Kate for Dior! Can you get a better pairing?! 

The shoot was one of those Vaseline-lensed, soft, 70's inspired campaigns. So I coloured super hard (these were the times before I discovered Prismacolor pencils, mind you) and then went in and rubbed out everything around the perimeter with a hard eraser. 

Quite the arthritis trigger it would seem!

Urban Walkabout Claremont

 The third cover in the Perth Urban Walkabout Guides I have done. This time I thought I'd show you guys a bit of the process that goes into it. The two pencil illustrations are the originals that I sent to Urban Walkabout to choose from with their colour option in the middle, I like giving a couple of options! They went for the one on the right probably because if you were to walk past the guide in a shop she is a little more interesting and has a bit more detail going on. View the guide here and pics from the opening night here! 2 more to go!
PS This is my 60th post!

Urban Walkabout Perth

 

The second issue of Urban Walkabout's Perth series was released last week! LOVE the background colour they chose to pair with my illo. She is Natalia Vodianova if you were wondering and she is wearing a Christian Dior/Miu Miu inspired outfit. And what a great launch party,  I got to draw all the invitee's shoes and they got to keep the lil illo as a gift:)

Marni for BOX Magazine

I was so happy when BOX magazine contacted me to do a little illustration job for their upcoming Spring issue, especially as they requested some Marni illustrations! Consuelo Castiglioni has always been an inspiration to me, the way she uses print and texture is beautiful and her always identifiable colour palette is the best. Thank you BOX mag team! Everyone go grab your copy now!

Claremont Quarter Fashion Fortnight

I have spent the last month or so working on illustrations for Claremont Quarter's Fashion Fortnight campaign and have just now had the chance to blog about it! It was such a great project to work on and I got to experiment with my new love of mixing watercolour and pencils. The illustrations are all over the center and W.A's print media which has been amazing to see. The stores there are so amazing (Sass & Bide, Zara Bryson, Mecca) that I have already spent my earnings, whoops!

Arizona Muse 2

Promised you! The second illustration of Arizona. Now I can move on to the rest of the 'Draw It NOW' file. I'm liking this technique of laying down watercolour then drawing over the top in colour pencils so will continue on with that till I get bored of it again!

Arizona Muse

I have a permanent file on my desk-top called 'Draw This'. I put all the images I come across and fall in love with in it. Nothing ever gets drawn. I get bored of them so quickly, so, the file has been re-named 'Draw This NOW'! Arizona went in there this morning and came out this afternoon! She is A3 so excuse the photo instead of a scan, off to do another one!

300 Folowers!

Today I have 300 lovely lovelies following me! I'm so thankful:) It was a year ago exactly that I had 100 followers! So I thought I'd post a little sample of the Fall 2011 collections I have been putting into a sketch book, I plan to do this every season (but not cruise and pre-fall, cos I'm not on board with those yet, haha!). Should I do another blog devoted to them? Possibly...

Hilary-Eniko-Missy

Another For the card/print series. Not long now, just working out the business side of it all (something that artists are notoriously bad at doing!). She seams to be a hybrid between Hilary Rhoda, Eniko Mihalik and Missy Rayder. Just cant keep away from those baby pink backgrounds, looks so sweet with the red!

Victoria

The pink obsession continues! This time inspired by a Shop Till You Drop T-Birds editorial in the Dec 2010 issue. Original photograph by the super talented Steven Chee (love his retro vibe) Styled by Jesse Hart. Our Model is Victoria @ Chadwick Models but cant find her on the site! I have digitally coloured the background this time:)

Zomp Invite

Having worked in a shoe shop for the past 3 years you could say I have a little bit of an obsession. So every year I am given the honor of illustrating the Christmas party invite. We dont sell Louboutins but we all still worship them, as demonstrated in last years invite (above).

Xmas Cards- (but sold out!)

So this was just a test this chrissy to see if anyone was interested in buying fashiony type Christmas Cards, and it went really well! The top one is my Alessandra Ambrosio design and the bottom is my Karlie Kloss design. I got them printed and scored professionally ( which was pricey but so worth it). Hope you guys like em and sorry they are not available:( Have started on some non-xmas ones for during the year! Stay tuned...

Aurelio Costarella PFF

So my lil' old blog is being featured in Perth Fashion Festival this year. I will be doing a series on Perth designers and this one is the first. The lovely Perth model Tammy Stone wearing my favorite designer Aurelio Costarella! I'm so happy with the way it turned out. Cant wait to frame it in an old gold gilt frame.

FASHIONWA.COM

I did this illustration for FASHIONWA about a year ago. It was adapted from a photo taken by the fabulous Penny Lane (another Perthie). It seems more relevant than ever to post it now because I have been watching Australia's Next Top Model which stars gorgeous WA girl Jessie Maloney! And Perth Fashion Festival is coming up...
