Chinese New Year at Ping Pong - Year of the dragon!

I did an illustration for Ping Pong the international dim sum restaurant! The illustration is of a dragon to celebrate year of the dragon for Chinese New Year. My drawing is in the menus and on the back, on t-shirts the staff are wearing and on the windows of all chains around the world for 15 days. How exciting!

Huntarian & Brunswick

Photos from a Saturday at the Hunterian museum (Royal College of Surgeons) and the Brunswick center London, which is such an amazing piece of architecture. I wish I lived in those flats!

Paris dog on wheels + sketchbook

Sketchbook and some drawings and more drawings also based on this rather large fella.
Excuse the dodgy night time lighting!

1940's Golden Dictionary

My mum found this amazing book in my Grandma's attic while she is sorting out moving house. It is pretty great! It has lots of illustrations in it that are pretty comical (see: cut). It's from the 60's (first printed in the 40's) and is falling apart.

Sketchbook Girls

These are some girls I drew wearing Fred Perry clothes that I wish I owned. This is the first time in ages I have used colouring pencils and I very much enjoyed it, I like the messiness. I think I will use them more!

Happy new year everybody! Thanks for reading my blog in 2011 :)
