Here's a delicious perfume bottle by Alexander McQueen.

I'm now taking commissions for October, so do get in touch- you know it makes scents (arf)!

I couldn’t resist drawing this scrumptious, plumptious Dior Addict Lip maximiser 😋🫦
If you know someone who needs my illustration services, word of mouth is very helpful- with or without lip gloss 💋

@pencils4tea last Thursday 🤩
I had to keep dipping in and out so couldn’t catch em all, but lots of lovely fun nonetheless.

All about 3-4 minutes long, drawn with brush pen on ancient mathematical paper.

Caution: nude fella alert ‼️ 👀

Heavens to Murgatroyd, more nudity- but it’s ok Mr Zuckerberg, it’s art! In fact it’s life drawing @thecroydonartsociety ✍️🕺

A great model, Steve Ritter, and a lovely quiet evening

In this vid I was more sensible and used a tiny brush.

(If you listen carefully to the second video you’ll hear my son singing along to Van Halen in the background. Shall I leave it in ?🤘🎸)

Big brush, little details- bit of a gamble!

There’s a hidden word in this illustration, can you find it or should I make it more obvious? 🤔

I’m thinking of doing a whole fashion alphabet featuring designers.

Answer-this one’s McQueen in Monaco 🇲🇨

I’ll have what she’s having…

Ooh pink metallic pencil on a rather risqué dress! I love finding new materials to create texture.

So much fun live illustrating in the park today, at White Horse Rec.

Everyone I met was so kind and lovely, it was uplifting to be reminded that there is so much good in the world.

It’s heartwarming to be part of such a special community ❤️

Me getting over my hang-ups about filming myself, whilst listening to @davidspeeduk on the fantastic @creativerebelspodcast . Today he’s talking to artist @brookecormier , always worth a listen.

Quick drawings at Beckenham Mansion when I visited the @so_last_century vintage market. Very hard to resist buying loads of stuff!
It was very busy, and a great atmosphere.
I should’ve taken a photo to go with my drawing so you can see how spectacular Beckenham Mansion is.

Wonderful, colourful @pencils4tea tonight. The playlist was great, every song a different colour, so I had to keep grabbing my Promarkers! #illustrationartist #portraitart

Here’s a 30-second video I created while learning How Algorithms Affect Everything, with @Adam Aleksic and @David Speed . Like alligators, algorithms can be your friend- but be careful how much you feed them! #algorithms #data #communication #graphicrecording #liveillustration

I went to this great thing yesterday, and illustrated the talks on my ipad.
And if you have a meeting coming up that you'd like me to illustrate, let me know!

Wedding illustration details- it’s not just about the people, where would you be without your accessories (and your chunky platform shoes!) on your big day?
I love to draw every little thing and I’m now open for bookings :)
