Custom Dachshund Illustration / Pursuit Of Feliticy

Have you checked out Felicity's business website make over? If you haven't, I suggest you pop over and have a sticky beak at her new layout and see some of her recent design work. The cute little dachshund was a custom illustration I made for Felicity and I couldn't be happier with how he turned out!

An Illustration / Trainee Mama

[ check out Trainee Mama for full design ]

I'm really excited to share my most recent illustration that I've been working on this past week for a new blog, Trainee Mama. Peta, who ordinarily blogs over at The Sea & Me Change, has started a sassy new side blog about her transition into motherhood. If you're a first time mum, or a mum to be, join Peta as she shares her "experiences, triumphs, catastrophe's and life". I've really enjoyed what I've read so far, and as a first time mum myself am looking forward to reading along with her experiences. 

Custom Portrait - Alex & Phil

The photo supplied

The illustration received 

I haven't shared any illustrations I've done lately, and I wanted to share this particular custom portrait I was commissioned to do for a Christmas present last year. Alex wanted to surprise her fiancé with a drawing of the two of them from their engagement photo shoot. She sent me a selection of images from the shoot, and this photo really stood out to me. Drawing this illustration was such a delight because Alex & her fiancé Phil seem like such a lovely couple and you can really see the love in their photograph. I sent Alex three versions of the illustrations - one with the illustration overlaying the photograph, the illustration above, and a version of the love birds without the illustrative graffiti background.

A Recent Custom Portrait

Late last week I finished up this custom illustration for the loveliest lady, Edie. She is a customer at my work and a couple of months ago she asked me about one of my tattoos and the conversation led to how I studied graphic design and love drawing custom portraits of people. So for her son's birthday she was putting together a photo book of all the travelling they have done together and this illustration is going to be on the cover of the book. I think it is going to be such a sweet gift and I can't wait to hear about it when she gets home from giving it to him. Edie & her son are from California, so it is also exciting to think that one of my illustrations will find a home half way across the world!

A Custom Illustration / Pursuit Of Felicity

One of my favourite bloggers Felicity, who blogs over at Pursuit Of Felicity, asked me to illustrate one of her favourite photographs of her best friends as a present for their birthday. I illustrated a previous portrait for Felicity earlier on in the year for her boyfriend's birthday, which you can check out here. In the photograph the twins faces are slightly cut off on the sides, this was something Felicity wanted to change for the illustration, and ended up looking a lot better. I also did little changes like the twin on the left currently has blonde hair, so Felicity provided a recent photograph of her so I could adjust her hair colour, a 'bff' necklace was added, as was a colourful background to give the illustration a kick of colour. I sent Felicity the illustration in two sizes she requested, and with a blank background so she could add her own if she wanted to change it up in the future. If you'd like something similar for yourself, or for a present, send me an email for more info and prices. I'd love to hear from you!
