I did this little drawing a few days ago, but unfortunately haven't got round to colouring it yet and I have to go away! Boo :( I may colour it when I get back, what do you think?
Oooh, so it seems I haven't posted anything up in a while... here are the last of my Halloween-based doodlings! (Not including the bucket-load of facepainting I did over the weekend - great fun :D)
Obviously, the part of this design I enjoyed most was the Rocky Horror Picture Show portraits - I was thinking of making a retro t-shirt design out them, what do you think?
And here's the poster for the kid's event - not quite as epic as the one I did for the Amble Inn, but still pretty fun I think... gotta love a good dark purple/ glowing green combo! It was harder than I thought to think of sweets that are both recognisable and easy to draw - almost forgot about the marshmallow fangs! :O But got them in there in the end :) Anyway, hope everyone had a lovely weekend and enjoys the actual day today! Is it just me, or does it feel like it's been Halloween for about 3 weeks??
Oooh and if you want to see an example of my facepainting from Saturday, take a looky here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=505436252#!/photo.php?fbid=10150359471451921&set=t.505436252&type=1&theater
Inspired by 80s family films and fueled by various John Williams soundtracks, I produced this! Probably one of the most rewarding illustrations I've done :D It fills me with childlike glee...
Unfortunately I don't think the colours show up too brightly on the web :-/
2nd installment of the Halloween Poster series :D I'm really looking forward to this one, as I shall be taking part in the 'Thriller' flash mob. Woohoo!
'The Hare and Hounds Halloween Beer Festival' (featuring the Headless Horseman) - the first of many Halloween poster commissions I have lined up over the next few days, so watch this space!
Who can complain about being busy when drawing spooky things is so much fun?
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.
