New header!

Well, I had decided to do a new header for the old blogski
I had this drawing just lying about doing not
much at all, so I decided to use it.
I was inspired again by the new Wildfox
shoot and also horror movie posters.
It's My favourite header that I've done so far
(There have been a few)
despite it being a way for me not to do any uni work.

Also, I not long ago completed a few illustrations
for Who's Jack magazine.
It's an illustrated fashion shoot which will be in the
December issue which should be out soon.
It will be available in Urban Outfitters
and many many vintage shops around London.
You can also check it out via the online version of the mag!

H&M Maxi

This is just a quick illustration I did while
procrastinating against starting my dissertation.
It's based on a fashion bloggers post,
but I chose it because I also have this dress

For a uni project i'm creating a children's book based on three random sentences. One being about the moon I was inspired to create my story around this. Here's a first rough draft of my first page and a bit of the story too.
