Chalkboard Commission - Figgins

There is just something about black and gold that has always just sat right with me and when Sarah from Figgins asked me to re-do their chalkboard I thought gold would be a perfect fit.


Their shop is on a small road in Frome called King Street. It's off the main high street, so it is very important for the board to instantly catch the eyes of passer-bys!

So here is the finished board:


This sign has been out for a couple of weeks now and can be found at the end of King Street. I really enjoyed working on this particular board, I was given complete creative freedom and loved being able to do a bit of illustration as well.

Thinking of getting your own chalkboard signage for a shop or restaurant? Or have a special event coming up? Feel free to get in contact for a chat.

Commission - The Wedding Emporium Little Pad of Dreams

I went to a lovely networking event this evening that was hosted by the amazing and beautiful duo over at The Wedding Emporium. They held a wonderful event in which us wedding suppliers can meet other local suppliers. I learnt ALOT this evening and met some lovely new people.

Meghan and Gemma also commissioned me to illustrate the front cover of their guest book. I used a mixture of pencil, pastel and posca pen on a black paper.



The book went down well, and thanks to some gorgeous glitter washi tape and circles we all added our own quotes of what motivated us to do what we do!

Chalkboard Commission - The Market Cross Cafe, Frome

Whilst doing the chalkboard for Postscript I was seen by the lovely Kay from The Market Cross Cafe. She commissioned me there and then to create a chalkboard for a promotional event that was going to run during the monthly Frome Independent Market.

Here is the finished result!

Red Rose Illustration

Hello!

After a long hiatus I am back to drawing again! It's been a difficult few months; I've moved house again, and had two part time jobs. But now my schedule has calmed down and I have a routine in place, which means I can get back to work!

I have drawn a simple rose that I am going to use for my Zazzle store, and for motifs on a few different Valentine card designs.

January 2015. Coloured Pencil on Paper.

This was a nice piece to easy myself back into drawing again, and get reacquainted with my scanner and editing software, Now I'm just looking forward to having a play around with it and seeing what I can do! 

I post regularly on Instagram with what I am upto and Facebook, both links are on the sidebar.
