Welcome!

Hello!

If you are new to my blog then WELCOME!

I have decided that it is time to begin to really start getting my work 'out there' into the world of publishing so please join me on my travels...



There are many altruistic illustrators and crafts people on the internet who provide information on how to get started and succeed in this area. One in particular is illustrator Holli Conger http://www.holliconger.com/. Thank you to Holli for her inspiration website and blog!



In 2004 she began a monthly log on how to become an illustrator, which provides plenty of tips on the right way to go about it. I found it by literally typing 'becoming an illustrator' into Google.

I really recommend a look if you are interested. This is where I found out about the much loved 'Illustration Friday' site too! http://www.illustrationfriday.com/

Make It in Design - Module 1 2016

Hello! It's been AGES since I posted. It has been a busy time and I decided to take some time to develop my portfolio, invest in my professional development and generally get a bit organised. I have just finished ABSPD Module 1, in which I have begun the journey of developing my characters and illustrations into surface pattern designs. The course is simply a MUST if you are considering a career in design. I can't recommend it highly enough. I will write in more detail later, but for now here is my piece for the typography competition that was open to module 1 alumni. I create character-led illustrations primarily for the greeting card and children's markets so my quirky character I drew for this piece compliments my style. I learnt how to layer up my work and create pattern repeats using Photoshop. Here's a link to the Make It In Design website www.makeitindesign.com
