1920 Electric Cinema Christmas Card complete!

I am very happy to share this brand new design paying homage to The Electric Cinema that is available to buy from my etsy shop online and will soon be fully stocked at The Electric Cinema box office and online. I wanted to capture the flippant charm of 20's fashion illustration set against the iconic art deco bar in the cinema.

'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.

Electric Cinema Christmas Card coming!

Beside an illustration I am working on for the Electric Cinema, I am illustrating a Christmas Card to sell at the Electric this festive season!

'Next Stop, Christmas!' Card

This is my final design for the Next Stop, Christmas! card. I have added a snowy road to the car so it isn't floating in the air. The snow on the christmas tree gives a much more wintery festive feel so this was a nice touch to add.

Here the car still looks plain and the tree just looks like a random tree.

The white background is more contemporary, however as a vintage card I feel the card should be more inviting and old fashioned with a warm Christmassy feel.

It's Settling, Get Doris

I've gone for a more vintage approach on one of the Christmas Card ranges for this year, old 1920s cars with more classic colour palettes.

Update 3

Latest update, next to add some snow

Christmas card update 2

Here is the 2nd update on my illustrated Christmas cards for this year. I've been using a mask to colour individual sections rather than plain layers as masks allow me to completely change the layer colour.

Christmas Cards 2014, first update!

Here is the first illustration, I will be colouring the designs and adding what I believe are greatly humorous one liners. You decide..
