Facial Yoga

Have you heard about facial yoga? I was really surprised when a beauty editor got in touch about illustrating a feature about these exercises. You are supposed to do lots of funny faces that are going to strenghten your muscles and stop your face from sagging.

Here are some asanas for your face that I prepared for this feature. I will be able to unveil the finished illustration in next couple of weeks.

Lady behind the wheel

The blog was very quiet for a while and unfotunately will have to stay that way for another while before I will be able to gradually dig myself out from under a pile of previously arranged work (mostly in photography which was recently published in The Financial Times, yay!). So watch this space and for the time being I am posting my latest illustration that has just been published in Twoj Styl magazine this Autumn.

The illustration is about a growing number of female drivers:

I have recently came accross this short film about Tina Berning's work. I have admired her (from afar of course) work for many years and I hope one day I will be able to achieve a similar quality in my work!

Meanwhile, have a look:

Glitter thoughts

All house got covered in red glitter but I am very happy with the result of another mix of photography with some non photographic media:

End of procrastinating

And back to work again! It will be quite a full on week with a new comission and 3 photoshoots but at least summer sales have started so it is a good reason to avoid spending all my money when things can get even cheaper in next couple of days!

Here is the full illustration that you have seen in bits so far and I am off to look for an eyepatch and painting foil necessary for my tasks in next couple of days (do not ask...). I will better give the Harvey Nichols a wide berth today...

Procrastinating

I have spent the whole day catching up with my favourite blogs (for the first time in weeks I had the whole day free and without any stress of an imminent deadline!) and making some notes about what to get during upcoming summer sales!
