previously on layout paper. I will need to give a coat of clear varnish if they are going to be used outdoors, to portect them from the weather.
I am really happy with the result and they look very cute for decoration.

 

It is such a nice way of recycling your waste and make your space nicer. The pots can be use also for others purposes, not only for plants ;-)

Don't give up...

This is the second poster and I wanted to transmit the idea of never give up when we start at something. Because the beginning is the hardest part of it, but after you try a few times it becomes easier.
