Homely cushion designs

wow, it's so exciting to finally have them ready, it's not totally complete, but at least the flower cushions are, i've created them in several colours to suit different colour schemes in homes, and to see which are the most popular choices, right now they come in

Yellow
Purple
Pink
Turquoise
and as an experiment a less bright green/turquoise.


I'm really pleased with how they've turned out, they'll be for sale shortly on my website for £17 with cushion pads included! However, if you want to be the first to have a free one, then join in the competition here Share the image and be in a chance to win the first one!
 I'd really appreciate your feedback on the one you like the most/most likely to buy!

Next to be printed and added to the collection are these lovelies, i'm having them reprinted so they're all on the same materials and have similar colours, Using too many companies make tracking down matching fabrics a long process!

Anyway, thanks for reading and i'd love to hear your opinion as always 

Competition time!

Hi there,

 Some exciting news! I've been working on my website now and I'm finally at a place where I can start running some competitions, my cushions are nearly done so as a thank you to everyone who supports my artwork I wanted to give away one! I'd love to give everyone something but I don't think that's a good way of running a business.... Ha

  It's so simple, just share, like, comment on the image and ill pop your name in a hat and ill do a lucky draw, the winner will be announced when I launch my website in July, I'm not stating dates as things are always doomed when you do! But I'll keep you updated anyway! 

 Thanks again :) 

Keira Knightly - Just married!

The beautiful Keria Knightly has just gotten married, i spotted a picture of her in the newspaper dressed in a floaty Rodarte dress skipping from the registry office, and i just had to draw it! I'm not sure if this is her actual wedding dress, she may have changed it for the evening ceremony, but it suits her so much, I love the added touch of the cat-eye sun glasses and flowers in her hair, I'm not sure where the cropped jacket is from, but it looks similar to a Chanel blazer i've seen.
If you've seen the pictures, they're very playful and light, and that's what i wanted to go with for the illustration, bright pinks and light colours!
What do you think? 

New designs

 It has taken me a long while to create my new cushion designs, i've taken lots of photos recently, mainly of flowers and natural objects, i decided to draw a few of these and see what they'd look like on a cushion, mirroring them and adding some watercolour splashes. It took HOURS,  i was always on the verge of liking the design, but not entirely. Originally i had lots of different flowers including lillys, and i think that is why i didn't like the look of the design, i was over complicating the illustration when simple is sometimes best.  I'm looking forward to getting these printed, with lots of different colours, such as fushia, yellow, grey and turquoise!
 Can't wait!!

Listen and tweet

How rubbish have I been? I definitely need to blog more, I've been working really hard on launching my new website which is taking up alllll of my spare time! I'm panning on launching a site which enables my customers to easily commission me for wedding invitations, favours etc, through online templates which i have! As well as an online shop with my prints and cushions! It's taken a while and I've changed my mind so much... But I think I've finally settled on an idea,
I'm just so excited to start making some cushions, I have lots of ideas, I just wish I had the money for all of them, ha!
Recently I attended the company magazine music gig party! It was SO much fun, the foundation bar in Covent garden is so lovely, I'm a big fan of interior design, and this didn't disappoint, if you're around there you have to pop in. It was also a great opportunity to meet some of the team, who are so friendly! I was really nervous to meet them but I'm glad I did.
In relation to the music gig party, a new column in company has just opened called #listenandtweet featuring readers song suggestions, and new acts to look out for.
I currently can't get out of my head

Jai Paul - BTSU
Róisín Murphy - overpowered


Any suggestions?

Graphic eyes

As well as illustration, i do have a passion for graphic design, i chose to use a few of my illustrations to create a page layout and small article about some of the trends i've seen emerging and want to try out myself.I wanted a loose arty vibe to the drawings so i incorporated a doodled background and a smudgy border for the eyebrow drawings. I really love a collaged page layout, it reminds me of scrapbooking for college projects.





I added a splash of watercolour do add a bit of depth around the eyes, I wanted them to look a little messier and less pristine!


Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed looking at my little project, could you see this in a magazine? Any advice, comments?
