The lovely Tracy Collins from travel blog “Tracy’s Travels in Time” contacted me about a new banner for her blog. She wanted warm colours (she LOVES orange and so do I!) and a good mixture of different landmarks, which is one of my favourite things to draw.

We also decided to turn all the different landmarks that I illustrated into individual icons. That way, she can always add fun little illustrations to her posts, to go alongside her photographs.

Tracy has been EVERYWHERE! I always consider myself to be quite well travelled, until I talk to someone like Tracy who has really seen the world. It’s inspiring to say the least.

Follow Tracy’s adventures on her blog and also her facebook page.

And if you’re thinking about getting a new banner for your blog, I would be more than happy to assist. Check out my Etsy Shop for more details.

New shop opening soon

I have received the most beautiful art prints for my new shop! I am opening an Etsy shop very soon and I’m stocking up on lots of fabulous goodies.

Here is a sneak peek of my Vintage Girls. They were printed on gorgeous Tintoretto Gesso paper, which is one of my favourite papers ever! It has a delicious texture that brings out the colors beautifully.

I illustrated these girls a while back but I’m still very proud of them. They seem to be rather popular too, which is so flattering! I think the soft tones and the details make this a very feminine piece. It looks quite lovely on a nice frame, I must say. ♥

Stay tuned for more news about my Etsy shop. There will be lots of beautiful art there, as well as custom-made pieces to order. I have loved Etsy for years now (who hasn’t?) and I am beyond excited to be opening my own shop! I’ll let you all know as soon as it’s ready.

Lots of love from England.
