Dream
Hello everyone!
This is my first post for Illustration Dust and i'm really excited about it. I want to share a digitally colored illustration that i made before.
Introducing: Tea & Crayons Illustration Collective!
Very exciting news; I am pleased to announce that I, along with 5 other lovely ladies, have formed the new illustration collective, Tea & Crayons.
It’s been very exciting, and at the moment, we are very fledgling, but we’re hoping to use the collective as support for all of us as we further our illustration careers, as well as a platform to showcase our work, and organise exhibitions and promotional material together!
We've kicked off with weekly illustration themes; this week we've challenged ourselves to illustrate 'Snacks'. We're also embarking on a touring sketchbook project; sending it round to each of us and filling it with doodles, sketches and goodness!
Contributors are:
- Kayleigh Bluck
- itslikeart
- Rachel Lewis Illustration
- tea & crayons
- the secret tea party
- Abby Illustration
Very excited to be working with these girls; even though we are from all corners of the UK, we all share a similar aesthetic and goals. We’re hoping to take the pressure off each other by creating a network of creative (and probably emotional!) support so we can get achieve our goals!

My introduction can be seen here – but check back everyday for frequent news from us!
New work from Rachel Lewis: Proud Kitchen Launch Night for Amelia's Magazine
Last week I was commissioned by Amelia’s Magazine to produce a couple of illustrations for an article by Jessica Furseth about the launch of new Camden restaurant, Proud Kitchen.
The article discusses last Thursday’s opening; above is an illustration describing the space - it's an extension of what is already known as a venue for music, art, cabaret and clubbing – the launch of Proud Kitchen completes the experience. It's an old converted stable so you can still see the original features like windows and beams, in the above illustration.
A starter of bresaola of beef, with piccalilli and sourdough toast, above. Looks so yummy – illustrating food from a photo is never quite as good as when you get to make it and eat it yourself!
Check out Proud Kitchen here - Looks amazing, I really want to check it out!
New illustration for Amelia's Magazine
This is an illustration I did recently for Amelia's Magazine (www.ameliasmagazine.com), for an article on ceramicist Sophie Woodrow.
Comic
Here is a comic strip I've done for an online creative magazine - best of it is that is based on a true experience.
Evan & Elle
For the event in Hinckley on 20th November, an image that will be reproduced as a limited edition print. It took a little longer than usual but this has two bears and I enjoy painting flames.
Graphic Artists Guild Newsletter Cover
Greetings, Dusters! I've been a member here for awhile now, but this is my very first post. It's an illustration I did for the upcoming Graphic Artists Guild newsletter. The theme was how we are all connected by digital media. I took my inspiration from former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens' infamous remark that the internet was "a series of tubes."
There is a Bad Taste Bears collectors event in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK on 20th November. I'll be showing a history of the brand and the evolution of the illustration style.
I'm planning to have some originals available for sale. Here is one of the pieces that will be looking for a new home. There are others but they are too large for the scanner.

Recipe Illustration for Central Station's ‘TwEATS’ Publication with NVA Harvest
Another exciting thing that happened recently is I took part in Central Station's 'TwEATS' Publication competition - create images for recipes submitted by Central Station members, for publication in the newspaper which was to accompany their ‘twEATS’ event; an online mass-cookery class delivered through twitter.
My recipe was chosen and appeared on the back page! Take a look:

New Work from Rachel: London Fashion Week Illustrations for Amelia's Magazine
So sorry guys, haven't updated you with any of my new work in ages! Trying to juggle a full time graphic design job with freelance illustration and a life is proving tricky. Heh.
So these illustrations were commissioned by Amelia's Magazine for London Fashion Week in September. I illustrated Bernard Chandran's SS11 range:

It's been a bit since I last posted here, busy busy busy (not as much as I would like to but still) - this is something I finished recently, a 70's business man ..... love the mustache!!
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
Going Down The Road Feeling Bad
I posted a sneak preview on my twitter the other day of the Antwerp Deadheadz van that I recently painted and I've just finished editing a video that I made of it!...
This was a collaboration between myself and the band Antwerp Deadheadz. They asked me to paint their van and initially I was just going to make a short stop motion video of the painting but then we thought it would be nice to make it into a little narrative and include one of the band's tracks. So, we took the van on a little trip to and from being painted around the home streets of Antwerp...
