Christmas cards now available at Blackhall Framing Gallery, Edinburgh! :o)

Fashion Africa, by Jacqueline Shaw. I finally got hold of the published article- complete with my illustrations! Yippee!!

As much as I hate the thought, Christmas is coming, and will here be before you know it! So here's a couple of card designs I've produced and hope to get printed in the run up to the festive season! Enjoy!

Pet portraits. Not my favourite area of illustration, nor am I pleased with the image quality here, but needs must! I guess it shows what else I can do...

Robert Laidler's Jockney Rhyming Slang.

OutSmart exhibition 2011.

I was privileged enough to have my work exhibited in a Smart Car showroom exhibition this year as part of OutSmart ,an initiative by Gemma Randall. I received some images of the exhibition yesterday, and was pleased to be offered the chance to exhibit the piece this Saturday at Mercedes Benz world.

Fashion Africa, by Jaqueline Shaw is now available to buy here. The book showcases over 45 of Africa's well known fashion designers, with emphasis on ethical and environmentally friendly design and manufacturing. My illustrations are featured in the book, amongst those of several other incredibly talented artists!

Yesterday I returned from a month of Volunteering in Thailand. Here is the result of hours waiting in the Dubai airport department lounge. Lesson learned:- Long 9 hour waits can be good for my portfolio...

So here are the images I illustrated a few months ago for the book Fashion Africa, by Jacqueline Shaw. I'm not sure entirely which images made it into the final publications, but I thought they were worth putting up here anyway. :)

My friends Abi and Julz have recently established the We Are Caravan gallery. I should hopefully be showing work in their upcoming exhibition. I'll be making sure my hula dancer is included!

I got myself a fabulous Facebook page!! Have a sneaky peek here!!!

If you like piña coladas....

Image for my friend's sports team 'The Black Eagles'. This should be printed on shirts in the coming weeks! Ill post images once I've got hold of the strip!!

I've recently completed some illustrations for a book about ethical African fashion. Some of the brands include Banuq, Afro-Chique, and Kiki Clothing.

They are all really vibrant designers, and I can't wait to see my drawings in print! Unfortunately I can't give too much away right now until the book is launched (hence the lack of images) but I'll keep you posted on how things develop!!

'Giveaway' flag design for the Olympic torch relay. I didn't win. C'est la vie!

Some sketch book doodles for your perusal! I'd like to develop my sketches, and transfer some to t-shirt designs. Any requests, just let me know!! xo
