I set myself a challenge to create a collection that’s a little different, something to expand my practice and portfolio whilst also boosting attention on my online shop. The challenge, was to work within limited colour pallets and create immersive scenes, as I often find myself falling back into the habit of drawing easier and more straight-forward perspectives that are resultantly far less engaging for my audience. I’m happy to say the end result was worth the challenge!

Having worked in house creating marketing content for the last few months, it was really nice to really focus on a personal project that didn’t have a marketing or editorial context it had to abide to! Not of course that they don’t serve an illustrative purpose, just more decorative! This was also proved by the attention they have received on Instagram and through the first day of sales on my shop!

I made the decision to close my shop in January as my Squarespace subscription will renew, and I’d like to focus and steer my work more in the direction of marketing and editorial, however I wanted to go out with a bang and feel a little success from this side venture, which I definitely have!

Due to lockdown, I had to think about my shop a little differently and plan ahead, I ordered the stock from Awesome Merchandise and I’m incredibly happy with the vibrancy of the colours and amazing quality. I was also able to get them printed on recycled card stock so it’s smiles all round.

The stock is however limited and a few options are already running super low in stock so grab them whilst you can, ideal for Christmas presents too, shop now.
