X ROY SPEX

It's finally done! I posted my WIP pics a while ago, and now I can present my latest illustration X ROY SPEX.

I had a lot of fun working on this illustration based on the idea of Roy Orbison wearing X-ray glasses. Definitely got a lot of practice at drawing skeletons. And had the best soundtrack while working on it!

 Keep posted with my latest illustrations on Instagram.

Roy Orbison WIP

Getting the details right in the hair

I've been working on a new illustration of one of my all-time favourite voices in music - Roy Orbison. I love his iconic sunglasses, haunting lyrics and that voice that got him the nickname 'the Caruso of Rock.'

Sharing my work in progress pics and inspiration on Instagram

Those that have been following my blog for some time may have noticed that I don't post here as often as I used to.

I've been blogging here for nearly 5 years, and I have enjoyed sharing posts that explain my process while being able to show multiple pictures of how my illustrations evolve. Its always been a huge encouragement for me getting feedback from my readers whether it's a comment on the blog post or an email.

I'm on instagram now and loving the ease of sharing my WIP pics and inspiration. I'm working on a new illustration at the moment which I can't wait to start posting pics of!

What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?

The four guys from The Buried Life on the cover of their book

I'm currently reading the book What Do You Want to do Before You Die?

It's a really inspiring read of how four young guys formed a group called The Buried Life and wrote a bucket list of 100 goals. They ended up achieving most of them like playing basketball with President Obama and being on the Oprah show.

The rest of the book is filled with bucket list ideas from people all around the world. Reading this book is so inspiring, after reading some of the goals they achieved it reinforces that truly, anything is possible.

Also as a side note - I posted this pic on my new instagram account, to keep up with my illustrations and work please check it out here.
