Hi Hi! I know, it’s been a while – but I’m finally getting through my workload and can see a vision of pimms-sipping and sunbathing in the Serpentine in the not so distant future-weekend >_<
But first, a roundup of my current projects and exciting things to come!
You may (or may not) have spotted my illos for the well known NYC to London-based fashion blogger The Clothes Whisperer – if not here is a snapshot of the final piece:

This was a really fun project as I created looks around her personality and incorporated her journey from the big apple to the big smoke through the inked skyline as well as illustrated her love of writing through the book and the floating text. If you know about The Clothes Whisperer then you’ll also know that she’s never apart from her adorable, super-cute Pomeranian Butters – how I could not include little Butters in this illustration?! More of Butters below:

Yes, I also illustrated miss cuteness for her own fashion blog and after a few draft sketches we agreed that I should meet Butters to say hello and get to know her more. Now, I’m not really a dog person (you must know how much I heart cats!), but Butters really blew me away with her beauty and cuteness – let’s say, to date, she is the loveliest dog I’ve ever met*. You can’t help but love her – it’s a mystery to me!
To view these illos in context of the blogs please visit The Clothes Whisperer and Butters the Fashion Dog sites. For fellow fashion lovers out there I’d also like to recommend Kristin’s latest book Alexander McQueen, Genius of a Generation. I was very sad to hear about his death earlier this year, I also felt that he was a pioneering artist as well as a designer and this book is a lovely piece complementing his life.
Other news in the pipeline – more fashion illustrations coming very soon to talk about! Plus my online shop is finally opening for business THIS MONDAY! Yes, THIS MONDAY – put it in your diary peeps!
OK, I’m going to sign off now and remind you to read Le Mime’s hot weather antics here!
