handmade heart




although the majority of my work now ends up being a digital product, my heart still secretly lies with the handmade. every illustration i create starts out as a pencil drawing and so during the downtime when i am not creating for clients and want to create for myself, i have in recent months taken up painting to keep my handmade heart happy.

in an unexpected but wonderful little twist, whilst sharing these (and other) personal paintings on instagram, i have since been commissioned by various people to paint custom portraits. i am thrilled at this different path my illustration career is taking. another string to the bow, as my papa would say.

JOLLITIES

here is a little post dedicated briefly to the labels i designed for the christmas hampers jack & i made for our families last month. not really a thing, but i had fun creating these so i wanted to share them.
we made everything from scratch - limoncello, tomato chutney, strawberry jam, marshmallow twizzlers and loads more. it was the first time we had made a lot of these, but everything turned out superbly and our parents loved their gifts :)
