Mail Me Art 3

Photobucket

Burp.

Here's my submission to Mail Me Art 3, it became a burping monster.

It is time for the third round of Mail Me Art; "Mail Me Art: Short & Sweet". This exhibition and book launch will be at The Framers Gallery in London, 30th July - 3rd August.

There are more then 200 illustrators and artists from all over the world taking part so I am really looking forward to go down and see what everyone has done, maybe I will see you there?

Pop corn

Photobucket

My obsession with giraffes and graphics is not over yet and I am working on yet another pattern and here's a little sneak peek, I call it Pop corn and I think that this one is my favourite so far, it might be the 80's colour scheme that makes it so special for me, I grew up with these colours, perms & to much hair spray, Depeche Mode & Madonna, Dallas, V and Falcon Crest - all the pastel colours makes me a bit sentimental.

What else is new?

I find it strange that there are so few illustration exhibitions and shows in a city like London, that probably has 10 illustrators per square metre and is such a mecca for culture and art, so I am trying to change that and is organising and putting together some shows of my own and I am very pleased to say that a have an amazing bunch of illustrators with me so stay tuned for more info and if you have a gallery or a space and would like to host a illustration show then please do get in touch!


PS. Thanks for all the feedback and comments on previous posts, I really appreciate it!

Monsters & Coffee


Photobucket

Photobucket

I hate, hate, hate, hate being photographed and prefer to be on the other side of the camera. But I need some images of me at work for a new project so I asked Dani to help me and take some pics of me drawing and here are some of them, thank you Dani! I know it was not an easy task as I do everything to avoid being in a picture... which I think you can almost tell from my face expression above.

I have had a great day, had a coffee with the brilliant illustrator Danijela Dobric, (you should definitely check out her work if you aren't already familiar with it, if you click on her name there's a link to her website) and drew an army of monsters for a really fun project that I am working on, here you can see some of them;

This is just a ruff sketch,  I am not happy with this monster but love the face expression, looks so unbelievably lost, but I think this one might be a bit better;

That's it from me for now.

Hmm...

Here's another sneaky little monster but I can't seem to make up my mind, should he be green or blue, hmm...what do you think?

Oops, here's one on the loose

Here's one of the finished monsters and I think he is my favourite, let's call him Burt for now.

Monster Friday

Photobucket

Today I am a lucky girl and can do one of the things I love the most; surface design and drawing characters. Today's theme is monsters and the coffee pot is full, the play list is loaded, the sun is shining and I am really excited about a new project that I am involved with - I could not ask for a better Friday.

Here's a little sneak peek from my sketchbook and some work in progress, but I think that these monsters are way to well behaved and cute for me so I have to get back to my sketch book for some more wacky monsters, the kind that you would not like to have around your house.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
