Rock n Needle New Collection launched 14th February!

Over the last few months I have had the pleasure of producing Illustrations for the lovely Kelly Goss, owner of the Rock n Needle clothing line.  It's been great working with her.

When I saw this advertised I jumped at the chance and felt my style would suit this project.

I've really enjoyed the whole process from sketching up and completing the designs to working with designs already in place.  All in all it's been great for furthering my skills and a fantastic opportunity as I love designing for fashion! 

These pics are from a collection of 25 pieces that will be showcased over the next few weeks.  The new collection is launched on Valentines day.  Keep posted to here and on the Rock n Needle blogpage, so be sure to keep checking back for more updates!!  

I love the overall result of the photography, make up and styling of the garments by Esvie Creatives http://esviecreatives.co.uk/

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!! I hope you are all well and having a good 2011 so far??

I have started this year with a fresh mindset and style that I feel much happier with.

One of my new years resolutions was to believe in myself more and be focused and I really feel I have achieved this so far.

I am really trying to get my work out there and have been working on lots of exciting projects one of which was the mage above which was recently showcased in a popular online magazine-Amelias Magazine.  you can view the illustration here:

Follow my daily sketch on facebook!

I have set myself the task of completing a daily sketch of whatever and wherever my imagination takes me! I chose to do this as I felt like I was hitting my head against a brick wall creatively so I figured I'd go back to basics and just doodle and sketch like I used to and am loving it!!

Here is my latest one

Weds 2nd June-Showcase London

I really enjoyed the exhibit last night, there was a really good vibe around Brick lane and the sun was shining which really added to the atmosphere!
Showcase gives up and coming artists a chance to promote their work commission free and is a must see for art lovers hoping to snap up a bargain! Its more relaxed than your typical art gallery with music playing and a bar and cafe for drinks/ snacks!

Here are some pics of my exhibit:
