Fancy seeing you again....

Well it has been a long time hasn't it? I took quite a long hiatus from the art world and just generally had a break from it, while I assessed what to do next. I hadn't picked up a pencil in quite a while when the lovely Tajinder Hayer from therakishgent.blogspot.co.uk contacted me about creating a 'Look of the Week' illustration for his men's fashion blog 'The Rakish Gent.' After looking at his fabulous site and brilliant articles, how could i refuse?

My 'Look of the week' for The Rakish Gent

My illustrated look of the week, along with Tajinder's site 'The Rakish Gent' can be found here... http://therakishgent.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/look-of-week_17.html

I loved illustrating men's fashion for a change and hopefully this is the start of more illustrations from me!

Jess Buckley

Sorry for the lengthy absence and no new work, but life got in the way of blogging!

Way back in October, a lovely blogger called Jess Buckley got in touch with me about doing an art trade, something I had never done before. I agreed to create a portrait of Jess herself and she agreed to create me a portrait of one of my favourite female singers (I gave a few names so the outcome would be a surprise!)

A few days ago, we finally got around to swapping and here is the portrait that Jess did for me...

It is of course the wonderful Lady Gaga and i love the use of colour and texture Jess used. Here is the portrait i did for Jess...

I really had fun doing this art swap and would definitely be up for doing another, so get in touch if anyone's interested!

Make sure you check out Jess' blog here which is full of great posts and photographs of her exploits
