MUNCH

Birdy landed on my leg :)

Also have a (potentially) great idea for a zine that I want to make... hopefully start it this weekend. Plus will be working on a couple of fashion blog collaborations over the next few weeks, still in discussions!

March tomorrow... wow, that's come around quick.

I'm always seeking out other illustrators online, saving images I like or pinning them onto my Pinterest boards… I don't often find work that really stands out to me, but today I've discovered two amazing illustrators through twitter and wanted to dedicate a post to them!

Liam Smith AKA inWONDER

inwonderillustration.com

I think Vector illustration can sometimes look a little 'samey' and flat, but I love the colour palette Liam uses, as well as them being full of interesting layers and texture. The small details are so cute, I love the whale's wooden water spout!

His work makes me want to be more adventurous and imaginative with my illustrations, and not be constrained by what is real. Love the made-up worlds he creates!

 

 

 

Amy-Louise Olszak

As soon as I saw the first image I knew I'd like the rest of Amy's work; the washed out greys are beautiful and I love the hints of orange. I used to use a lot of water colour in my own work and would love to try it out again...

The pill bottle illustration is probably my favourite out of these images, I like really striking, odd compositions like this.

LOOP

Two posts in one day, well I never.

Late night quick illustration, I just had to get this down! You know when something happens or you see something, a spark goes off and you want to draw it straight away...? Perhaps just me then.

But today at work I answered the phone to a sales guy and he had the best name EVER. Also his actual words :)

SLACK

Obviously wasn't at LFW but I always have a look at what's been going on (and have a sneaky watch of the live stream at work..)

A few bits I liked :

Temperley

I'm really into masculine shaped clothes and details in muted colours... pretty much how I dress, with Docs or high tops thrown in  :)

Oh and I've found a new singer I really love, Tom Odell - I'm probably the last to hear about him as I think he won a Brit Breakthrough award or something and was on Jools Holland last year... but have  been listening to his EP a lot over the past couple of days and I really like it.

STRAWBERRY

A few drawings from yesterday's Drink & Draw event...

 And apparently this is as bad for your health as smoking... D: maybe I should cut down.

I'm also glad to report that Birdy is safe and well and back in his nest, he went missing over Sunday and Monday, turned out he'd been stuck under some clothes in my wardrobe! :O
