Custom Family Portrait Commission

I recently completed another personal commission, illustrating a portrait of 4 family members. It was definitely a challenge as there was a fairly tight timeframe to complete it within, but I’m reallyt happy with the final outcome!

Despite the speedy turnaround, this request came at good timing, as it forced me to focus on tying up some loose ends before I engage with other work and commitments during the summer months. It’s unlikely I’ll be able to take on any commissions throughout June, but I’m hoping to squeeze in some time to continue working on my traveling series, and prepping for my re-introduction to markets at the start of September.

First ever colouring book pages!

I’m very excited to share my first ever colouring book pages! Which were made as a final addition to the Women in Rail Station Artwork Project for Transwilts, an ongoing project since early 2023! I contributed 6 pages made up from outlined versions of some of the illustrations I made prior, to be printed and displayed in different train stations. A full overiw of the project can be found here.

The colouring book also includes contributing pages from another artist involved in the project, Samuel Lincup! The books have been distributed across local schools in Wiltshire for student to enjoy whilst being educated about the project too! If interested in getting your hands on one, I do have a very limited number of copies for sale, link to shop.

After receiving my copies of the colouring book, it prompted me to reflect on the project as a whole. This is likely to be one of my most enjoyable and rewarding projects in recent years. Not only did it surround a topic very important to me, but also allowed almost total creative freedom, and consequently reminded me what I’m capable of! I’m very grateful that after each addition, the client came back for more, allowing me to create an in depth narrative.

As someone very particular about colour within my work, the thought of creating colourless images was never that appealing, however in this circumstance it’s a great addition to project that continues to push engagement with local people. I’m excited to hear what people think of my contributing pages. If I hear I positive responses, I’m sure I’d be keen to make more colouring book pages in the future!

Playing cards restock

In the last few months, my playing cards have been really popular, which is absolutely incredible, as this project is, and probably always will be, my favourite thing I’ve ever made! 🃏
A restock of these unfortunately comes with high and painful upfront cost, which I just had to shell out… However, it also means there’s 200 of these packs already out in the wild, which is INSANE!! I feel so touched each and every time a pack of these are bought 🥹🥹🥹

Thank you so much to anyone and everyone who’s bought a pack of my Animal Kingdom playing cards, and anyone yet to get theirs, they are now back in stock! 🫶🏻 Shop here
