You & Your Wedding Magazine

 I'm thrilled to share with you all a commission I worked on a few months ago for You & Your Wedding magazine.

The issue has just came out and I was excited to pick up a copy and take a look.

I always love to see my work in print and in it's final form.

For the article entitled 'The Five Maids You Need" I illustrated five different types of bridesmaids 

and also a second illustration of some accesories.

It was a lovely piece to work on which I thoroughly enjoyed and, am very pleased with the end result.

Etsy store: Céleste print

A new illustration entitled "Céleste" 

is now available as a print over on my Etsy store 

as a mixed media/print piece.

It is essentially a print wjich I have then 

drawn on top of with pencil, 

and also painted onto using silver paint.

The result is that no two pieces will ever be exactly alike.

I like to work this way as i like to have the basic lines form which to draw 

from, but also be able to add more definition and subtlety

 which I feel are things that can often be lost when a 

drawing is transferred to digital media.

My printer, although good, never gives me the full range of tones I want.

I want to be able to experiment and play around with a drawing 

and not be too precious with it. 

Scanning it and reproducing it gives me this freedom to play.
