Movember Monster.

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

This is my Movember moustache themed illustration for Creature Mag's Moustache Illustration Awards.

Endangered Creature Alphabet.

I am excited that I am able to announce the launch of the Endangered Creature Alphabet! This is a project I have been wanting to talk about for ages, but until now I've had to keep it a secret. Now, however, the project is live, and I am finally able to tell you all a little more about it! :]

The Endangered Creature Alphabet is a collaborative project which was initiated and organised by Creature Mag. The project celebrates 26 of the many thousands of species under threat with collection of 26 illustrations by 26 different artisits- one animal was chosen for each letter of the alphabet. As Matt Witt explains, the aim of the project was to 'bring together a group of artists to create something that would highlight the plight of endangered species and hopefully enlighten and educate some minds.'

I was one of the 26 artists chosen to illustrate an endangered species, and I was given the letter N, the chosen animal for this letter being the Northern Spotted Owl. It was a lovely animal to illustrate, with beautiful intricately patterned feathers which were amazing to try and bring to life using collage.

The final outcome of the project is an E-book - an illustrated collection of threatened species. It contains all 26 illustrations, along with an insightful foreword by John Farndon, and a scale which explains the different risk categories which highlight the level of risk that each animal is currently at.

Other artists involved in the project include Kerri-Ann Hulme, Tia Eastwood, Anna-Jane Searle and Emily May Hopgood, and the E-book is full of some really beautiful illustrations. Personally, I really enjoyed this project -the final outcome is an amazing example of collaborative work, and was definitely worth the wait.

The Young Creatives.

Just a little post to bring all your attention to The Young Creatives - a lovely blog which serves as a platform for young people to showcase their work. I was lucky enough to be featured last month - you can check out the full article here.

They are always looking for more creative people (under the age of 25) to feature on their blog - so if you're interested, then it's definitely worth checking out!

In other news, my work has also recently been featured on this lovely blog - the girl who wrote it also taught me that Tartaruga Feliz means 'happy turtle' in Portuguese, which I think is pretty damn cute - and my rainbow rain print was featured on Oooh Yum. Also, you can check out a couple of my one-minute creatures on CreatureMag.

Hello Creatures!

These little illustrations will soon be available as a set of three cute postcards in my Etsy shop. Perfect for sending cute messages, or just to make somebody smile.

A couple of these illustrations were also included as part of a Valentine's feature on Creature Mag yesterday.
