My illustrations in Advocate's Mag!

Advocate art is the illustration agency that represents me, working on my behalf to sell my greeting card illustrations. They have just released their Summer edition of MaG, a catalogue/trend book showcasing collections of artwork and current trends; helping to give us artists even more exposure. I have been lucky enough to get my hands on a copy, and have spent the last hour or so thumbing through all the amazing artwork. It really is fantastic, an excellent way to show off our work. I am so chuffed to see that quite a few of my illustrations have been included alongside so many well-established and amazing illustrators. I am especially excited to see my delicate Christmas watercolours included on the 'Sophisticated Watercolour' page. Thank you Advocate. I have taken lots of photos so check out the MaG and my designs in the pictures below!

Book update!

I thought it was time for an update on how the book and digital archive of my grandpa's work is coming along. All four photo albums are now scanned, and in total there are over 600 photos! I am now going through the process of resizing, rotating and retouching them on Photoshop before adding them to the spreadsheet I made. The spreadsheet includes descriptions of the pieces, the date they were made/restored, any extra information on the work and photographs of the items. Below are screen shots of the spreadsheet so you can see how I am doing it. I have completed the first two Albums and am half way through the third, this album has nearly 300 photos so it is taking a while! Once it is done I will have made a full and comprehensive digital archive of his work. Then it's just the book!
