Fairy tale with knobs on aka The Royal Wedding

India Knight in the Sunday Times News Review christened todays event as 'a fairytale with knobs on' and I am looking forward to see how Sarah Burton's design works on Princess Kate.

So before I am off to celebrate our extra free day (and my husband goes to get himself a royal wedding sick bag) I am posting this illustration that I did a while ago for the royal engagement. As usual please click on the image to see it much bigger:

HMS Illustrious

What a coincidence.

My Foreign Life

I have started working on the material for my first illustration exhibition in Edinburgh! Next months are going to be really busy!

The show is entitled 'My Foreign Life' and I hope that all the images will form a strong portfolio when shown together.

Amy is going to be a part of the bigger work featuring several British musicians.

It is raining cats and dogs

This drawing was inspired by todays weather - rain and howling wind, in other words: better stay at home and keep cosy. I am hoping to do the whole series inspired by a brilliant collection of drawings by Pont that my mother-in-law has in her library. I should really do a naughty one too - illustrate a French version of this proverb: Il pleut comme vache qui pisse!

A full colour version of the sketch will be published in couple of days (as usual, please click to enlarge):
