Come and meet my new friend! She's basically a Hispanic version of me, with actual curves... cursed boy figure of mine... I was just doodling away and she sort of popped out! I think she was getting bored of sitting in my head. Any suggestions for a name will be very welcome :D
My poster design for the second 'Satellites' open mic night at the Amble Inn - inspired by the retro designs of Eric Tan. Although admittedly far more 80s :D
The first open mic is TOMORROW! If you're in the Hertfordshire area and need something to do, then come check it out!

I've been working on the logo for an up-and-coming theatre company recently, and whilst I can't show you the final I can show you this - a little play around I had with colour and texture.
We were going for a Baz Lurmann, Red Curtain Trilogy type of deal, but I think this looks more Tarantino-esque...?

Well, as the drawing juices don't seem to be running yet today, I thought I may as well blog something.
A little revamp of a Primary School logo I did for a friend - your daily dose of cute! :D
Before my next big project, I decided some exploration was required with regards to rendering techniques... I've gone back to the old-school with a bit of texture and even some Photoshop brushes (eek!!) I haven't quite made my mind up yet, it's very difficult for me to stray away from the the pancake-flat without feeling out of my depth, but you never know...
Oh yes, and apparently this year is indeed the Chinese year of the 'Metal Rabbit', when we are supposed to support our families and loved ones through deeds and not words - i.e. by keeping our mouths shut and our heads down! Good advice if I ever heard it :)
Another logo design for Hertfordshire based company 'Custom Made Carpentry and Joinery Ltd'. They do pretty much everything from wardrobes to whole staff kitchen re-fittings... It was pretty hard to come up with a logo that told you all this! So I just drew a lovely dovetail joint instead :) Custom Made's new website isn't up yet, but if you feel like a look at what they do, visit www.custommadecarpentryjoinery.co.uk I did a leaflet design too, which should be winging its way around the area pretty soon...
Hi, I'm Jess and I am an illustrator living and working in St. Albans in the UK. Things that are purple and/or patterned please me a lot. I also like vintage pin-ups, Glam Rock and white chocolate buttons. If I were you, I wouldn't ask me for directions or how to wire a plug, but if it's pictures you want - I'm your girl.
