Twisted daydream

As promised, here's my latest digital illustration


I'll be honest, I'm quite proud of this one :)
The model is my ex-flatmate Jenny. She's studied ballet which makes her an amazing model and she's a lot of fun to work with. I'm already working on another picture of her, a snow globe themed one!
And because I love it when artists share their progress pictures. I thought I'd share a before and after picture, so you can see the original photo I used and which elements were altered or added


I'll be back soon with more new work :)

Long overdue new post!

Well, I'm officially terrible at updating this. Mid-February and the first thing you can see on my blog is "Merry Christmas"...!

These little dollies were completed a while ago but I never posted photos of them here. So here they are, Lulu and Irina:





they're both available in the shop.


And this is the doll that I'm currently working on. It's a bad photo and doesn't really do her justice. She actually has legs now and her outfit is almost completed. I hope to finish her really soon and post more photos.



This is slightly random bot I took a felting workshop and wanted to share my first experiments!
Not exactly great, I know, but I'm happy with them, given that they were my first tries.


That's all for now. I'll be back soon with a post about my new digital artwork.
Take care everyone :)

Merry Christmas!



...to all and to all a good night.



I love this holiday... the lights, the sweets, the presents, the decorations, spending time with loved ones, always makes me feel so warm inside :)
Now I'm off to watch every single movie version of A Christmas Carol ever made..



Have a wonderful time and spread the love x

Digital Wonderland

Just some more of my digital artwork. The models for these are two of my closest childhood friends, Sylvia and Niki. The three of us basically grew up together, all living on the same street and going to the same schools. Since finishing school, we have all moved away -although I have just moved back to said street- and unfortunately we see each other a lot less. So last summer we decided to have a reunion and as part of that, a photoshoot! So the original photos that I used for these images are from part 2 of our reunion. (part 1 was when we realized that Sylvia's appartment would be a great place for photos!)


Pale Magic (Sylvia)


Blue Embraced (Sylvia)


The Still Traveller (Niki)



Hope you like them :)

Comic book inspired doll & wip

Hello blog world! :)
First of all I'd like to introduce my latest doll, Zoe.

I wanted to create a comic book inspired doll, with vibrant colours, a superhero mask and a dresss made out of a comic book page-style fabric that I had in my fabric collection. I actually really enjoyed this and might make more comic book inspired dolls in the future.

And this is a snap of the doll I am currently working on.. It's not a good photo and doesn't do her justice. I'll post more soon. She's a lot more detailed than my other dolls and is based on a concept/story that is very dear to my heart.


Until my next post... take care everyone :)
