  • Christmas Present Commission
    Christmas Present CommissionI was commissioned to create the illustrations for this present for my partner Nattie's grandmother. All the items on here were things that reminded Nattie of her nan Bubbles growing up. This piece was dear to my heart as I know how personal and heartfelt this was to her and to see the smile on Bubbles face when she opened it on Christmas day was priceless and made it completely worth it. Nattie did the layout and colour work for this project. Check out her amazing design work here: nattiedesi

    Dot Cotton Design - LeavingCard.comThese cards were created for LeavingCard.com. The CEO Sujay asked for Dot Cotton as she slipped off of EastEnders with no intentions of returning right under our noses without nobody noticing. These cards are to send to work mates that have left to let them know that they're not forgotten about. I had a blast creating dear ol' Dot. Created in Adobe Illustrator.
