ILLUSTRATED EP COVER

photo belongs to Ben Haynes

Today I want to share a very special commission with you guys. A friend of mine, Ben Haynes asked me to illustrate his EP cover for his title track Whisper In My Ear. He's an amazing singer, player of instruments, lyrical genius and if you only do one thing today it must be to listen to his music. I was so honoured to be asked to illustrate as it's been a long standing dream of mine to work on something as amazing as this, but with it also being a friend who asked it made it even more significant. 

I'd absolutely love to work with more bands and artists as music is very dear to my heart and I adore collaborating with people. 

And if you're reading this, good luck with your tour, Ben!

TIGERPRINT HAND DRAWN COMPETITION ♥

These are the illustrations I did for the lovely Hand Drawn Tigerprint competition. I've been lucky enough to be featured on their blog before now with the Tea & Crayons lovelies! It was a really fun and creative way to spend my afternoons and gave me the opportunity to experiment with my great love for typography as well as look at other colours I'd not used before- like pink and green! I like the combination, it's fresh and modern and I think it's turned out pretty well :)
