Digital Portrait - Laura / Pip

On monday I finished this portrait of Laura from Wrapped Up In Rainbows. Laura loves pink and turquoise, so of course I had to include those colours! She also has a really awesome VW van named Pip. As soon as I saw pictures of Pip I knew it needed to be included in the portrait somehow! I love VW vans. So I did a Pip patterned background, complete with it's own "PIP" personalised number plate.

I'm so so happy with how this turned out. Making the Pip background has got me obsessed with making material patterns again!

Wednesday Art Feature: Kristina Møller

Kristina Møller is a Canadian artist based in Toronto. Her work combines two of my most favourite things, pretty colours and animals! I often find myself wishing I could see the world through the eyes of different artists, and Kristina is certainly one of them. Her imaginitive paintings and confused, childlike portraits are so unique.

She sells her original work too, and for such reasonable prices! I have so many of her paintings on my Christmas wish list. I can't wait to decorate my house with her adorable little cat & dog paintings.

Which one is your favourite? Mine is the girl with the turquoise hair.

Wednesday Art Feature: Akumu-Kurai

Akumu-Kurai is a spanish artist who specialises in portraits in her own unique style. I love the way she incorporates pattern and fashion into her work. Akumu manages to take a simple colour scheme and a simple portrait and make it into a feast for your eyes. She finds patterns and textures where others wouldn't.

Akumu also has a blogspot where you can see more of her work.

Thank you Fernando De Souza

Do you remember my art feature on Fernando De Souza a couple of weeks ago? After he saw my feature he very kindly offered to do a portrait of me. Of course, I couldn't refuse!!

Here is the finished portrait:

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I especially love that my top has the ponychops logo on it!

Also, I am in love with how he's done my hair, it kind of makes me want to shave my side bit again.
