Bespoke Baby Portrait

'Delilah'

I've just finished a portrait commission of this gorgeous little girl. I used pencil and watercolour, and she will soon be float mounted in a beautiful vintage-looking white frame, hand made by Fine Framing.

If you'd like any information about commissioning a portrait please drop me an email.

My hand-made book 'Five!'

A while back I posted an illustration from a book project I was working on. It was a collaboration with a fellow artist whose short story I illustrated in pencil... and we then turned the project into a limited edition of 200 handmade books. The project has been going from strength to strength... we had a launch party at the National Theatre a few weeks ago, and since then have sold well over half of our copies. We're really delighted! The book has been stocked by several independent bookshops in London, and has been featured on amazing websites like Ape On The Moon, Zero2Illo and Book By Its Cover. You can buy a copy, leave a comment, or just check it out over at the blog http://www.thefivebook.blogspot.com

Sketch

Here is a quick sketch I did the other day at home on my moleskine (always with me). There is something dark and sad about this character, but I like it.

An Art Nouveau Owl

Hi folks! This is my first post on Illustration Dust and the work so far has been pretty amazing. So I hope mine passes muster!

I made this painting as a submission for the upcoming Cheap Zine book about art nouveau and fashion (don't know if it's actually made it in but I'm keeping my fingers crossed...) The bird is a barn owl, and the flowers on the wallpaper are cornflowers and corn marigolds. It was just a bit of fun really but I'm pleased with the result.

If you like my work I have a website (though it's in the process of being revamped) and also a blog of my very own. So feel free to head on over and take a look!

Thank you for reading,

Emma
