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!

Vintage Fashion Illustrations

This is a new project I've started, I'm drawing vintage fashion Illustrations for fashion boutique the Cherry Closet where prints will be sold!

This is the first one, there will be more to follow..

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!
