A little trip to Brighton.
Our weekend happened to coincide with the Brighton Marathon, which packed out the streets on Sunday- luckily the weather was amazinggg! After exploring the beautiful lanes, home to the cute independent shops and boutiques, we played the 2p machines on the Pier, ate Fish & Chips, walked along the beach in the sunshine, and enjoyed a Choccywoccydoodah dipping pot to finish off the 'holiday'.
This was my first visit to Brighton and I instantly fell in love with the place.. so much so, that I really want to move here! ..(right, I'm off to get planning)

#TedBakerLines
Ted Baker introduce 'Ted's Finishing School'.
Each day throughout the week, from Monday 11th - Friday 15th March, Ted Baker have encouraged followers to get creative and submit an image in response to a daily 'line'.
I have eagerly wanted to submit an entry all week, but due to a busy schedule today has been the only day I have been able to respond. Today's line was "I never compromise on the art of smart" and I came up with this...
Being an illustrator, of course, I decided to illustrate my response within the concept of a fashion illustration. I am totally in love with this Ted Baker- Bird Print Shirt, so took inspiration from this to create my own Ted inspired smart fashion girl. I used my own bird illustrations to create the garment print, which I am super pleased with!
If you're feeling creative.. respond to tomorrow's line, which will be revealed at 11am. Submit an entry through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. (Make sure you hashtag #TedBakerLines for your entry to be valid!) There are prizes up for grabs too, including limited edition tote bags and spot prizes each day.

ASOS Marketplace
I've been away from my blog for a few weeks (my other part-time job kind went full-time for a while!) Anyway, exciting news to unfold.... I am now selling my wares on ASOS Marketplace!
For now, I have only listed my favoured collar clip collection, consisting of my illustrated rose and owl designs. However, I am hoping to develop a larger range and expand on my collection over the next few months- so stay tuned.

I am back!
After 10 days off - I have returned to the studio.
As many of my fellow illustrators will tell you, working as a freelancer can mean you leading a very isolated life at times. The hours spent in the studio working to deadlines, alone, day-by-day, (with only a pencil as a friend), means feeling quite lonely most of the time.
So, from having a ridiculously busy Christmas period, with my illustration work, as well as my part-time job, (and a poorly hand), it deemed necessary to plan a break for January.. and so I did.
First things first- to turn off all incoming emails and all social media notifications to my iPhone! (I was reluctant at first, but it had to be done to fulfill complete tranquility).
I then began my week by spending the first few days with my best pals, having laughs, in a hot tub, in the middle of nowhere, with lots of food and lots of drink. AMAZING. After returning, I spent the rest of my week taking it easy... spending more time with friends, family and my baby nephew. It was just what I needed, and I feel so much better for it.
I'm now back at my desk with a fresh head, full of ideas and lots of plans that I wish to accomplish this year!
Thank you to my friend Megan Kelly for these photographs. x
