Uniqlo x Ladurée

I stumbled upon this collection earlier today and knew I had to share it with you! I've been aware of the cute t-shirt collections Uniqlo collaborates on with various brands for awhile, but I think this one is extra special. These shirts combine everything that is special about Ladurée - macarons, dainty colours, and french elegance. I love all of the illustrative detailing and think these tops would be perfect for summer.

The best part about these t-shirts is that they cost just £12.90 each, making them very affordable! If you feel like treating yourself you can shop the rest of the collection right here. Let me know if you decide to get one.

Blogger Illustration: Gingerbread Buttons!

I have a brand new blogger illustration for you today! I stumbled across Libby's blog 'Gingerbread Buttons' a little while ago, and I absolutely love it. Libby is absolutely hilarious and her posts are always a delight to read. She also has a big, cuddly rabbit which reminds me of one I used to have when I was little. My illustration is based on the photo below, I love how cute Libby's hair looks in buns. 

This is how the illustration turned out! I just knew I had to include some bunnies in there. 

Let me know what you think and be sure to check out Libby's blog here!

p.s. Don't forget there's free worldwide shipping on my Society6 shop until Sunday. 

New 'Tales of Creativity' Illustration.

This is the latest illustration in Karla's 'Tales of Creativity' charity series. The inspiration behind this one was, of course, '30% Makeup Artist, 70% Business Person' which I think is very relevant to most people in the creative industries! One thing that's just occurred to me though, is that I've completely overlooked including any male MUA's in the project so far which seems silly! I think I will have to rectify this in the next illustration I do. I can't believe I've actually produced so many and not even given it a second thought until now - I actually feel a little bad about it aha!

Illustrator Appreciation: Laura Graves.

I found Illustrator Laura Graves via Society6, and because her work is so beautifully textured and adorable I really wanted to share it with you guys too! Plus, Laura's work features an abundance of cute and cuddly animals - you know how much I love cats and rabbits!

Cats

Spring

I absolutely love the little rabbit and chipmunk curling up in the wooly hat - how sweet is that? All of Laura's work is available to buy as prints on Society6, or you could treat yourself to a t-shirt or phonecase. I promise this will be the last time I mention Society6 for awhile in case it is getting slightly annoying! 

Looking at Laura's work reminds me of how much I would love a little pet of my own - one day.

What's in my shop?

I decided to do a mini collage post about some of the different products that I've got for sale on my Society6 shop! As the website is American, I've converted all the prices to pounds for you! All of the t-shirts are available in different colours, in mens and womens sizes. I think I'd probably go for a mens t-shirt so I could customise it a little more, maybe chop the sleeves and turn it into an oversized vest. I don't usually do too many posts like this as I don't want to be too spammy but if you are looking for some original art/apparel then I'd be ever so grateful if you took a look at my shop. 

1. Sweeties Framed Art Print, available in various sizes. Prices start from roughly £21.

2. I want a cat t-shirt. £14.33.

3. Caracal tote bag. £11.72.

4. Mermaid iPhone case. £22.80.

5. Dreamgirl t-shirt. £14.33.

6. Snowchild Framed Art Print, available in various sizes. Prices start from roughly £21.

Thanks for reading guys!

Inside my sketchbook: Celestial.

As I had such a positive response on my last sketchbook post, I thought I would make them into a more frequent thing! I've really been enjoying working in my new notebook so I would thoroughly recommend checking out the rest of the Monsieur Notebook range - such lovely paper to work on even if it's not really meant for watercolours! As I mentioned in my last post, I've been really interested in stars/moons, and all things celestial recently so this is a continuation of that theme really. This illustration was made using a combination of watercolours, colour pencils, and a little bit of oil pastel - I also used a black biro for some of the finer details. Another thing I don't think I've ever mentioned on here is how much I love working in biro! It's definitely an underrated medium aha. 

I hope you're all having a good week!

Dreamtime Girl.

I'm really into stars and crescent moons at the moment, and I've been sketching them a lot recently. I actually have something else from my sketchbook to share with you soon which is fairly similar to this so I'll get around to that in the next couple of days! I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out so it will definitely be going up on my Society6 store as prints and t-shirts etc! I'm actually quite jealous of this girl, I really want her awesome necklace/choker.

Have you got anything nice planned for your weekend? I hope you all have fun no matter what you get up to.
