Card designs

Here are a couple of card designs I have done recently, and I will be uploading more Christmas ones in the next week.

Recent happenings

As you may or may not know I've recently been illustrating vintage fashion for the Cherry Closet Boutique, and here are some of the prints I'm going to be selling at the What Alice Found shop in Boscombe.

I'm also working on opening an etsy shop, it's about time really! So I will be selling the prints there too. (I'm currently working on some christmas cards, which will be available to buy soon)

Additionally, I was interviewed by The Artfuls about my work. Here's the link if you wanted to have a read! http://www.theartfuls.com/interviews/katherine_tromans

Cherry Closet. Winter Edition!

Here's my latest illustration for the Cherry Closet's vintage fashions. Which are available at What Alice Found, Boscombe.

Going to be making up prints of this in A4 and A3 size later for the shop, as well as some of the others I've been drawing. Please let me know if you would like one :)

A couple of nights ago I attended the second private view I have been involved with at Debut Contemporary. Like the previous private view I have been exhibiting my original illustrations and I am currently exhibiting James' Paradise which will be in the gallery for the next month.

James' Paradise - New Work for October Private View

As you may know I'm exhibiting a few of my original paintings, and prints at Debut Contemporary in London, and here is my newest work which will be on show at the October Private View!

It has taken me three weeks to complete and is A1 in size. I created the paradise on the basis of the description James gave me, and this is the result.

To make the picture I studied a lot of plants and flowers from the botanical gardens, as well as including strata, and rocks that I had photographed from the south coast.

I am really happy I am able to show you all. I will be making it into prints if anyone is interested.

Sneak Peek at New work..

Hello! It's been a while since I updated, and that's because I've been working a few weeks now on a new painting, and a commission, as well as getting ready for my private view at Debut Contemporary, Notting Hill (need to post up pictures from the night!)

But I've finally finished my A1 painting, and here's a sneak peek for you all to have a gander at, I'm going to get a high quality scan done so I will be revealing it soon, and making it into prints if anyone is interested.

Cherry Closet

Here's my second drawing for the Cherry Closet, and will be available shortly as a print!

BRINK London Exhibition

I've just got back from BRINK, our end of year Bournemouth Illustration Show which was held at Free Range, at the Old Truman Brewery. I exhibited three A1 original drawings from my major project.

It was a great week, and I learnt so much about putting on an exhibition, let's hope there's more to come!

Little Van Goghs

So I've been doing design work for a lovely little company called Little Van Goghs, that specialise in 'personalised art prints for little people.' The artwork is created by Sheila Lancaster.

I've been working on postcards and thank you cards. I have a flyer still to do so I should be posting that up soon..

Featured..

So there have been a couple of features of my work as of late! I was featured in 'Fuss Magazine,' a new magazine focusing on new emerging talent created by Abby Wiltshire.

And I also was featured on Sketchbook Magazine's blog as Illustrator of the day, where they showcased my portfolio!

Promotional Material for upcoming exhibitions...

It's my private show in Bournemouth tomorrow. Will be uploading pictures of the exhibition and final pieces soon..

Paradise Final Illustrations

Here are my final illustrations for my paradise project, the final project of my degree.

These are all hand-drawn and painted, at A1 size.

I will be exhibiting all of these at my Degree Show in Bournemouth for a week commencing the 23rd of May.

As well as Bournemouth, I will be exhibiting them in London at the BRINK show, as part of Free Range at the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane between the 7th-11th of July!

Louise's Paradise

Paradise...

Here are a couple of the latest images from my current project which I am doing on the theme of paradise. I collected descriptions from different people what their paradise would look like, and then tried to interpret them..

just playing around with abstraction, and colour with these, but I am working towards creating 3 final images.

Feedback is welcome! would like to know what you think..

London Fashion Week - Amelia's Magazine

This is an adventure..

Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration Book Launch

So on Friday I was lucky enough to go to Amelia's Launch Party for the book at 123 Bethnal Green. Here is me with my plus one for the night, my lovely boyfriend James.

The venue was tucked behind a vintage shop, and the party was held on several floors, with the band 6 Day Riot playing on the upper floor, and a DJ set from the Pipettes, and later on Will from the Mystery Jets.

Illustrator Krister Selin with the Pipettes

The bottom floor was where I got this gorgeous goody bag, with customised moleskine and tatty devine necklace with the amelia logo... absolutely love the tote too!

And Here's the cake by Lily Vanilli.. it tasted and looked amazing, with the most delicious icing ever..

I had a great time meeting the designers and other illustrators who have also been published in the book, and who I also follow on Twitter. It was so great to finally meet them in person!

Illustrators Abby Wright, Myself and Krister Selin

And here's Amelia Gregory looking great, Well done Amelia for organising such a great party!

Up in the air

Last week I entered a competition for 'This is something,' and my entry got picked as one of the prints to be sold at the event. It's happening next Tuesday, at Sixty Million postcards. If you are in and around Bournemouth you should definitely come :)

Mia Jafari Sketchbook Competition

I was asked to illustrate the winning scarf which was illustrated by Florence Bamberger.

My pages in Amelia's Compendium of Fashion Illustration

If you read my earlier blog posts you will know that I won Amelia's Magazine's Open Brief Competition as one of the Illustrators to design a fashion collection and be featured in her latest book.

I finally got my copy of it over Christmas, a couple of days before in fact, and what a great present!

It was the same time last year that I was opening my Amelia's Anthology of Illustration, so to be actually in this installment is a little surreal!

I'm very happy with my pages, I think they turned out really well, all the pages are jam-packed full of colour and pattern. Especially loving the layouts Amelia has created, she's done such a great job!
