Illustration Friday - 'Burning'

Its been weeks and weeks since I've had a chance to squeeze in an Illustration Friday offering. So, this week I decided to fit in a quick illustration as a break from other jobs.

Besides, this weeks topic, 'Burning', is a great opportunity to create a bright and sunny image to counteract the icy cold November weather. So, here comes the sun, 'burning' brightly, keeping us all warm, making us all cheerful.

A New String to My Bow - Web Banners & Avatar Design

A couple of weeks ago I launched the Artwork By Angie facebook page. Today I logged on to see I've already reached 100 fans (very encouraging!). One of the great things that has come out of launching the facebook page is that I'm meeting lots of interesting and inspiring people online. One such person is the lovely Rose from Victoria Rose Crafts. Rose contacted me to commission a re-design of her craft website banner, blog banner, blog button and facebook avatar so that her busy craft business had a consistent, recognisable look.

So please, pop over to her website and have a look at what I've created for her (she's got some rather lovely crochet pieces on her site too!):

This job has definitely sewn a seed of an idea in my mind. Once I've got through the pre-Christmas madness I'd like to develop this further into another design service I will offer through my website. Thank you for the inspiration Rose!

A Cheeky Peek at Work Done Last Week!...

This past week has had me putting in some 'quality time' with ink pens, illustrator & photoshop ;-)

I've got a number of commissions to work on at the moment. Most are personalised portraits and a couple are Christmas themed commissions for businesses.

I've had a very productive past week and have enjoyed getting stuck in to all the work. However, as everything is all work in progress at the moment and will not be ready to reveal on here for a number of weeks, I thought it might be a nice idea to share a quick 'cheeky peek at work done last week'. In fact, I may make this a regular feature, so watch this space!

Hope you enjoy having a quick peep!

Oh, and if you spot something I'm working on for you, please remember these are works in progress - I'll be in touch very soon!
