Check it out! My first animation! I created this animated short using after effects and it's great to see my illustrations in motion. I drew all of the artwork separately, including each moving part, which took some time, but I've certainly learned a lot and can't wait to create my next animation.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Here is my latest illustration for my Etsy shop, and it's my favourite! I am absolutely obsessed with Game of Thrones, so it was only a matter of time before I had to draw my favourite character. In fact, I'm not sure why it's taken me so long? </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But here she is, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 37px;">Daenerys Targaryen, aka the Mother of dragons, with her you dragon on her shoulder. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 37px; text-align: center;">Each print is finished by hand with gold paint detailing on the dress and metalwork, so each one will be truly unique.

On, Thursday 22nd October I'll be in the Aspinal store at St Pancras station, London, from 12-6pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I will illustrating the customers as with their favourite Aspinal product, giving them their very own illustration to take home! So if you're in the area, and have 5 mins to spare, make sure to come in to get yours!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This will be my second time illustrating in this particular store. They're all great stores and the staff are fab, so it's a real treat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'll be using the #myaspinal all day if you want to follow what goes on and take a look at the illustrations.</div>

Over the last few months I've been doing some exciting events for Aspinal of London, becoming the in house illustrator for the day, creating watercolour fashion illustrations for the customers. I've been all around their London stores, including; Covent Garden Canary Wharf, Marylebone, Selfridges and their Flagship on Brook Street, and also to their store in Bluewater, Kent. I absolutely love doing these events, drawing all day, meeting wonderful new people, surrounded by beautiful Aspinal products.</div>

So all of the illustrations you see in this post have been done quickly, in store and in front of the customer.</div>

I've had an incredibly positive response from everybody that I draw, as it adds a lovely element to their shopping experience and gives them something extra to take home with them. I have a few more events in the pipeline, which as ever, I'm very excited for. The events are widely shared on social media, so follow myself and Aspinal of London for updates.</div>

The Catwalk design was particularly inspiring! I loved the way the colours sprang out from the white garden as the models walked on.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've just created my first gif animation. I know I know, pretty basic right. But for someone only used to seeing their drawings and illustrations stay static it's rather exciting and new to see them in motion! Before I decided that I wanted to become an illustrator, I actually wanted to be an animator. So it's a real indulgence to mix the two disciplines. Having never even dabbled in using any animation programs I found this was a good way to start, as I have used photoshop to create this. I just chose an image to draw and decided on trying out making the eyes blink first. (as it looked like the easiest!) I can't wait to apply this technique to other, more complete looking illustrations and see where I can take this! </div>

So I'm back form my trip away and getting stuck into my fashion illustrations again (or at least trying to fit it in amongst other work!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This girl is inspired by a photo from the <a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/if-youre-thinking-about-orange/">Sartorialist</a> and this amazing Dolce & Gabanna chilli pepper two piece. I want it! If only I had a spare £1000 lying around! I did manage to get a similar outfit on Etsy from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LaundryDayApparel?ref=l2-shopheader-name">Laundry Day Apparel</a>, which fits like a dream and is perfect for summer!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Above are a selection of images from my Instagram account which show some of my recent work that you can find in various magazines.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> I regularly get to create maps for Fabulous magazine, which I love doing, as I get to learn while I illustrate! Researching the different places beforehand to see what they look like and the general vibe that I want to portray is important in order to get the best outcome. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I also regularly create illustrations for the "How to…" beauty feature in Top Santé, a monthly women's health beauty and wellbeing magazine. Which include a step by step guide to getting the latest beauty looks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">And also, one of my favourites, Sunday Times Stlye magazine's "Can't live without.." feature, for which I illustrate a different beauty product every week.</span></div>

I'm thrilled to share with you all a commission I worked on a few months ago for You & Your Wedding magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The issue has just came out and I was excited to pick up a copy and take a look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always love to see my work in print and in it's final form.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the article entitled 'The Five Maids You Need" I illustrated five different types of bridesmaids </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also a second illustration of some accesories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a lovely piece to work on which I thoroughly enjoyed and, am very pleased with the end result.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey everyone,<br />
I’ve got something very exciting to share with you all!</div>

I make my on screen debut in my very own video! It is simply a little snippet of my life, how I work and what I love to do.</div>

It was created by the very talented Sam Nicklin and shot in various locations. In my home studio, my home city of Newcastle and also in sunny Austin TX.</div>
