Cushion covers and competitions.

As promised, new artwork as it comes off the desk. All these designs I did for competitions, some using old work and some new.

These illustrations were for a clothing company who were looking for a design to put on their Christmas pyjamas. I chose the theme of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker to come up with these Christmas-sy figures.    

While these two cushion cover designs are for an online company selling illustrated products called Ohh Deer

Keep your fingers crossed.

Christmas?

Yes, I know, Christmas has been and gone for another year and so you may well wonder at my writing it as the title for this post. The fact is that I am continuing in the spirit of my blog so far, in posting now, what I should have posted four weeks ago, if I was any good at keeping abreast of my work. These images, therefore, are from just before Christmas when I found myself trying to create personal presents for my wonderful friends while on a tight student budget! The result was a room strewn with miniscule pieces of cut paper, a desk piled high with the same and of course, the actual images themselves, cut from the pages of the books.
