DACS New York exhibition announced

Earlier in the year, I mentioned that I had been asked to contribute a piece to the DACS exhibition - well it's finally here!! On Saturday, October 1st DACS will show its newest exhibition live in New York City. The event will be held at the beautiful, 3,000 sq. ft. Red Bull space located in the heart of SoHo.
I'll upload the image I created which will be auctioned at the event as soon as the full line up is announced.

I just found out the work I did for Topshop will now be shown in UK, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, Kuait & UAE ♡girls.gone.global♡

Yiiikes, so now I can finally tell you a little bit about what I've been working on recently...
I've just finished a series of illustrations for Topshop's flagship Oxford Street store. The illustrations which will be part of a new window display, will be launched on 14/09/11 in time for London Fashion Week.
As well as the window visuals, I've also illustrated a series of luxury in-store gifts, which will be given away with special purchases over £50.
Images of everything will be available very soon, but right now this is all the info I'm allowed to give you. I hope it's worth the wait...x

Buy me this & I'd love you forever, I promise x

Elsevier Style magazine / September 2011

Here's some quick shots of a recent commission by Dutch Elseveir Style/Stijl magazine. The article featured six illustrators including myself, all of which were teamed up with a designer and asked to put one of their new garments down on paper. Lucky me had Marni.

Right now I'm working on a top secret project that I unfortunately can't tell you about until mid September,(I can however tell you it's amazing!!) but until then, here's a sneaky look at some products Derwent have sent me for the job. Please note, the small box at the top of the picture is a battery operated sharpener. I for one CAN NOT wait to get that baby up and running!!
I heart Derwent.

All in the name of a new illustration, I've destroyed my old ordinate survey map of where I grew up. It's part of one of my Eisteddfod illustrations:
