A portrait of Marta

This piece is a personal project that I have designed to display in an exhibition based on Harlow Town. The aim is to highlight some of the many creative feature within the town centre which offer inspiration to its public.

I have included many of the sculptures which are dotted around the centre, and some of the architecture which give the town its character such as, the old citizens advice bureau, terminus house, and market square clock.

I have also added people into the piece to show the iteration between the town and its people. The two sitting on the bench are enjoying the relaxed environment of the water gardens, The cyclist is passing though due to the many cycle routes that link the centre to the other parts of town, and the guy on the balcony is overlooking Market Square at The Rows.

I have tried to create a true and positive representation of Harlow, and look forward to having it on display next month.

This piece will be on display from the 11th of July in Eastgate Gallery, Harlow.

After the popularity of last years run of tote bags that I designed for Herts and Essex Community Farm they asked me to print another load for this summer.

This time I was hired to print double the amount that I had printed previously, as they had sold out so quickly last time.

Which makes me feel quite proud as an illustrator to see so many people keen to buy my design.

Laying out my mini images of buildings, sculptures, and features of Harlow on to design software.

Not a final design yet, just a sneak preview before I complete this stage, and move onto print.

Inspired from a view I see on my way home from town. These tall trees stand so proud that they always catch my eye.

Since printing my previous set of designs, Winter Wildlife, the opportunity has been put to me to have some of my work on sale in this years Christmas shop in Eastgate, Harlow.

So that has motivated me to create a new design to sit on the shelf along side my last set of cards.

I wanted to create something a bit more simple, a one colour print, and what would be better in the theme of christmas then a page full of penguins.

Rather then just having cards stocked in the shop, my aim was to create A5 note/sketch books and a larger artprint too.

The process of printing often generates off cuts and misprints, so rather then throwing them away I decided to print on my off-cuts and cut up my misprints leaving me with loads of little squares of print, which I then turned into gift tags and greeting cards.

The shop opens on the 15th of December in Eastgate Gallery, Harlow.

The last couple of weeks I've been busy designing and creating my Winter Wildlife greetings cards.

I'm pretty pleased with the final results of all three designs. I can never be too sure how there going to look exactly before I start printing, but they turned out pretty much as I had planed.

So I'm quite happy to sell them in my new online Market.
I Think they will make good pieces of framed artwork once they have finished serving their purpose as cards.

Robin illustration, singing his little heart out. Another seek peek of one of my winter cards.

Starting to feel winter creeping upon us. So it must be about time to start designing 'Winter Cards'.

I don't want to give too much away before its finished but heres a peek of it half way.

I'll upload more pictures once the whole design is completed and cards are printed ready for sale.
