Bournville, Reykjavik and Orsay Christmas Cards available now!

My Christmas Shop is now open at etsy here.

New designs include Bournville Green, featuring the Rest House, Carillon and carol singers on the Green.

I challenged myself to produce a panoramic illustration encapsulating the magic of Reykjavik.

The back of the design is a collection of spot illustrations including charming characters and the illuminated graveyard in Iceland.

The Orsay Museum once was a train station constructed for the turn of the century. Gare d'Orsay reimagines the 1900-set train station against a Parisian backdrop.

'Montmarte 1895' Map progress

Almost finished the third building so I have dropped it into the map and have started playing with potential background colours.

I want it to be rooted in an old fashioned palette but with some contemporary tones so it doesn't look dull Maybe some strong typography to make it current or some nice textures to liven it up.

I think the key to the background is less is more, so it doesn't upstage the actual illustrated landmarks.

Moulin Rouge Illustration

This is the first of 14 illustrations for my 'Montmartre 1895' Illustrated Map. I want to bring to life the whimsical buzz of Montmartre at the end of the 19th Century and celebrate the rich population of budding artists, writers and musicians around this time in Paris.

Paris Museums

I have been wanting to produce an illustration based on the most famous and iconic Paris museums and galleries celebrating Paris' great artists and writers. I will be selling this illustration as a limited and numbered run of 100 prints at my etsy shop here!

Boot Café Lovin'

The Boot Café have kindly posted the first update of my illustration on their own account! I will be making them up into greeting cards before I head to Paris in May. My work definitely suits a more European audience and whilst on holiday it is a good opportunity to make some inroads. 

If I can put my work in their gallery space it'd be great. I am aiming to get one or two more designs of this series made up and put in and around cafés in Montmartre and Versailles! Watch this space...
