Sweet Evelyn finished design + more of my work

Gift Vouchers + Sweet Evelyn

WOW  this month has been ridiculously busy, one of my best friends since birth is getting married this weekend it will be a wedding not to forget! (i will take loads of photos you wont be disappointed) not to mention my work been in a gallery in Wagga, having a chest infection THAT WONT GO AWAY, doing breaky shifts at the restaurant i work at 6.30am starts is the pits ha ha, AND doing a whole heaps of design work for people and places in Wagga.

Gift Voucher- So i went to get my car re-detailed and cleaned at a place called Dwyer's Car Care, while there i got to talking to with the owners and they informed me they needed a graphic designer to design some gift vouchers for them. I jumped at the chance and deigned these Gift vouchers for them.

Sweet Evelyn- My good friend Amy who studied as a pastry chef, and make the most amazing cakes, has decided she wants to start her own business making cakes. The name of the company is 'Sweet Evelyn' (Evelyn was her Grand mother, and is apparently where Amy gets her wicked baking skills from). so i have been working on the Logo, Business card and price list.

back from break, and back to it!

 Well it's almost been a month, and i thought i'd better come back from 'sabbatical' (aka working like a dog for the money at my hospitality jobs) and post some more of my works, that i some how have managed to work on. .I also have exciting news, I've been ask to help collaborate and showcase some of my works at a new gallery in Wagga Wagga, pretty exciting.

finished work...and then some more

well as i think I've finished one design i start on another, then fall behind with the design I've almost finished, its a horrible cycle ha ha. Anyhow here is one of my design finished, the pen drawing of the model i think has turned out well, let me know what you all think, the snake skin background kind of plays off that killer glare she has going on. the other images are just projects i'm working on, so i thought i would put them up as well  A spread for a magazine on the Metro-sexual, and an image i'm working on for a campaign for work safety enjoy.

short story- Ink Illustration (images 6-8)

short story- Ink Illustration

So this is a short story Illustration i am working on about a boy that goes shopping with his mum and his beloved teddy. He drops his teddy and lets go off his mothers hand, and ends up getting lost. As a small boy he soon becomes over whelmed by the vast size of the supermarket and the separation of his mother, luckily he has his teddy. ( images 1-5)

work in progress

just a drawing i'm working on at the moment its a bit of a mash of medias:

• lead pencil
• pen
• colour pencil
• watercolour
• paper
• buttons (yes i actually sowed the sequins on..i impressed myself ha)
• markers

I might do a few drawings of this girl, because i really want to experiment with different textures on the dress and different hair styles, leave it with me, and let me know what you think, i hate drawing hands so it will be the last thing i do!

my new work

So, i have put up a few more of my drawings that currently working on. Bit unsure what i'm going to do with a few of them. But i will muck around in Photoshop and see if anything comes together, ah Photoshop where would i be without you.

Image1 (girls with eyes closed)

This little drawing was done at university (in a very boring lecture). I love using pen for drawing its great for simple outlines, really strong definition, and to create the idea of movement like the girls hair. She just looks so peaceful i couldn't let her get lost among my university notes (or lack off notes from that class ha).

Image 2 (Pattern + Text)

Currently going to be made into a design for a friends wedding present. the pattern is all paper (yes i cut out little triangles of paper to make this... so annoying i'm still finding off cuts and things all through my bedroom!) And the Text relates to how i always feel about things in life, specially in hospitality when people do and say such stupid things and you are not aloud to laugh at them...example two gentlemen came into my work the other night and ordered the girlish cocktails all night it was pretty funny.

Image 3 (model)

still a work in progress i love her eyes so serious, and the pen really expresses the flowing style of her dress. I'm thinking about snake skin patterns or something in the background, leave it with me.

Image 4 (butterfly)

I've got a real thing for butterflies at the moment, don't know why?, anyway still working on this one too, and i seem to be getting good at drawing hair, which worries me a little, but least it something have to learn how to draw hands, god their hard!
