Congratulations Emma & Martyn!

My friends Emma and Martyn got married last weekend, and while I wasn't able to make it along on the day, I was able to be a part of their big day. Several months ago, they contacted me to ask if I would be able to draw the pair of them in the style of a lot of the Royal Wedding images that were being used on commemorative mugs and plates, that they could use on jam jars, mugs and fridge magnets and give as gifts to the wedding guests.

Here's my completed illustration...


And here's a photo of my image used on the lid of a jar of home-made jam...

The Royal Wedding dress revealed!

So tomorrow is the Royal Wedding and everyone seems to have momentarily gone insane!

This evening I was reading through a newspaper on my way home and there was a whole article about how everyone is desperate to know who has designed Kate Middleton's wedding dress. Really???

Anyway, it gave me an idea for a drawing, and so I can exclusively reveal the dress that Kate Middleton will be wearing tomorrow for the wedding...



...maybe!

Illustration Rally: Royal Wedding

In case you hadn't heard (because it hasn't been mentioned that much), next Friday is the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

I've been slightly amazed at the amount of Royal Wedding souvenirs that I've seen on sale leading up to the big day. Everything from masks of William and Kate to t-shirts, tea towels, plates and even condoms!

I'm sure even the Queen likes to have a nice cup of tea in a Wills & Kate mug...



The Illustration Rally site will be featuring a series of illustrations based around the Royal Wedding, and my effort is kicking the whole thing off.
