Elizabeth

The brief for this editorial illustration was mentioning an English queen and I was hoping to be able to draw HM Elizabeth II with her floral dresses and quirky hats but it turned out that the editor ment the very first Elizabeth. And she is only featured in the background of the illustration anyway.

Here we are:

Out of the box

I think I have to start thinking out of the box - the deadline for this commission is approaching fast!

The diet plan - continuation

I hope you remember my illustration for a 'diet article' in this month issue of Twoj Styl magazine - here is the final version.

Meanwhile, inspired by my own work (ha!) I went for a jog yesterday (I am recovering today and it is raining heavily anyway) and now I am having some supertasty and healthy Spring food aka the green British asparagus with a fresh organic steamed salmon. So the idea of getting some more physical activity + a better diet is working for me so far!

Husband in a good company

My husband has two prints for sale at the prestigeous viennese West Licht Photographica Auction! The bidding finishes on 28th of May so go, have a look and buy!

P.S. I had to plaster the images with a watermark so that teenage girls would not post them all over their tumblrs without crediting the photographer, grrrrr...

I like when clients pay promptly

Proof in the images (paid household bills not displayed) :

- Marc's bag (I have managed to snatch the last one in red at Harvey Nichs)

- COS shirt that required a trip to Glasgow but was a perfect sartirial choice for an important client meeting

- Earl Grey tea from Mariage Freres - my favourite kind of black tea, with milk or without
