Scribbling away…

…on whatever little scrap of paper I may come across.

This one was green.

Honestly, I have so many of these sketches all over the place, it’s maddening. My girls are everywhere: at home, on my desk at work, inside the drawers, on the kitchen table, and so on. I should really start to collect them and do something with them. Maybe an illustration collage at some point? That might be a nice project.

Good week so far? :)

Fashion Africa

A couple of months ago I was commissioned to produce illustration for Fashion Africa, a beautiful new book about African Fashion Design by designer, blogger and founder of the Africa Fashion Guide, Jacqueline Shaw.

I was thrilled! Apart from being such a wonderful project, the designs I was asked to illustrate were the most colorful and charismatic pieces I have seen in a long time. An absolute joy to draw!

The book launch is on Friday, 9th September, in London. I can’t post the full drawings yet, but here are some sneaky peeks:

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go to London for the book launch. It’s a shame, as I would LOVE to attend and do some live illustration on the spot (like I did for the launch of Amelia’s Compendium of Fashion Illustration. It was amazing!).

I can’t wait to see the book, though. I am expecting some very bright and colorful pages.

For more details about the launch, the book and its author, visit the African Fashion Guide website here.

Lots of love from Lisbon.

♥ Good morning, world!

I was backing up my computer just now, and found this very old scribble I did a million years ago. I love finding old illustration work, especially when it’s unexpected. Sometimes I cringe, other times, I laugh. This is a cute one, I think. I like the dress.

♥ I’m sorry if I’ve been a little absent lately. I’ve had so much work to do, it’s unreal! Apart from working on an enormous advertising campaign, I am also rushing to try to finish two books I am illustrating. So please do bear with me, I’ll be on good form once the madness is over.

Hahaha. I wish! Via Pinterest.

Have a great week, everyone.

Lots of love from Lisbon.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
