Desk of the Day - Can you guess who it is?

Today I'm working on a little portrait of one of my favourite artists. Can you guess who it's going to be?

Etsy Love - Prickly Plants

I recently went to the Made in Mexico exhibition at The Fashion and Textile museum in London. It was a small, beautifully curated exhibition that immediately got me inspired for my latest uni project. I think I'm going to team together Mexican imagery with modern illustrative styles, so prepare for lots of Mexican inspired posts!

Here's the first one, it's cactus themed!

Desk of the Day - Sneaker Time

Today I'm working on an illustrator drawing of some Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. I got some white ones for my birthday and have been itching to paint them for a while! I'm going to use this drawing to figure out some designs for them before I paint!

Red Roses and Bull Terriers

Today I'm finally sharing the Bull Terrier shoes I painted in April, you can see them in progress here.
These were really fun to do, they were based on the owners two adorable Bull Terriers!

Etsy Love - Spirited Away

Within the first 5 minutes of this film I was immediately in love. The imagination and creativity of the story and the characters create a visual delight of a film. I love the story line of Spirited Away and could watch it again and again.

No Face is definitely my favourite character, with the Radish Spirit being a close second.

Not surprisingly this film has lead to some amazing fan art from my fellow Etsians. Here are some of my favs:
