pre-collection illustrations...

     

yep so these are a few images from my pre-collection, i guess i rabble on about doing menswear but then don't back myself up, i was inspired to put up some illustrations after seeing a striped shirt come into store today that took me back to this collection sooo i thought why not... 

the inspiration from the collection started with images of circus freaks, it later progressed and i took just one element of my original concept idea. for me, lionel the lion man was that one element. i played around with replacing the stripes in my fabric with coloured fur, using stripes in different thicknesses, directions and colours.

i'm hoping to add some more images soon as well as up and coming work, as my hours have dropped a little it will give me time to do some illustration work and be a lot more creative..

topman trend: northern lights...

this is an illustration that i've been thinking about doing the past few days to keep myself creative, add to my portfolio and to show off some of my styling that i've done since i've been working at the company! it was all done pretty quickly but i'm happy with the results and wow it felt so good to be doing something like this again-its been about four months since i've finished university!

i'm thinking about designing a new collection purely for myself and i don't think i'll make any of it but hoping to come up with something new and fresh!!

any constructive criticism is welcomed!

mr pug...

this is just a silly illustration that i did the other week! its hand-drawn and coloured in with watercolour and was then tweaked a little on my mac! he was a little rushed and the original looks a little nicer! but hoping to build up a little collection and maybe try sell some as cards? who knows someone might want an ugly pug drawing to give to someone! haha! and i like to call myself artistic!
