Ellie & George's Wedding

On the 25th of August, Ellie Kerfoot and George Wade invited me to their spectacular wedding up in Yorkshire. It was a pleasure to illustrate such a beautifully organized day, and I don't doubt Ellie & George will have a long and happy future together!

English Summer

...I think this illustration was actually inspired by a Vogue shoot in Central Park NY... but it reminded me of how I always end up looking after trying to sunbathe in England.

Australia Part 2! A Tribute to Travellers Oasis

I did these illustrations in and around our first hostel in Cairns, the beautiful Travellers Oasis! A special thanks to Helen and Mickey of Travellers Oasis, Roger, Helen Kent, Steph, Joe, Natasha, Dave, Sofia and of course Gina, for making it such an enjoyable stay!!

Australia Part 1!

Hello Everyone! You may have noticed I haven't posted anything in a while, the reason being I've been in Australia for a month! That's not to say I haven't been drawing... maybe even more so than usual! Except with a beer in the other hand instead of being handcuffed to a sewing machine. It's been a nice change! The next few posts will document my travels around the NT/Red Centre/Queensland. Thanks to everyone who made it such an amazing trip!!! 

India & Martyn's Wedding

Thank You!

No one said getting your First Collection over the finish line was going to be easy... I definitely needed all the help and support I could get!

To say a BIG THANK YOU, I did a series of illustrations to give to the people that got me over the final hurdle.

LOTS OF LOVE to Emma Bradstreet and Luca Castrezzati, two very talented Fashion Students at Kingston University. I wish you the best of luck for the future, and your own collections!

Graduate Collection, First Public Preview!

 

As you might know already, I divide my time between being a Freelance Illustrator and a Fashion Design Student, (Graduate now!!)

I usually keep these works seperate from each other... but I thought I'd share my Graduate Collection on my blog :-)

It's set to showcase on the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week... feel free to head down on 12th of June to watch the Kingston Show!

Happy Birthday Rob!

Today is my brother's 20th birthday! I was going to buy him something but he asked me to draw him Doom (formally MF Doom) instead. Rob also goes to Kingston University and studies Interior Design.
